RECIPE OF THE MONTH FROM GAIL BLAKELY

JENNY’S SALMON BITES OVER 15 MINUTE LO MEIN

This is wonderful summer dish, as it can be served right after cooking, or warm, or even room temperature. It comes together very quickly: when you are making the lo mein, use some ginger paste and minced garlic from tubes (available in the produce section of the supermarket), if you so desire.

The vegetables in the lo mein can be changed according to what you have: grated carrots, sliced bell peppers, even thinly sliced celery—all these can be sautéed in the wok with the scallions. You can omit the broccoli and spinach if you want, but I think this is a good way to “eat the rainbow”. The salmon marinade can also be used with scallops and/or shrimp—then you have Seafood Lo Mein!

Jenny Shea Rawn has newly released cookbook. Coastal Kitchen is a fabulous book, and Jenny came to Highfield to cook from it, on the back porch, with me in June. On August 2, this summer, she will be at Highfield again, this time for a book-signing. Come meet Jenny, get your own copy—and a few more, for

holiday gifts, perhaps?

GARDEN TIP FROM GEORGE CHAPMAN

TIME FOR GARDEN EDITING!

With the onset of summer it is amazing how fast our garden chores turn from planting, cajoling and fretting about our spring plantings to the need for summer maintenance. This summertime gardening I call garden editing, removing anything that doesn’t add to the picture.

Deadheading rose bushes and perennials, removing those hosta leaves damaged by snails and slugs, pulling the yellowed daylily foliage, garden editing will be an unceasing chore from now through fall. Like many things in life, it is the little things that count.
