John Deere Stew

Whenever I see green and yellow together, I think of John Deere tractors, the farm tractors that I grew up with. For my father, there was no other to even consider. It had to be a John Deere. Also, no matter how old these tractors from the 1930s, 1940s, and one 1950 Model-A got, they always had a fresh coat of paint. New paint, John Deere green and yellow, was a priority for Martin Schlife, the proud farmer. In Anchorage, I lived on a busy float place lake, and I marveled daily at the different ways that people paint their personal airplanes. Once on a run around the lake I noticed a white plane trimmed in green and yellow. My thoughts, ‘‘Yes! John Deere green!” I cook with lots of colors. Here are 2 of my favorites, green and yellow.
