September 1, 1939 – W.H. Auden. Archive for January, 2009. Ye gads, it has been cold recently! January 14, 2009 at 1:05 pm. I was thinking, as my header was making my shivering body crave the warm flavours of summer, that with a name like ‘Eating the Seasons’ I should really have a foodstuff appropriate to the time of year at the top of my blog. January 6, 2009 at 10:32 pm. Christmas in more detail. And now we have to plan a wedding. But we have until April or June 2010, and I’m determined not ...On the ...

The Shelf Preservation Society: We Marmamade Marmalade
http://shelfpreservation.blogspot.com/2010/01/we-marmamade-marmalade.html
The Shelf Preservation Society. Monday, 25 January 2010. We used Delia's recipe on the UKTV food site. Because it's a hardwired British thing to trust her implicitly, despite her tendency to overcomplicate things, and because it was free. We weren't sure how much marmalade would fit in the pan so we just went with the quantities specified, although it turned out we could've fit double into the pan. Double the quantities, I mean, not ourselves doubled over - it's not that big. We squeezed the bag, which a...

And it drove me mad, but the funny thing was that I actually agree with his conclusion, broadly that. The World According to Monsanto.

Silent Spring | Eating the Seasons
https://sproutingbroccoli.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/silent-spring
September 1, 1939 – W.H. Auden. April 27, 2009 at 9:12 pm. I’ve just started reading. By Rachel Carson, which is one of those seminal books I can’t quite believe I haven’t read yet. I feel I’m going to enjoy it. My sleep cycle is too messed up to permit any sensible comment on it, but I was struck by this sentence (p28 of the Penguin Classics edition):. Entry filed under: books. Slightly red-faced (and sore-backed). Food in the news – 27th April – 1st May. 3 Comments Add your own. May 10, 2009 at 6:16 am.

Eating the Seasons | Food is that rare moral arena in which the ethical choice is generally the one more likely to make you groan with pleasure. – Barbara Kingsolver; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle | Page 2

September 1, 1939 – W.H. Auden. Slightly red-faced (and sore-backed). Aw crap, I really shouldn’t have left the allotment to its own devices for THE WHOLE OF APRIL. Dear God, it’s worse than it was when I got it now. Lots of digging and dandelion tea for me! April 25, 2009 at 8:15 pm. The long Easter weekend got off to an unpromising start – when I finished work on Thursday evening, there was nothing in the house to mix with gin except flat Lilt from our cocktail party a month ago. Uch overdue weeding, a...

The Shelf Preservation Society: January 2010
http://shelfpreservation.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
The Shelf Preservation Society. Saturday, 30 January 2010. Well, today we were hoping to make lemon cordial. Not strictly seasonal, but we hoped that the experience would prime us for things like elderflower and nettle later in the year. Unfortunately, we need citric acid for that (for the "preservation" part) and there's none to be found in the shops hereabout. I wish there were proper chemists still. Labels: cordial lemon disappointment. Monday, 25 January 2010. The little shreds were hard for me to ge...

September 1, 1939 – W.H. Auden. May 21, 2009 at 9:13 am. So, yes, folks. You can shrink your carbon footprint, but you have to be nice to your in-laws. I’m going on a less exciting train to Northumberland for the long weekend, so shall not be around for a few days. I shall be hauling my pile of exciting books, my knitting, a week’s worth of Farming Today podcasts and an enormous bottle of gin* up the East Coast main line this evening and will indulge in a few blissful computer-free days. You are commenti...
