Eat Your Veggies

Josh sent me this and I have to share it. Manatees need their veggies, too:

I miss my farm share. I really do. It seems odd, I know, but it’s honestly one of the greatest things ever, for several reasons. I like supporting and getting food from local and organic farms. I like being kind of surprised and challenged with the ingredients that come in the box each week. I [...]

creating a kitchen: adventures in moving

Well, it’s done. We closed on our first home and moved in. Seriously, in just two days. Closed on the house on Friday, moved in on Saturday, kitchen up and running on Sunday. That’s how I roll. Anyway, I learned three very important things during this whole process: 1. I have a lot of kitchen [...]

01.02.2010. How awesome is that? Oh, and other thoughts about change, food and this blog.

Oh. My. Bacon. It’s a whole new year. It’s a new decade. How awesome and weird and terrifying is that? And all over the intarwebs, I keep coming across articles and tweets and posts celebrating the fact that you (yes, you), never again have to utter the extra syllables required to say “two thousand and [...]

Can you judge a digital cookbook by its cover?

(Note: This is a long post. However, there’s two recipes attached. Good ones. Promise.) I know, I know. It’s been so long. It’s been like a whole 5 days since my last post. I missed you too. It’s just been one of those weeks where I haven’t had a chance to make anything new, or [...]

Use the eight little bottles of liquid pomegranate to come up with something interesting and delicious. I found this fascinating, as did my friends, many of whom love pomegranate. Myself, [...]

Thai Thai, Kerrytown and Cake Nouveau: Weekend Adventures in Local Food

This is a tale of three adventures. Capers, really. Even shenanigans. Foodie shenanigans. No, that makes it sound more cheeky than it really was. Capers. Definitely a caper. This is a tale of three gastronomical capers. Caper 1 On Friday, group of friends and I traversed across the vast swaths of town to the far [...]

Homegrown Festival!

We had a lovely time wandering the second annual Homegrown Festival…and apparently, so did a lot of people, because it was packed! We didn’t sample much, mostly because of long lines and..well, many many people, but we did try out Project Grow’s tomato tasting booth, and shared a delicious oreo cheesecake from my favorite local [...]

Massive Brownie, courtesy of Afternoon Delight

This brownie must be shared with the world. To look at, I mean, not to eat. No, this sucker is mine. It may take a few days, but I’m gonna get it all in my belly one way or another. I am a tigress and it is my wounded antelope. But no, I just wanted [...]
