Another Vegan meal of twigs and berries. This time, in honor of Christmas and shared with Jason and Haruka: Roasted tofurky and root vegetables, mashed potatoes, golden gravy and the ubiquitous greens. This time of year we eat greens at every meal. Poor Little Vegetarians! Here’s what we had to eat tonight: twigs and berries. Jason and Haruka’s incredibly sweet and nutty Koshihikari rice, freshly harvested greens with radicchio from Matt and Jenn’s Dickinson College Farm, pan-fried quorm “chicken” patties topped with Mae Ploy sweet chili sauce. The only things keeping this meal from being vegan is the rehydrated [...] I’ve been happily making the smaller ecological footprint of a vegetarian lifestyle for about ten years now and it was only a matter of time before I felt inspired to shrink that footprint further. I’ve received many little nudges over the years, from Woody Harrelson’s 2003 movie, “Go Further” to recently released “Forks over Knives.” Lately, [...] Bob and I once swore we would never live in a place where breadfruit didn’t grow. We kept good to this promise for eight years and then re-entered the world of winter. A place where breadfruit doesn’t grow. A place where 99% of the population has no idea what breadfruit even is. But, as I discovered [...] Another day. A day a lot like yesterday. Cold and still, until I notice the busy birds flitting around the yard. Not as gray as yesterday. Not as windy. They sky is bluer, too. It’s Christmas Eve. Or Holiday Eve, if you will. Bob and I have a little preparing to do for the big holiday [...] It’s no secret that I love potatoes. I love harvesting them – pawing through the soil, uncovering each new spud with anticipation – kind of like scratch-off lottery tickets, only better tasting! I love the fact that they store well – often “discovering” some in our pantry when we’re looking for a quick, comforting meal. I [...] The summer squash is upon us along with tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, and basil. There’s so much food that we can no longer keep up by simply turning it into meals. No two people can eat ten pounds of potatoes, ten pounds of tomatoes, and five pounds each of cucumbers and summer squash each week! We fully [...] Sometimes you have to try something just to see how it comes out. Great cooks and gardeners are fearless, or quote a gardener, “There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments.” This week Bob and I found ourselves with a couple of pounds of parsnips. I wasn’t sure what to do with them but decided to give [...] I recently figured out any easy way to process the abundance of greens Bob and I take in from our garden and two CSA’s. It’s my job to keep the produce flowing from farm box to plate and the bulk of it is greens. Making sure we eat them is the best health insurance we [...] The other day, Bob went to Windy Meadows Farm to visit Gerry Levitt and brought back a crooknecked pumpkin they grew from seed we saved. This beautiful squash represents three generations of crooknecked pumpkins, beginning with the first one we brought home from The Cupboard in Denton, Texas. Bob plays around with the grandmother crooknecked [...] |
