Here I have been thinking I have some extra-special arugula-growing talent, because mine is still alive in the garden in late January. (Yes, and I’ve reminded everyone of this in nearly every recent blog.) And never mind that it’s been incredibly mild this year—we  had 8 [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2012/01/winter-whites-and-something-bright%e2%80%94roasted-cauliflower-with-double-lemon-ginger-dressing/feed/ 0 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/12/tiny-roasted-beets-a-winter-garden-salad-and-a-dog-that-likes-both/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/12/tiny-roasted-beets-a-winter-garden-salad-and-a-dog-that-likes-both/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:25:26 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2905 You would think that at some point I’d reach my limit with this whole veggie thing. But it seems I can never get enough. On Saturday I threw Libby and Farmer in the car (this was not hard, as where one goes, so goes the other) and headed off to Whippoorwill Farm. I’d heard a [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/12/tiny-roasted-beets-a-winter-garden-salad-and-a-dog-that-likes-both/feed/ 0 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/08/a-video-of-the-farmette-a-paella-dinner-and-a-recipe-for-unsellable-tomatoes/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/08/a-video-of-the-farmette-a-paella-dinner-and-a-recipe-for-unsellable-tomatoes/#comments Thu, 11 Aug 2011 02:35:22 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2490 Darn it all, wouldn’t you just know it—this is the time of year when there’s so much going on at the farmette that I could write a blog every day. Except, ironically, there’s no time to write—too busy! So today I’ll just have to give you a quick update on the goings on around here, because [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/08/a-video-of-the-farmette-a-paella-dinner-and-a-recipe-for-unsellable-tomatoes/feed/ 2 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/tip-of-the-week-skewer-onions-for-the-grill-with-turkey-lacers/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/tip-of-the-week-skewer-onions-for-the-grill-with-turkey-lacers/#comments Sun, 05 Jun 2011 16:30:57 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2216 Yep, you guessed it. I’ve been spending so much time doing this (harvesting greens, left) that I haven’t had time to do much of that (cooking, right). Or to write a blog post this weekend. But I have been thinking of you, I promise. So I offer a good old tip I’ve used for years [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/06/tip-of-the-week-skewer-onions-for-the-grill-with-turkey-lacers/feed/ 2 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/05/sweet-pea-dreams-and-a-quick-slaw-with-sugar-snaps/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/05/sweet-pea-dreams-and-a-quick-slaw-with-sugar-snaps/#comments Wed, 04 May 2011 23:47:18 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=1934 Peas, alas, are not a spring vegetable, despite what legions of food writers would have you believe. It is wonderful to think of things like spring pea risotto and minted pea soup for Mother’s Day, but unless you are lucky enough to live in a really temperate climate, you’ll be waiting for fresh peas until [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/05/sweet-pea-dreams-and-a-quick-slaw-with-sugar-snaps/feed/ 2 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/04/instant-gratification-roasted-fingerling-watercress-salad/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/04/instant-gratification-roasted-fingerling-watercress-salad/#comments Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:00:41 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=1757 It’s funny how things come together in the kitchen. This week I’ve had lots of fingerling potatoes lying around, as I’ve been developing recipes with them for Vegetarian Times magazine. As it happens, I also treated myself yesterday to a watercress gathering excursion. Nice to be out in the quiet of the early morning under clearing [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/04/instant-gratification-roasted-fingerling-watercress-salad/feed/ 0 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/07/its-about-the-green-beans-stupid/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/07/its-about-the-green-beans-stupid/#comments Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:30:45 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=805 For all the complaining I did about green beans as a child, I can’t believe I’m growing (and eating) more of them these days than practically any other vegetable. My green bean complaints started early. First, my mom seemed stuck on serving those frozen, stringy “frenched” beans about five times a week, no matter what [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/07/its-about-the-green-beans-stupid/feed/ 1 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/06/here-at-lettuce-central-we-love-our-vinaigrette/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/06/here-at-lettuce-central-we-love-our-vinaigrette/#comments Tue, 08 Jun 2010 20:28:36 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=577 As if it weren’t bad enough to live with 400 seedlings in our tiny apartment all winter, now we have a LPU (lettuce processing unit) in the kitchen.

You never know what’s in them—could be something really tasteless (pretty common) or even overly tough and bitter. Just because the leaves are small does not mean they are going to taste good.
