Extending the gardening season
Free Press - 11/27/2009.By Georgeanne Davis – I love Edith Piaf's "Non, Je ne regrette rien," and hope some year I'll be singing that tune as I look at the garden season just past. But not this year. With very heavy frost now setting in most mornings, I have good reason to regret not putting more fall garden plots in under cover. |

Grace your holiday table with pumpkin seed croquettes
Portland Press Herald - 11/25/2009. By Avery Yale Kamila – Holiday tables groan under the weight of tasty vegetable sides, but no vegetarian wants to subsist on roasted Brussels sprouts alone. When we plant-eaters sit down to a festive feast, we may skip over the turkey and ham, but that doesn't mean we don't crave our own entree. These days, it's easy to pop into the grocery store and pick up a faux turkey product and plop it onto the table. Yet these processed vegetarian mystery meats leave a lot to be desired. Instead, I take to my kitchen and cook up vegan offerings that complement the flavors of the season. |
