Mmm… Making a margherita pizza tonight with many scrumptious local ingredients. It’s also sort of a Norwich Route 5 pizza, because Killdeer is just down the road from King Arthur Flour, and most of the ingredients were purchased at these favorite spots. The fresh mozz is sold at Killdeer and made at Maplebrook Farm, in [...]

Another vegetable with architectural pretensions! Like the costata romanesca, this one has classical roots, but its look is more minaret than column. It’s a green brassica that tastes a bit like broccoli, looks a bit like its white cousin, and is a whole lot more fun than either. I bought this one today at Killdeer [...]

I am in wholehearted agreement with the motivation behind the New York Times editorial of a few days ago, “Farms and Antibiotics,” and with the legislation it promotes, which aims to drastically reduce the amount of antibiotics used in raising meat. The figures in this editorial are staggering. There are so many good reasons to [...]

The other day, I went back to visit friends from high school, whom I hadn’t seen in about fourteen years, in the town I haven’t visited much since then. Why not, I can’t really explain. It was one of the strongest experiences of sense-memory: watching the curve of the off-ramp come into view; feeling the [...]

Roving is a romantic way of saying moving from place to place. At one time, the word contained more layers of significance than it does now, including something like “lookin’ for love.” This sense finds its beautiful epitome in Byron’s love lyric, “We’ll go no more a-roving.” More than a poem of love, this is [...]

The Italian heirloom summer squash posing as a fluted Roman column. Striated and flecked with green on shades of green. When you slice it crosswise, the shapes are floral in a stylized, modern design kind of way. It maintains a firm, tender-bite texture unlike its more watery cousins, zucchini or yellow summer squash, and has [...]

It was an indulgent day with the in-laws. First this happened: Then this: We decided to heed this advice by visiting the local Buzzards Bay Brewery for a tasting. It was a low-key event. A version of “Desolation Row” was playing as we stepped into the simple plywood-floored room. There were four taps: my favorites [...]
Cucumbers, Part II: Pesticides

Cucumbers are on that list: the dirty dozen. These are the fruits and vegetables that, when grown with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, involve the heaviest use and retain the heaviest residues of these chemicals. Many of these are the sweetest, most thin-skinned, or most water-dense of our favorite produce. Remember my posts about peaches and [...]

“If you think I am going to make A sexual joke in this poem, you are mistaken.” So says Robert Hass, in his playful poem, dryly titled “Poem With a Cucumber In It.” The poem contains etymological musings on “cumbersome” and “encumber,” musings on the Berkeley sky, memories of travel, and a rough recipe for [...]
