I got stupid on Saturday and bought 3 flash food produce boxes for $3 each, yielding 42 bell peppers, 10 tomatoes, a container of grape tomatoes, a dozen jalapeños, two ears of corn, 6 cucumbers, and 5 avocados.
Then spent all day yesterday roasting peppers and cherry tomatoes from the garden in the oven, blanching, peeling and seeding the store tomatoes, chopping other herbs and vegetables, and then making and freezing a bunch of sauces. 3 quarts of romesco, 3 quarts of pasta, two quarts of salsa, and 2 quarts of a curry. We still have romesco sauce in the freezer from the last time I did this, but I’m such a sucker for cheap produce and hate throwing away food.
