		<description><![CDATA[I was going to talk about last’s week’s rain and floods but after the disaster in Japan they are quite beside the point.
So, I will simply note that it’s been warm and relatively dry. We have snow irises peeking up, the first sign that, yes, the earth has decided that summer will come again. For [...]]]></description>

So much for posting regularly. Work, snow, various ailments, you know, the usual excuses. I have been cooking, though, enough to have something to talk about.
For one thing, I’ve been roasting vegetables. Between carrots and turnips, Brussels sprouts, green beans, and, my favorite, sweet potatoes, they’ve been really successful. [...]]]></description>

There are advantages to living in a small community with local farms. Aside from the summer farmer’s markets and farm stands, the local restaurants can make good on serving local produce. I can now choose from two Winter Farmer’s markets, with greenhouse/hydroponic greens, root vegetables, cheeses, and meat. One of them is less than a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Turkey bone soup is usually pretty disappointing. It’s only in the last couple of years that I’ve discovered that straining the stock through a chinois gives you a good clear and well-flavored stock. This year, I had over two quarts. I also had some local Andouille from Pekarski’s in South Deerfield, some okra from Whole [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The orange season is upon us. It’s a muted season this year—the foliage is turning, but without the vibrant color of some years. It’s tempting to see it as a reflection of the state of affairs—the economy, the debacle that is our nation’s politics, my own mood which is decidedly not sunny. But perhaps not.

Old Friends Farm in Amherst has grown ginger for the last couple of years, selling it at the Amherst Farmer&#8217;s Market. I usually buy a couple of hands worth and stick it in the freezer in a ziplock baggie. I grate it directly&#8211;the skin is thin enough not to matter. But we&#8217;ve run out of [...]]]></description>

This time I tried making mozzarella with raw milk from Cook Farm. It is a local dairy that serves ice cream (try the Inez&#8211;coconut with chocolate chips). You have to order the raw milk  in advance. Interestingly, before I could order, they wanted to make sure I understood what I was ordering and made sure I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Up and down the Pioneer Valley, Polish names on farms, businesses and mailboxes are as common as maple trees. The Valley&#8217;s Polish community is long-established and well-assimilated so there are fewer specialty stores than is the case with more recent ethnic communities. However, there are outposts on either end of the Holyoke Range, in Chicopee [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s long after dinner and the writers are in full party mode, making this an extremely difficult audience. But Bitterman smiles [...]]]></description>
