Week 6: Pick-up and beet cake

This week's pick up included:

-turnips (hooray!)
-carrots
-cucumbers
-chioggia beets
-summer squash
-potatoes
-roma beans
-red spring onions

Some friends of ours have a monthly pot luck, which was held last night, and I decided to take the unconventional approach: a chocolate cake made out of last week's beets (recipe here). S. was very wary of the beet cake, but he did have a piece, and the general consensus seemed to be positive. It made for a very moist, if a bit earthly, chocolate cake.

After the pot luck I ended up sending this week's chioggia beets with a friend. I really do like beets, but after eating them every week thus far, I am ready for a little break.
