Something good came my way at the end of the summer of 2010. Fast, [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2012/02/and-now-for-the-sequel-coming-soon-susies-second-book-the-fresh-green-table/feed/ 2 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/ 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/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 00:31:45 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=3065 Guess I am a little late to the party. 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/2012/01/armchair-farming/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2012/01/armchair-farming/#comments Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:44:16 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=3030 This winter I am home-schooling myself—about farming. This started out as a light-hearted endeavor. I figured I’d brighten up the dark days of winter by reading memoirs; you know—funny, it-changed-my-life farming stories. Couples who fell in love on farms, worked 26 hours a day, and lived happily ever after.

I picked some up at the grocery the other day because, frankly, our vegetable larder of turnips, rutabagas, kale, and beets is starting to freak me out. Plus, I can never resist the lime-green color of Broccoflower, and I love its nutty flavor when browned, too.

This may seem like a small matter, but for me it is a big deal. For years I rushed from one thing to the next; I couldn’t stay still long enough to appreciate and experience the good stuff right in front of me. I thought being goal-oriented [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2012/01/cow-spotting-garden-opoly-a-girl-a-dog-reasons-to-forgo-new-years-resolutions/feed/ 6 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/12/easiest-quickest-most-delicious-brussels-sprouts-ever/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2011/12/easiest-quickest-most-delicious-brussels-sprouts-ever/#comments Wed, 28 Dec 2011 01:30:06 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=2964 Yes, I know I am fond of hyperbole, and that the headline at the top of this blog is a bit over the top. But honestly, when something so tasty takes only two minutes to cook (and I am not kidding about that), I can’t help but enthuse.

Less than a half-mile as the hawk flies. (And fly it does. More on that in a minute.) We trekked over to her Mermaid-and-Starfish-festooned place on Sunday for her famous Solstice potluck.

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’m not expecting Santa to fit one of these in my stocking or anything. I’m not even really thinking the UPS truck is going to trundle down the driveway with a big box from the Farm Tek catalogue.
