Bookshelf: Eating Out (and In)

The Quarter-Acre Farm: How I Kept the Patio, Lost the
Lawn, and Fed My Family for a Year,
by Spring Warren (Seal Press)

Deciding to grow 75% of her family's food in
her not-so-spacious suburban backyard turned urban farm, Warren, the author of Turpentine, takes us on the journey with a humorous look at
bugs, harvests, failures and triumphs. Most interesting are down home how-to’s
for a Green Chile Chili or Escargot in Two Colors.
