Don't you just hate when something is prettier than it is functional?
I don't. Not when it comes to bread. Never mind that a braided ring of sourdough doesn't make for nice, clean slices--it sure makes a pretty display on the dinner table. Especially, if unlike me you have the foresight to put the olive oil dipping bowl in the center of the bread ring and not leave it over on the table when you are taking the picture.
On a different note, my zucchini from CSA Boxes Two and Three are multiplying while I sleep. I am sure of it. We've had zucchini slices, stuffed zucchini and yesterday I made zucchini bread. (Keep in mind, zucchini in moderate to large quantities makes me very, very ill) I still have two zucchini on my counter top. Every time I use one, the next morning there are two on my counter top. Despite my best efforts, There are always two on my counter top. I think I am going mad.
I forgot to list the contents of CSA Box 3 so here it is:
2 large onions
3 tomatoes
1 big box of strawberries
3 zucchini
2 small loaves of French Bread (Ha! And these were in the box the day I made ciabatta)
1 Broccoli
This box didn't feel quite as plentiful (hence the bread) but it was with reason. The day before we had very bad storms in our area and a lot of people experienced flooding. I'm not sure that our farm could have completely escaped and I think that's why we didn't have a 'full' box.
