Remember Bountiful Baskets?

 I didn't get a basket all summer because I was doing long runs on Saturdays and was trying to eat out of my garden. Now my garden is on beyond dead and I'm not running so much, so I've been getting a basket now and then. In case anyone is curious, here's what came today:

6oz. Blackberries
4 bananas
5 Mexican gray squash
3 red bell peppers
4 crowns of broccoli
1 Bambino watermelon
7 Roma tomatoes
1 huge head of cabbage
12 Fiji apples
4 D'anjou pears
2 bulbs of fennel with fronds

Creamy Asparagus Soup

I tried this recipe for Asparagus Soup last night...so good! And really, really easy!
