This recipe is taken from THE LILLY WALLACE NEW AMERICAN COOK BOOK
I don’t remember when or where we bought this cook book, although I am fairly sure it was likely about 40 years ago, in the early 1970s. We got it either as a collection of items at an auction in central Pennsylvania or at a yard sale. Â Two days ago, we had just gotten a nice head of broccoli form the Belnheim Farms Fall CSA, and I was looking for a way to prepare it. I have been reading History of Food in 100 Recipes by Sitwell, William [Collins,2012] [Hardcover]
(1734) BROCCOLI WITH ONION SAUCE
“Cut off woody portions of broccoli and the large outer leaves. Wash and soak in salted water for a few minutes.” Â Divide the flowerettes of broccoli, checking for worms (especially if you grow the broccoli yourself or it is not purchased in a store. “Then cook, uncovered, in boiling salted water” so that the broccoli is bright green and slightly crisp. “Saute onion in butter until lightly browned. Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add broccoli and heat 1 minute. Serves 4.”

“We buried my father on a magnificent hilltop, rising above the West Virginia valley where he had spent his childhood summers. Here the grass grew so tall that the seed heads bowed in the wind, nearly touching the ground before straightening again. Below, expansive views of hay fields and forests stretched to the horizon, mountains rising on all sides.
I sat for a long time on that hilltop, surrounded by the grass. There was so much I would miss. Besides the laughter, besides the companionship, I felt overwhelmed that, despite all of his misgivings, he had ultimately chosen to support me. What greater honor than for a father to stand behind his child? He had found something in me that changed his mind about the farm.
…
Sunshine and rain, carbon and nitrogen. THese things were available for free as long as the land was properly managed. I dreamed of a farm that was self-fertilizing, drought-resistant, sustainable both economically and environmentally. As I looked out over the fertile valley, I knew there was nothing stopping us from making our farm one gigantic, living solar panel.”

Latin American Street Food: The Best Flavors of Markets, Beaches, and Roadside Stands from Mexico to Argentina

This recipe was done with corn just at the beginning of November at the farmers market in Fredericksburg.
Ingredients:
Melt butter in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the corn, onions, and chilies. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender, about 10 minutes.Add he garlic and ezapote (if using) and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add the water and the salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes. If you’ve used the ezapote, remove it and discard it.
Serve in bowls or mugs with a dollop each of mayonnaise and yogurt, a lime wedge. Sprinkle with cheese and chile powder.
Very nice!

Managing a Political Campaign

I collected these links as I started. Managing  a political comparing was something I had never before done. With no fault to anyone, the campaign soon took all my time and most of my thoughts. It turned out to be a very satisfying experience.
