This succulent is generally thought of as a weed, but it is nutritious and purportedly delicious (I've never tried it, sorry!). It is a rare plant relatively high in omega-3s, the healthy fats. Wrap it in a moist paper towel and plastic, and store in the crisper. Eat quickly. Wash and remove the larger stems. It can sub for spinach in most cooked recipes, is added to soups and omelettes, in salads or on sandwiches, stir-fried or pureed.
Using up the squash -- I'm working on making crunchy pickles out of some of the squash. They're relatives of cucumbers, so they can't be too far off. I'll let you know how that turns out. In the meantime, they're gourmet little guys rather than your bog-standard zuccs and yellow squash, so try sauteeing, grilling, and roasting them until they're all gone in September.
