You can’t possibly be that happy or having that much fun.” They’ve been reading the blog, and they’re getting suspicious. Look, I’m sorry for the Pollyanna spin. No, my life is not perfect—no one’s ever is. But I doubt anyone wants to read about my [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/07/happiness-is-backyard-berries-black-raspberry-ice-cream/feed/ 2 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/pick-your-own-mint-make-a-refreshing-apple-lime-spritzer/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/pick-your-own-mint-make-a-refreshing-apple-lime-spritzer/#comments Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:24:12 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2353 You meet the most interesting people. If you have a farm stand in your back yard, that is. The farm stand didn’t start out as close to the house as it is now, but there were a couple of little problems that forced our decision to move it down the driveway. On a positive note, [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/pick-your-own-mint-make-a-refreshing-apple-lime-spritzer/feed/ 1 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/my-favorite-herb-of-all-time-is-thyme/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/my-favorite-herb-of-all-time-is-thyme/#comments Sat, 11 Jun 2011 20:38:30 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2269 Sorry for the bad-pun headline, but I do love fresh thyme. Right about now I’m getting to use a lot of it, for two reasons. First, I’ve got several plants flourishing, both right outside the kitchen door and also along the edge of the vegetable garden. Secondly, I keep cutting bunches to sell at [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/my-favorite-herb-of-all-time-is-thyme/feed/ 3 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/05/back-door-gifts-and-cinnamon-rhubarb-muffins/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/05/back-door-gifts-and-cinnamon-rhubarb-muffins/#comments Wed, 11 May 2011 16:39:15 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2007 A pile of freshly cut rhubarb stalks appeared at our back door last week, courtesy of our neighbor Ralph. This is one of the strange and wonderful things about living on the Vineyard: People are in the habit of sharing…without much fuss or fanfare. Stuff just shows up, unbidden but much appreciated.

Take my boyfriend, Roy, for example. I’m sure when he met me, he had no idea that one day he’d be standing around the kitchen island (which he built for me) with seven spoons and a heap of roasted squash in front of him.

I always pack too much, eat bad fast food that I don’t want, and wind up becoming cranky and homesick.  I like to think this is because I was born under the sign of Cancer (with Cancer-rising, too—the double whammy).

So I could give myself permission to write about rhubarb—if it were a fruit. Which it’s not. (Technically it’s a vegetable).

So you’re stuck with six celery roots the size of footballs? At least they’re edible. Seriously, I know it’s hard to figure out what to do with these things; I’ve had quite a few on my hands recently thanks to my winter CSA share from Whippoorwill Farm.

But the reality is, thanks to my CSA at Whippoorwill Farm here on Martha’s Vineyard, I was swamped with fingerling potatoes last summer and fall, so happily, I have a [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/02/more-delicious-ways-to-cook-fingerling-potatoes/feed/ 1
