Boston lettuce texture, very pretty, self seed after a season.<br /><br />Thanks, Katie :-)<br /><br />Emily- thank you for that recommendation - sounds delicous,<br /><br />Sara - no, I don't think there's chimichurri in the book. Or is there? Hm. No... A fresh herb rub for summer grilling - different. I'll post one :-) Balance tartness with sugar.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-3993341659944032672012-10-23T15:15:22.017-04:002012-10-23T15:15:22.017-04:002 things: will you have a recipe for chimichurra i...2 things: will you have a recipe for chimichurra in your book? Mine was a bit heavy on the lime I think, and my blender needed oil or something to help the leaves etc. blend together.. <br />also Carr's Cider House in Hadley, MA makes artisanal hard ciders, if you are in the neighborhood after visiting the Berkshires. I have not tried them but they 'read' as delectable.

The woman who runs the place recently had her ciders featured at a cider dinner at Buttermilk Channel, and they were outstanding... old, wild, 100+ year old apples pressed into varietal ciders. They were superb, the best I've ever had.<br />Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06501305650592828472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-36708808559126385962012-10-23T09:12:39.712-04:002012-10-23T09:12:39.712-04:00I love the fall.

My very confused pepper and tomato plants are still putting out new buds...but the trees are turning such lovely colors. Your photos are fantastic. I can almost smell fall in the air. It's a great time to sit out with a sunset drink and enjoy the weather - with or without jets ;-)Katie C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-288549055810231462012-10-23T02:21:22.657-04:002012-10-23T02:21:22.657-04:00Love the shot of the sunlit/moonlit leaves I reall...Love the shot of the sunlit/moonlit leaves I really must grow those with the red flecks on the leaves - can't remember what they are called but they look so pretty.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-41410873553820286002012-10-22T21:20:58.428-04:002012-10-22T21:20:58.428-04:00Here at my quiet, remote place on a Chesapeake bac...Here at my quiet, remote place on a Chesapeake backwater, I can scientifically report the birds migrating from Maria's abode are quickly showing up around here, flittering all about in waves of flashing color. <br /><br />And in order that I can view them more closely--and thereby record their species in my new "bird book" (a gift from a lady amused at my ignorance), I bought an expensive "spotter scope," fitted on a tripod. But there is a technical problem to report: They don't stay still long enough for me to "get a fix," much less record them. What to do... <br /><br />This area is so darn remote we never have commercial flights go over, but there is the infrequent fighter jet roaring high above while patrolling out of a big naval base situated higher up on the Bay. You know what the base public information officer calls the noise of the jets screeching overhead? "The Sound of Freedom."<br /><br />Hah! <br /><br />Does this flak think we are idiots who so easily succumb to public relations slogans?? <br /><br />No, actually, the noise we hear about once a week is jet noise. That's all..
