Eating from the August Garden

The garden is peaking whether it is your own plot or those at your favorite farmers' market. The rain, the dry spells, the weeds - the plants have persisted and come to fruition.

IN THIS ISSUE, we're celebrating the abundance that defines the August kitchen - fresh, simple, and fabulous flavors from garden vegetables. On the table, you'll find Summer Squash Tartines, a Wilted Cabbage Salad, and an Open-Faced Vegetable Sandwich. Plus, we're sharing some of our favorite tips for freezing the harvest at hand.

A couple of our favorite recent posts on Facebook:

Tip of the Day: Be sure to use a sharp knife when slicing or chopping an onion. A food processor or dull knife used to slice or chop through an onion will rupture more of the onion's delicate cell structure, causing the release of more of its sulfur-containing amino acids. These come in contact with other enzymes in the onion, creating the sulfuric acid that makes you cry and makes the onion taste strong.
