Photo: Emma Alter The eggplant that I have been growing in my garden has been extremely successful this year. The flowers are beautiful, which is always nice, and each plant is providing a large number of vegetables. I’m girding my loins for the onslaught of eggplant ready for harvesting. I have at least six coming in the next day or two, maybe closer to ten. Some vegetables you can keep around the kitchen for a while, but eggplant tends to get bitter, so you should cook it as soon as you can…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: Emma Alter Once I discovered earlier this spring how really delicious fava beans are, I have been buying them every time I see them. There’s no doubt they are a bit more work that the average bean, but I love the taste and the texture and I think it’s worth the work. The season isn’t very long, and I thought it was over because I hadn’t seen fava beans in the organic market where I shop for awhile, but suddenly there they were again. This may be the last hurrah for them for this year. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

During heat waves in my childhood, my mother would send us outside with thick slabs of sweet, dripping watermelon. My brother and I would stick out faces into it and let the cold juice run down our chins.
