plum and walnut crisp with ginger ice cream
Posted in eat on August 27, 2008| 1 Comment »
I made this crisp yesterday night from my farmshare plums. It was delicious.
Modifications: whole wheat flour, used store-bought Reed’s ginger ice cream, I had less fruit on hand (2lbs instead of 2.5 lbs) – which actually worked out well because other reviewers said there wasn’t enough crumble for the fruit.

I want to make a lot of meals at home now that I have my new job which is more fun, lets out earlier and pays a lot less. Then I can take leftovers for lunches instead of paying Soho lunch prices! I’m going to start the new regimen this week.
- pizza with either home-made red sauce, pesto or garlic butter and grilled veggies and fresh mozzarella
- swiss chard & onion tart
- chicken & zucchini curry with couscous or quinoa
- soba noodles with marinated tofu
- veggie burgers
- plum tart or cobbler with ginger ice cream
- I also want to learn how to make my own pickled beets, because pickled is pretty much the only way I like to eat them.

that about sums it up.
David and I started cooking this eggplant parmesan at about 11:00 last night. We used the eggplants and basil from our farmshare. Could have used the heirloom tomatoes but used canned sauce instead. I fell asleep once it was in the oven. I don’t remember much after that. I do remember groggily lurching to the table and eating two pieces of 5-billion-calorie deliciousness, but that’s about it…

Fruit Share: An Embarrassment of Peaches:
- White Lady Peaches
- Yellow Semi-Freestone Peaches
- Saturn Peaches (donut peach variety)
Vegetable Share: August Bounty!!!
- HUGE basil plant plucked straight from the earth
- heirloom tomatoes
- Tuscan kale (a bit flimsy looking)
- onions
- beautiful fat European eggplants!
- rainbow carrots
- and even a cantaloupe!
I am feeling really ! about everything, obviously. I have been looking forward to getting eggplants for quite some time. I want to make an eggplant parmesan tonight, but we have to get some more cheese I think. We still have a lot of salad stuff left over from two weeks ago?! so we need to make something that involves a lot of japanese turnips, cucumbers and cooked beets asap.
