How to Grow Microgreens
First, pick your seeds. Radish, mustard, broccoli, and clover all make good microgreens. Get seeds at a garden or hardware store, or online through a purveyor like Seeds of Change (seedsofchange.com). Place the seeds in small, unbleached muslin bags (sold as “sprout bags” at online suppliers), dampen the bags, and allow the seeds to sprout in a dark place. Then hang the bags in a sunny corner of your kitchen. Three to 10 days later (depending on what you planted), reap the rewards.
How to Make Coffee Can Ice Cream
Save a small metal coffee can and a large one, with tight-fitting lids. Place the ice cream ingredients in the small can (see recipe in ‘Make It,’ below), tape the lid shut, and chill. Half an hour before dessert, place the small can in the large can and pack the extra space with ice and a cup of salt. Rock salt, with its large crystals, is best, but coarse table salt can work too. (Salt melts and super-cools the ice, allowing your ice cream to freeze.) Roll the can back and forth for 20 minutes—perfect entertainment for restless children or adult picnic guests. Then open up, and say “aah.” " />
