(The Martha Stewart Show—I cooked quick veggie sides from Fast, Fresh & Green.) A few years back I did a satellite media tour around this time to promote Fine Cooking’s book How To Cook A Turkey. The year before that, [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/11/best-roasted-brussels-sprouts-10-fave-thanksgiving-sides/feed/ 2 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/11/it-ain%e2%80%99t-over-%e2%80%98til-it%e2%80%99s-over/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/11/it-ain%e2%80%99t-over-%e2%80%98til-it%e2%80%99s-over/#comments Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:25:28 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2759 The farm stand fell over on Saturday. Tipped by a terrific gust from the nor’easter, it fell backwards, impaling itself on a small rock in the process. Just a little damage to the roof, no big deal. But it’s funny. Seems the farm stand somehow knew the season was over. Only an hour earlier, as [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/11/it-ain%e2%80%99t-over-%e2%80%98til-it%e2%80%99s-over/feed/ 3 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!

There’s a palpable void that I can’t quite describe, except that suddenly everything is much too quiet without her giggles and shrieks and pattering all around. After a few days we adjust and look forward to her next visit.

The stars aligned perfectly, as they only do when you don’t plan too hard or think too much, to offer us a beautiful day and a perfect window of opportunity.

Her name is Turtle. Yeah, well. Roy came home with Turtle the other day, claiming to have rescued her from the middle of the road. “I kept her because I thought Libby would like her.” Yeah, right.

We haven’t called 911 yet, but when we found Martha (one of the big gold Buff Orpingtons) on top of the water jar in the brooding box, we knew the chicks were getting frisky. It’s amazing how fast they’re getting their feathers and learning to stretch their wings.

First of all, there are baby lambs. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing cuter than a baby lamb—even though the one above looks more like the Easter Bunny.

First, I think the whole bird thing is part of my effort to be more in touch with nature (goofy as that sounds, I know).

I mean the seed catalogues arrived over a month ago. And so I’ve started to pester Roy about building our seed-starting shelves. I know we really don’t need to start the tomatoes for two months, but, you know, I like to be ready. Yes, it’s hard to think [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/02/the-garden-in-grey-white-time-to-think-green/feed/ 2
