| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Notes from my back porch... I can't seem to let go of the IDEA of summer. As the leaves make their inexorable progression toward their autumnal brilliance I still want to publish some last articles about summer and its warm memories. So this week, you'll have to let me indulge in just one more summer story. This one is an essay by book author Marilyn Weymouth Seguin, who has spent her childhood summers -- from early June until Labor Day -- on Little Sebago Lake in Maine. Click here for her essay... More Stories This Week: Pasta with garlic and oil (Pasta Aglio e Olio)is perhaps the oldest Italian pasta sauce, in which garlic and pepper infuse extra virgin olive oil with a surprisingly subtle flavor, and variations of this most simple dressing are still the most widely used throughout Italy. Click here for pasta with garlic & oil recipe... The Gilfeather Turnip Festival: Celebrating the Lowly Tuber in Wardsboro, Vermont New England is full of festivals. They range from A to Z—apples to zucchini, with garlic, maple sugar, pumpkins, strawberries, and just about every other fruit and vegetable in between. But Wardsboro, Vermont’s Gilfeather Turnip Festival is special: it celebrates the tuber that originated in the town (population under 900) and is one of only two vegetables registered as an heirloom variety by the state. Click here for Turnip Festival story... And don't miss the festival's most famous recipes...we've got 'em. Click here for turning turnips into soup, a souffle and a delicious cider scalloped side dish. Enjoy this week's newsletter & thanks for stopping by The Heart of New England!
