Is there anything better than summer cook- ing? And is there any summer dish better than good old-fashioned hodge podge? A true celebration of the season, the combination of perfectly new carrots, potatoes, beans, and peas in cream sauce is a seemingly simple dish that is just so much tastier than you'd ever imagine. Whenever I serve this traditional Maritime dish to company from "away," it's a big hit.

Lately though, I've heard that my dairy-free friends are feeling left out of the party. While you can easily substitute olive oil and water for the butter and milk called for in tradition- al recipes, here's an easier (and dare I say even tastier) way!

OPENING THE VAULTS: ACADIA UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY: Evangeline: History and Re-Imagining in Art Alexandra Pulchny, Acadia University Art Gallery Collections and Outreach Assistant

The history of the Acadian people in Nova Scotia has been integral to Nova Scotia’s culture and heritage since the 17th century. Grand-Pré, just 5.8km from the Acadia Uni- versity campus, is a central place for Acadian identity. While the history of the site is what sparks most interest, there is also a significant figure who brings many people to Grand- Pré and has encouraged interest in Acadian culture: Evangeline. The heroine however, is a literary creation.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem “Evan- geline: A Tale of Acadie” became world famous after its 1847 publication, and continues to draw many people to Nova Scotia today. Longfellow’s work follows the story of Evan- geline; a young woman who is engaged to her beloved Gabriel Lajeunesse when the Grand Deportation of the Acadians takes place and WHAT’S GROWING AT THE HARRIET IRVING BOTANICAL GARDENS: the couple is separated. Longfellow is said to have been inspired by a story of an Acadian couple who had been separated on their wed- SPRUCE FROM NEAR AND AFAR ding day, which was told to him by a friend at Melanie Priesnitz, Conservation Horticulturist a dinner party.
