Week of August 10

So many vegetables, so little time! We were away for the weekend, so I wasn't sure just what we'd have for dinner. Fortunately, we bought some eggplant at a farmstand and my garden is overflowing with certain vegetables.

So we dug potatoes, cut Red Russian Kale, picked some tomatoes and squash and we pulled together a pretty spiffy supper after all.

Garlic-roasted new potato salad (from the Dean and Deluca Cookbook)
