"It's a familiar, happy dilemma of the season: We scrutinize the offerings at the farm stand or farmers market, trying to decide what to buy, when everything looks so good...Arriving back home, our arms full of summer, we have half a thought that, perhaps, just maybe, we bought too much. Then we sample the wild blueberries, and think about all the dishes we'll make with our bounty, and the voice of reason grows faint." From the Farm Stand, Gourmet Magazine, July 1993

Sweet Pickle Relish and Therapy
Last week ended on a sour note...I'll spare you the gory details, some of which were a result of my own impulsivity. I landed on my doorstep Friday afternoon wrung out and in a low mood. So I rolled into bed early, secure in the knowledge that things would be better after a good night's sleep and a spell in the garden, and I was right. Five hours of hard work, weeding, watering, and spreading compost on Saturday morning proved to be the cure. With fresh air and sunshine and these looking down on me, I was cured.
