Stuffed peppers, here we go!

I think it's a lot easier to cook veggies when they have meat to play with! Today I got my third meat share, and it was exciting as usual.

I asked Kim if there was ever any bacon, and she said there is. She's good about putting stuff you like into the share, and she told me to email her about it. You get bacon about one out of every three months.

It also sounds like there will be a lot of lamb in a couple months. Kim said lambs are born late winter and early spring in MA, so you have to wait until fall to slaughter them.

Also, if you're a CSA member, there's a cooler full of "extra parts" like pork liver and pork hearts, and so on, that you can take as part of your share. I took a pork heart for Elena and me to try. Time to look for recipes!

And on to the good stuff. My meat share this month included:

• 3 Greek lamb sausage (my absolute favorite!)
• 2 packages of ground beef
• 2 packages of 2 pork loin chops
• 1 Beef chuck shoulder steak for London broil
• 1 Pork shoulder country style ribs (yum!)
• 1 package of 4 beef patties
• 1 beef rib steak (this looks really good too)
• 3 breakfast sausage

What I really want to do is make some stuffed peppers with the ground beef and the multitudes of green peppers I picked up yesterday. Since the meat share meat tends to fill me up with smaller portions, the smaller peppers will be perfect.

I also bought some scallops from the fish stand at the Arlington Farmer's Market, and some orange cardamon goat cheese from the goat cheese stand. They were all out of lemon lavender goat cheese this time.

So much cooking to do!
