At one time or another we’ve all added something tasty to give our plan ‘ol glass of water or fizzy seltzer a little boost. A squeeze of lemon or lime, a few slices of cucumber, perhaps a few sprigs of mint.
This summer try something a little different. Cool off your drinks and add a hint of fresh flavor with melon ball ice cubes.
Scott Chaskey, Author of Seedtime, and Director of Quail Hill Farm—one of the first CSA farms in the country—headlined at our June Maker Talk. A poet, an artist, and, let’s not forget, a working farmer, Scott considers the web of biodiversity and resilience the heart of our cultural inheritance. Seedtime is a celebration as well as a call to action urging us to renew our role as citizens of nature, as the corporations that manufacture GMOs disrupt the future of seed-cultivated agriculture.

If the 4th of July has you feeling nostalgic for drive-ins, soda shops, and old summer loves, perhaps it’s time to revisit an all-American blast from the past, the iconic “Coke Float” — updated to ice cream form. I can guarantee that memories of this fresh take on the classic will linger all summer long.
Were you about to make a pie for this weekend? Stop. I think you should join me in abandoning Team Pie for Team Galette; you won’t regret it. It’s not like we haven’t had our share of exceptional vegetable galettes, but save a nectarine version in the archives and a cherry-almond riff in the book, I usually defaulted to pie when it came to fruit, round, slabbed or cookie-ed. But last week, when we had an excess of blueberries on our hand because someone (cough) cannot control herself when anything first graces the Greenmarkets, it all felt like so much work — all of that dough, sugar, crimping and weaving and trimming, baking time, plus I have no idea where my pie dishes are, they’re probably being used as a play-doh receptacle somewhere. A galette would never do this to you.
Galettes are your friend. Requiring less of everything, they come together in all of 15 minutes and take 30 to bake, which means you can totally wait until the last minute to make one, as you were going to anyway. They don’t care if you make them round or square — whatever shape the dough stretches out into will do. But that doesn’t mean someone (cough) didn’t get carried away trying to put a July 4th spin on hers.
