Congrats again, Emily! Wonderful interview -- I loved your memories of foraging for asparagus and black raspberries with your mom and planting vegetables with your grandfather on the family farm. Your son is a real cutie. Hope to try your yummy-sounding burger recipe very soon!

Do we all agree it's axiomatic that I Love Lucy disposal moments always happen on weekends or holidays?

We had had the same thing happen with Thanksgiving potato peelings! I was a little luckier than you, as it happened at my mother-in-law's house, not mine. I love your other stories too, especially the the foraging and your liking what I refer to as "the rat movie."
I keep looking at the gorgeous picture of your shrimp burger and think about how cool it is that you used your aioli both to bind it and as a slather. I haven't made it yet, but it's definitely been on my mind. Big congratulations.

It's tough to learn your lesson about garbage disposals over Thanksgiving entertaining, isn't it? I'll bet neither one of us makes that mistake again! Hope you have the opportunity to try the burger.

Congratulations! My grandparents were farmers in the Midwest, too, and I have lots of food memories from there...especially corn.

Thank you! We hope to take my son back to my parents' farm often so he knows and appreciates that way of living.

Congratulations!!!!!!! I made the burgers this weekend, loved them but it was the veggie mix that proclaimed itself the star. I've made it to go with grilled shrimp, used up the leftovers to top pasta....Well done

I'm happy that you tried the burgers and shared your variations! The vegetable mix and shrimp sound lovely over pasta.

Ahh, thanks. It's important to us that he understands and appreciates where food comes from. We're hoping to make it back to the Midwest late summer; my mom has over 30 tomato plants in her garden this year, most of them heirlooms!
