The surest way to find an old homestead’s yard is a line of jonquils or daffodils along the road. After a bleak winter, and the misery of February, their vibrant greens and yellows would inspire hope in anyone tied to the land. Regardless of the dark and cold days behind, light and life are near at hand. I love to see jonquils’ blooms in frost, or poking out of snow, standing as if in defiance. As urban expansion moves ever outwards in NWA, the bride and I love to transplant these little beacons of hope of those eho settled and lived here before us, unearthing them ahead of the bulldozer and adding them to our meek little homestead.

End of The Season Green Tomato Salad

John Ford
Winslow

Slice hard green tomatoes very thin with a mandoline or knife. Place in a bowl, sprinkle with a bit of salt and toss. Drain after five or ten minutes. Add some freshly ground black pepper, a few spoonfuls of drained capers, chopped fresh parsley and a glug of extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice if you like things tart and serve.

Who doesn’t love green tomatoes dusted with cornmeal and fried golden brown? But when you are looking for something light and bright, this salad is quick and delicious!
