Even the goats are now sick of it.Īpril Pulley Sayre has crafted an eye-catching beauty of a picture book about vegetables.
If you've ever grown some, you know that you end up with zucchini coming out of your ears. Zucchini? Don't get me started on zucchini. This training has come in handy ever since, with my having now been a vegetarian for some thirty-something years. And it was rare to have a dinner at home that didn't include a green salad.
I'd often come home after school to carrot sticks or peas in their pods or chunks of cauliflower as afternoon snacks. One of the truly wonderful things I inherited from my mother (and her Sicilian-immigrant mother) is a love for all sorts of fresh vegetables. But the bok choy crop is long gone as we ease into fall. The tall stalks of brussels sprouts out there are just now ready to harvest. My favorite is to have a big pan of them stir fried in olive oil with chopped garlic. A six-pack of seedlings planted in our garden have produced a five-month-long never-ending stream of big, beautiful collard leaves. This year I got turned on to collard greens. You gotta call one today when you get off the train.Ĭall any vegetable and the chances are good
