Last week, after the grand sopping we got (more on the way from Hurricane Earl), we pulled up most of our onions in the garden, as they don’t like wet feet and looked like they [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/08/a-sweet-tooth-and-her-caramelized-onions/feed/ 2 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/08/todays-tomato-destination-easy-bruschetta/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/08/todays-tomato-destination-easy-bruschetta/#comments Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:33:24 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=900 It blew like crazy last night. The garden is pretty disheveled—flattened in fact. The pole bean trellis (with all of its Jack-and-the-Beanstalk vines) is face down in the zinnias. The cosmos are hugging the ground like a dog that’s been chastised. And the little zucchinis on the new plants are bare and naked, exposed to [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/08/todays-tomato-destination-easy-bruschetta/feed/ 3 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/08/we-won-we-won-six-ribbons-at-the-ag-fair%e2%80%94woo-hoo/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/08/we-won-we-won-six-ribbons-at-the-ag-fair%e2%80%94woo-hoo/#comments Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:18:58 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=889 This morning I got stung by a bee—twice. It was my fault—I was trying to harvest squash blossoms, and the bees weren’t  finished with their business inside them. One bee got so mad at me that he followed me all the way to the compost pile. And somehow, one got inside my pants. Yeah, ouch.

Here I am, writing about roasted tomatoes—again. I love roasted tomatoes so much that I’ve written about them every chance I’ve gotten. If you want to slow-roast big, juicy beefsteaks or heirlooms, read how I do it over at Fine Cooking magazine’s website.

It’s a fun guessing game, but I rarely get it right. Still, I get a tiny thrill of anticipation every evening as I’m walking up to the stand. Will the bean basket be empty? (Usually.)

When I look at our tomatoes every morning, I envision something like this having gone on the night before. There are tomatoes strewn everywhere, little bites taken out of just-ripening cherry [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/08/whos-eating-the-tomatoes-call-in-csi-please/feed/ 2 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/2010/07/peaches-cream-a-taste-of-summer-in-lewes-delaware/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/07/peaches-cream-a-taste-of-summer-in-lewes-delaware/#comments Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:52:16 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=778 Traveling is not my forte. 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). This accounts for both my extreme homebodiness and my crabbiness [...]]]> http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/07/peaches-cream-a-taste-of-summer-in-lewes-delaware/feed/ 7 http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/07/birthday-worthy-silver-queen-corn-fastest-fudge-cake/ http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/index.php/2010/07/birthday-worthy-silver-queen-corn-fastest-fudge-cake/#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:50:00 +0000 Susie Middleton http://sixburnersue.com/cooking-fresh-eating-green/?p=761 This week I had to write my own book review for the Huffington Post. A little awkward, yes indeedy. But a good opportunity, so I took it. The fun part was choosing a sample recipe from Fast, Fresh & Green that I thought a wide range of people might like—and that was spot-on seasonal.

We picked them, put them out at the farm stand, and someone bought them. Yeah, I know. That won’t last forever. There will come a time, say mid-August, when you won’t be able to give away a summer squash, they’ll be so ubiquitous.
