The Ridge Spring

Mr and Mrs. George Raborn came with 10 half bushels of peas at about
7:00 and some of their honey. By 9:00 AM
they were packing up. Bobby and Loris
had some Endless Summer and red Knock out roses for sale. Of course I had my peanuts and sole out with
the help of my grandson Max. Sherald
Rodgers was there with his produce with Leonard Bell and his wagon of veggies,
Jeanette Carr with her large trailer of fresh produce, Samantha McClure who
with her home-made goodies (She sold out), Gerald Watson with Titan Farm
Peaches and he sold out too. Free Stone
peaches are in!!!!!! Lee Ann Perez came
about 10:30 with her fresh milk, eggs, and more homemade items. Denise Boatwright will be back this coming
Saturday and hopefully the Raborns with their peas. We all will look forward to seeing you there.

Lee Ann Perez-
One Ash Farm and Dairy: This week I thought I would share a trick that we use to preserve
our abundance of Eggplant. First, we pick them young so they are
tender and firm. Wash and peel your eggplant. Slice into rounds that
are about 1/4 inch thick. Dip into beaten egg, then into breadcrumbs (I use
those pre-made kind that are Italian seasoned). Lay the coated slices in
a single layer on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer.
In a few hours take them out and place in one- meal batches in freezer bags.
When you are ready to eat them, simply take out of the freezer, fry up in some
hot oil, and enjoy!
If
you like to talk about recipes and tips like this, come visit me at the Ridge
Spring Farmers Market! I am there every Saturday from 10:00- about noon. I will always
have a supply of our apothecary line-including homemade soaps (lye and
regular), herbal salves and other goodies; fresh veggies and pastured eggs when
available; fresh baked
goods; and of course our Grade A Raw
Milk! If
you want to make sure I have milk (or anything else) for you, please pre-order by
calling me by Friday noon at (803) 649-9172, or send us a
message through the website at www.OneAshFarmAndDairy.com. Thanks and
hope to see you soon!

“Go Set a Watchman” from David Marshall James: Harper Lee once commented that
she would like to be thought of as the Jane Austen of south Alabama. After
reading her first novel, a precursor to “To Kill a Mockingbird,” I would lift
the laurels of Austenhood upon her brow, because she proves her great authorial
insight into characters’ human nature as well as her great mastery of
characters’ conversations and debates.
In “GSAW,” Jean Louise (aka Scout) Finch
channels Elizabeth Bennett of “Pride and Prejudice.” Furthermore, Austen learned the efficacy of
placing her narratives within time-locked bubbles, because of her novels’
delayed publications, which rendered their topicality out-of-date. “TKAM” succeeds in large part because it is
encased in a 30-year-old bubble from the time of its first publication. Nevertheless, it remained very much of the
present—and the future.
“GSAW” now exists in a 60-year-old
bubble, set during the mid 1950s, when it was composed. It, too, remains very much of the present and
the future. The reader can see why that
ringtailed fox (Scout Finch terminology), Miss Lee, wanted to see it
published. What probably would have
turned her into a pariah in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama (fictionalized
as Maycomb, AL, in both novels), had it been published in its own time now
assumes its own fascinating timelessness.
The debates of “GSAW” continue to rage, and the universality of an adult
learning to accept the godlike father figure of her youth as a down-to-earth
human adds another layer of literary quality to the novel.
The story transpires over a long
weekend. Jean Louise, 26, presently of
New York City, is re-visiting Maycomb.
Will she marry her hometown beau—Maycomb County “white trash” made
good—Henry Clinton, whom Atticus has nurtured and mentored into a fellow
attorney, practicing in his office?
However, everyone in Maycomb has taken
sides over the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision against segregation. Scout’s childhood world has been jerked out
from under her. She reminisces about that world,
about her now-deceased brother, Jem; about Henry Clinton
as a teenager; about her budding womanhood. Next-door summertime neighbor Dill Harris
(based on a youthful Truman Capote) and Jem feature in a beautifully depicted
flashback laden with heart and humor.
You can almost hear Miss Lee’s editor
comment on this prelude to “TKAM”:
“Those children steal the show.
So, put them at the center of the book.
Likewise, that old case that Atticus took, with the black man on trial
for rape, that is only mentioned in passing.
And those mockingbirds that Jean Louise hears at dawn of the day after
her painful revelation—let’s think about those, too.”
