How to Store Tomatoes
There is always controversy about whether or not to refrigerate tomatoes.
Most people say NOT to put them in the fridge as it robs the tomatoes of their flavor and texture. My personal opinion is: go through your CSA basket and find the ones that are ready ‘right now’’. They either get used tonight or put them in the fridge to use in the next day or two. Take them out one-hour before using to allow them to warm up to room temperature.

How to store Summer Squash
Store summer squash in the refrigerator. If it is long and green (or yellow), then It’s Zucchini. Small round ones with scalloped edges are called Patty Pan (flying saucer shaped). The dark green round squash is another type of Zucchini. Half yellow & half green squash is called Zepher (literally half and half).
