Garden Watch: June 2, 2011. First Picks

June 2, 2011

Big week in the garden. First week some of it comes into the kitchen for real meals. Just picked the first ripe strawberries. The basil's going wild after the first week of hot sun. I'm thinking about a very fresh pesto tonight. Maybe a few of the season's first Basil Rolls.

Popsicle Time: Banana-Strawberry

June 1, 2011

Get a really ripe banana. Ripe strawberries. So sweet you won't even think about adding sugar. A deeply sweet and wonderfully refreshing Way to end a meal on a hot day.

Pizza from France: Tarte flambé

May 31, 2011

So delicious. You're forgiven in advance if you eat too much. Like I did. Sweet, creamy onions. Super smoky bacon. On a very, very thin and crisp pizza crust. Best $2 pizza you'll eat this year.

Slower Sangria

May 28, 2011

Slower to lose its cool. Slower to lose its fruit flavor. Slower to intoxicate you on a hot day. It's all in the ice cubes. Or ice balls. Fresh frozen fruit juice and zest.

Melon-Ginger-Mint Popsicles

May 26, 2011

Get a really ripe melon. So sweet you won't even think about adding sugar. Not even to offset the kick of the ginger and the cool of the mint. A truly sweet and wonderfully refreshing Way to end a meal-on-a-stick on a hot day.

Gazpacho Popsicles: Meal on a stick

May 25, 2011

This savory popsicle may not qualify as a complete meal, but it's a thoroughly tasty, refreshing vegetable course. A convenient, hand-held soup and salad on a stick. Great for parties. Easy for everybody, like a hot dog. But with a sense of humor. And great ingredients.

A vegan walks into a barbecue. Again.

May 24, 2011

Thinking about firing up the grill for some burgers but can't remember who eats what? Here's the answer: an unconstructed grilled fish or steak salad that's a real mouthful for an omnivore. And the best salad a vegan ever had.

Strawberry Rhubarb Brioche

May 21, 2011

Break it open while it's still warm and you'll want to bury your nose in it. Which is not the same as the Strawberry Rhubarb stew. You'll just lick that off your plate. Less than a buck for a great little breakfast.

Spring Farro Salad

May 19, 2011

A perfectly delicious Way to get a perfectly healthy meal into your diet. High-protein whole grain. Barely cooked vegetables. Almost makes itself in 25 minutes. Light, bright, satisfying meal with big flavors. Five dollars for two of you.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Soda Pop

May 18, 2011

Back in the BCS Soda Lab again. Trying out the Spring flavors this time. Still looking for that magic flavor combination that will convert each and every cola addict of every age to a healthy soda pop drinker. So I cooked some strawberries and rhubarb.
