Squash

Posted on July 20, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

I’m not sure what’s going on with my winter squash. They look weird. I planted four kinds of winter squash this year: butternut, delicata (the queen of squash), tahitian (supposed to be a long-necked butternut) and a couple seeds called “Cool Old … Continue reading →

My Beautiful Failures

Posted on July 17, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

I should be kicked off the internets. Really. Yesterday I grossly misrepresented myself with a status update and photo of some gorgeous jars purporting to be blueberry-rhubarb jam and raspberry jam. People “liked” them so much. Someone even offered to … Continue reading →

Salmon and Peas in Cream Sauce

One of the best things about summer, when there’s so much produce, is sitting around with an ingredient in mind and figuring out what I want to do with it and then how to make it happen. It might be … Continue reading →

Two Beet Salads

Posted on July 8, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

Roots are really fun to grow. It’s very satisfying when it’s time to start pulling up beets and radishes by the fistful. When a tall, thick carrot comes out of the ground, it’s a miracle. We’ve been making do with … Continue reading →

Remembering How to Eat

Posted on June 6, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

Now that I eat mostly seasonally, I sometimes forget what I eat. It’s like putting away clothes for winter. By spring, I’ve forgotten about those t-shirts I love or the pretty sleeveless blouses. I’m always surprised.   When I am looking … Continue reading →

Radish-Cilantro Fish Tacos

I was at my college reunion the past four days, and as soon as I came back I headed out to the garden. I knew things would have been happening these past days– which were steamy, hot, and followed by … Continue reading →

Lamb Kofta Feast

Posted on April 17, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

I made this lamb feast a week ago, as part of my ongoing exploration of Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s cookbook Jerusalem. The recipe is available on the London Telegraph’s  website here. I was thinking about this feast because it’s Holy Thursday, traditionally for … Continue reading →

Almanac

Posted on March 28, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

I’m thinking March might be the month when most blogs die. Of course, many blogs are begun as New Year’s Resolutions, on January 1, and those probably die by February 15, along with many diet and exercise plans. But March … Continue reading →

Sprouting

Posted on March 16, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

It’s been a while since I went to Youtube to learn to do something plant-oriented. I love Youtube because, even when I have good clear instructions and the process is simple, there is something about seeing someone do it. I … Continue reading →

Fermented Asparagus

Posted on March 1, 2014 by susanmsink@gmail.com

Last week I made fresh mozzarella for a pizza, which left me with whey, the perfect opportunity to do a lacto-fermentation project with whey. Also last week, we chowed down on the single jar of pickled asparagus I made from … Continue reading →
