So this lemon walks into a bar. Bartender looks him over, thinks about it, says, “You know, I like you. You got a lot of a peel.” What do you call a benefit concert for sick lemons? Lemon aid. The local bar was so sure that its bartender was the strongest man around that they [...]

Chili and Cornbread are the new Hall and Oates
Dear Chili, hey. how ya doin? It’s been a long time. In fact, I think the last time we saw each other was the Chili Cookoff at work in March. That was a great time, wasn’t it? Remember I had you slowcooking in a crockpot in a corner of the office all morning, filing the [...]
The Local Table
For those of you in the Ann Arbor-ish area, I found this delightful bit of information on the People’s Food Co-op Facebook Feed: a great new program called the Local Table, brought to you by the Matthei Botanical Gardens The Local Table, a program of classes, workshops, field trips, and events beginning in Fall 2009.

Petits Pains au Chocolat
Little chocolate breads. How can you not love everything about that fragmented sentence? I mean, really.

Josh liked them, and now [...]

Josh and I are trying a new thing this month: not spending half our take home pay in food costs. Radical, I know. Especially when there’s only two of us. Well, and Winston, but he doesn’t get people food, much to his dismay. But between eating out fairly often (especially lunches during the work week, [...]
Salsa + Spaghetti = Salsagetti
Inspired by reading over Noelle’s entry about her delicious-looking salsa, I decided tonight to utilize the tomato-y bounty given forth to me by Josh’s beautiful heirloom variety tomato plants growing out on our deck. But instead of a salsa, a fresh tomato sauce that I could mix in with the whole wheat linguine I got [...]
Little pig, little pig, let me come…to dinner
Do you know those nights where you’re not really sure what to make for dinner, so you just sort of throw together things you find in your fridge and cupboards? That’s pretty much where this meal came from. Next time I’ll make up a better story about how it was actually delivered to me on [...]
