For example, I buy the one-pound bag of baby carrots, not the four little individual bags banded together with a giant sticker, cute as they are. And I try to drink locally brewed beer, and only buy donuts that come in recyclable paper boxes.Knoxville, TNRose KennedyBacksliding With the BestMetroPulsebacksliding-besthttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/oct/08/pecan-do/?partner=RSSkennedyr@metropulse.com (Rose Kennedy)Wed, 08 Oct 2008 22:00:00 -0000http://metropulse.com/news/2008/oct/08/pecan-do/?partner=RSSknoxville-culture/all-foods-considered138212008-10-08T18:00:002008-10-08T18:00:00Copyright MetroPulse, 2008I thought the first one was a piece of gravel—though it was hitting the top of my tiny Toyota.

Our pickles were whole cucumbers “hot packed” in a suspiciously frog-green vinegar, cheap and plentiful in giant Heinz jars. We ate them whole, sliced, on cheese sandwiches, minced for homemade Thousand Island dressing (along with ketchup, cottage cheese, and Miracle Whip) over iceberg lettuce wedges.Knoxville, TNAlternatively PickledMetroPulsealternatively-pickledhttp://metropulse.com/news/2008/aug/20/you-bring-salad/?partner=RSSAll Foods Considered by Rose Kennedy: Last August, serendipity. I needed a dish at 7 a.m. sharp for the Teacher Appreciation Breakfast, and on a mad dash to the Kroger, not only were Simply Potatoes hash browns on sale, they had a recipe for breakfast casserole right on the label. I tweaked it, cutting the sausage, adding thyme, and had a modest hit—by which I mean I heard later both casseroles had been eaten. ]]>kennedyr@metropulse.com (Rose Kennedy)Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:00:00 -0000http://metropulse.com/news/2008/aug/20/you-bring-salad/?partner=RSSknoxville-culture/all-foods-considered136562008-08-20T18:00:002008-08-20T18:00:00Copyright MetroPulse, 2008<strong>All Foods Considered by Rose Kennedy:</strong> Last August, serendipity.

I remember they were good little blueberries, though the proprietress told me they would get a little sweeter and plumper as the season wore into mid-August. I remember only my older daughter was proficient at picking, something to do with being left-handed, I thought. While the rest of us ate one, picked one, paused in the shade, she would denude half a bush. I remember expecting strawberry-size plants and getting full-grown bushes a little taller than I am. ]]>kennedyr@metropulse.com (Rose Kennedy)Wed, 06 Aug 2008 22:00:00 -0000http://metropulse.com/news/2008/aug/06/its-all-flip/?partner=RSSknoxville-culture/all-foods-considered135932008-08-06T18:00:002008-08-06T18:00:00Copyright MetroPulse, 2008<strong>All Foods Considered by Rose Kennedy:</strong> I did, after I took three young teens to a pick-your-own blueberry farm on the Fourth of July about four years ago.
