He Cooks! – Scrambled Egg Edition

We haven’t had an installment of “He Cooks” for quite a while. I keep waiting for the Fab Hub to whip up his Oregano Teriyaki Chicken, but he never steps up to the plate to offer. Hmm. Guess we’ll just have to wait on that one. In the meantime, it is worth mentioning that the…

I am late to Mama Kat’s Thursday link-up party, but this week’s writing prompts uh, prompted me to finally post about my current favorite book. For most of the summer, I have been digging into the pages of Tamar Adler’s An Everlasting Meal. I thought that I would wait to post here until I had read every…

Pinterest Meets the CSA Box

This week’s CSA box had some lovely prizes…more red leaf lettuce (absolutely beautiful) and a big bag of mesculin salad mix, three small heads of broccoli, a bunch of Swiss chard, two bunches of kale, three kohlrabi, a small bunch of beets (disappointing – was so hoping for better in this department), garlic scapes, and…

CSA Pickup Day

Today we drive to “the farm” to pick up our weekly CSA share. It’s a real farm – there’s really no reason for the quotes other than the fact that we toss around the term as though we’re real farmers or something. We’re not. But we are definitely enjoying the bounty that comes from our…
