Bouquet Garni, Young Beans, and a Roosting Chicken

by Sue Schlabach | Aug 28, 2012 | Artisanal Living, Chickens, Eating and Cooking, Family, Farm Life, Garden, Recipes, Summer, Vermont

Tonight’s dinner of braised root vegetables was seasoned with bouquet garni—a pleasing little bundle of parsley, thyme and bay. We ate the sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets over gnocchi, drizzled with the pan juices, butter, and chopped herbs. The wind picked...

Death of a Lamb

by Sue Schlabach | Aug 26, 2012 | Artisanal Living, Eating and Cooking, Family, Farm Life, Friendship, Garden, Local Food, Summer

Oh E.B. White. You came to mind immediately yesterday. A day so long and multi-faceted that my memory of it now breaks it into chapters. More of E.B. White to come. Stay with me. Chapter 1 12:15 a.m.  Lights out. We’ve just finished watching the sad and slightly...

Thunderstorms, Evening, Porches

by Sue Schlabach | Aug 10, 2012 | Family, Natural World, Summer, Vermont

  I grew up in southeastern Pennsylvania where summers were hot and muggy. When a thunderstorm rolled in I loved to sit on the porch swing watching sheets of rain pour down off the roof, with the lilacs 15 feet away becoming a mere shadow of themselves through...

I Had A Hard Time Waking This Morning…

by Sue Schlabach | Aug 2, 2012 | Artisanal Living, Garden, Summer, Vermont

….I had a lot of things on my mind (as the song by The Band goes). This morning started at midnight when my alarm clock went off. Apparently we had a blip of a power outage last night and it set my alarm back to 12:00 a.m. I—mercifully—got back to sleep without...
