Beets with red onion and chives
This is one of our favorites: beet salad with red onions. And in the summer, we like to add tomatoes. Toss with olive oil, red wine vinegar, chives. Have you noticed, the chives are almost ready to bloom. The lavender-colored flowers make a great addition to salads as well. The reason this salad looks so good is my wife: she julienned everything. Me, I wouldn’t have been nearly as careful. That’s why she gets the big bucks as a catering chef.
We are engaging the concerns of a hungry planet--slowly--right here in our kitchen garden in the District of Columbia, about a mile from the White House.
What's in your turkey? We killed and butchered more than 80 birds on the farm of Mike and Michelle Klein in Prince George's County. Thankfully, Michelle did the gutting. Unfortunately, Mike bought his turkey chicks earlier than usual and they did not stop growing. Our prize for helping was a carcass that weighed nearly 40 pounds. It barely fit in the oven. Here, Mike is subjecting a slaughtered bird to the "magic fingers," a machine with a nubby, rotating barrel that removes most of the feathers.
