Notes from the Heart...
While the gaggle of geese loudly proclaim their
departure for the winter, hummingbirds quietly slip
away. They are all gone from New England now...
I saw the last of them just a few weeks ago when we
visited the White Mountains of New Hampshire...
they were frantically darting for a feeder...no doubt
fueling up for a long trip. This week, writer and
naturalist Linda Schneider answers the burning
question: How to they know when to leave and where to go?

Dear Heart,
A question for Charlie: We enjoyed reading the lamb recipe using a pressure
cooker - do you know of a cook book for a pressure cooker? (Priscilla & Alan)
Note from Charlie: I have two books by Lorna J Sass: Cooking Under Pressure and Great
Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure, both published by Morrow in 1989 and 1994,
respectively. Books this age are frequently available from private sellers through Amazon
The link below is the list of pressure cooker cookbooks from Amazon, and I note that Sass
has a new one listed. New books will probably address the new generation of pressure
cookers, but I have not seen the need to update because all the essentials are in my two
books, and I just use the times, making up my own recipes. See Lorna's Sass' cookbook
links, below. ~ Charlie Burke
Thanks for your letters, folks! Keep 'em coming :) Send your "Dear Heart"

This Week on The Heart of New England:
Travel: Holy Mackerel: It's a Fresh Fish Market in Landlocked Vermont!
When one thinks of freshly caught lobster, scallops, mako shark, mahi mahi and
other fresh salt water fish, landlocked Vermont does not immediately come to
mind. But one visit to Holy Mackerel in Fairlee, Vermont, quickly dispels that
notion. Read on...
Recipe: Herb Infused Roasted Chicken
By Charlie Burke
Many recipes spread herbs and flavorings on the chicken skin, but these do not
penetrate the meat. When herb flavored olive oil is rubbed directly onto the
meat, however, it richly flavors it and forms another layer beneath the skin to
help preserve moisture during high temperature roasting. Read on...
Our Calendar Pick of the Week:
The Great Maine Apple Day
October 20, 2007 ~ 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Common Ground Education Center
Unity, Maine
The Great Maine Apple Day celebrate the
history, flavor and tradition of Maine
apples. Apple experts say that this year
is the best apple crop in the past 30 years...even trees that have not had fruit in
decades have big ripe juicy apples. This bumper-crop year also may offer the
best chance for locating and identifying lost apple varieties. Great Maine Apple
Day attendees can bring fruit from their neighborhoods to be identified by
resident apple experts. See Maine Organic Farmers & Gardeners Association
(MOFGA) list of heritage apple varieties currently sought by apple experts and
enthusiasts. MOFGA also maintains a beautiful and diverse Heritage Orchard
with 25 varieties of apples at its Common Ground Education Center. The
orchard will be open for tours during the Great Maine Apple Day. More
information about MOFGA's Heritage Orchard. Admission is $4.00 for the
general public, and $2.00 for members of MOFGA or the Maine Pomological
Society. For more information, visit www.mofga.org or call 207-568-4142. The
event is sponsored by Sponsored by MOFGA, Fedco, and the University of
Maine Cooperative Extension.
