CELEBRATE SEASONAL EATIN'

Samhain: Time of the reaper

Fall Equinox: Getting ready to can the good stuff

Lammas: All about the bread

Winter Solstice: Still time to grill on the shortest day

From Bear:

Theresa's Celebrate pages are about getting in touch with the seasons. These pages will be about getting in touch with eating and cooking seasonally.

I'm learning that food tastes better in its own season. One Summer Theresa finally got me to like tomatoes, then when Winter came she said we couldn't eat any more until next July. I thought that was BS! But then I tried a cherry tomato from the store instead of our garden and found out it tastes like cardboard.

Theresa also taught me that if we pick the tomato and eat it right away, it's still alive. You can respect the plant's sacrifice by taking its life energy into your own, and it in turn nourishes you more. I like that if I eat it right away, it tastes better. 

So we are trying to learn to eat seasonally and respect our food. Join me as we explore Good Eatin' for the Wheel of Year:

• Samhain (late Fall)
• Winter Solstice (early Winter)
• Imbolc (late Winter)
• Spring Equinox (early Spring)
• Beltane (late Spring)
• Summer Solstice (early Summer)
• Lammas (late Summer)
• Fall Equinox (early Fall)

Imbolc: Winter cooking is an indoor sport.

Spring Equinox: Eggs everywhere

Beltane: One of many harvests for the sexy beast

Summer Solstice: Summer lovin'
