Oh yeah, you read that right. Our farm share started up again–finallly! One of the best days of my year is the day that I can start picking up our produce box from Needle Lane Farms. This year has the added bonus of us being able to pick up our box at the Depot Town [...]

Leek Onion Rings
Looking for something to do with the leeks from your farm share? Already tried the uber-delicious French leek gratin? Looking for something casual to eat alongside that BBQ beef sandwich? How about onion rings? Well I guess that’s leek rings. I tried them tonight (alongside a bbq beef sandwich), adapting a recipe from Alton Brown. [...]
Farm Share Goodies, October 6: Our Man Jack is King of the Pumpkin Patch
I have a pumpkin. I have named him Jack. Jack the Pumpkin King. This has everything to do with my obsession with the Nightmare Before Christmas and absolutely nothing to do with anything normal. Jack and I met this afternoon. I had just hefted the box containing our second-to-last (how sad!) farm share goodies onto [...]
Joie de vivre: bacon, onions, butter, potatoes, goat cheese, mushrooms, cream and wine
Tonight, I made gratin de poireaux and steak aux champignons. First, I love the word “champignon.” It is one of my all time favorite French words, along with “l’ananas,” “raplapla,” and “pamplemousse.” A champignon is a mushroom. The others are pineapple, wiped out, and grapefruit, respectively. I mean, come on. These words are fantastic. And [...]
Farm Share Goodies, Sept 16: I’m gonna make you a steak you can’t refuse
Once upon a midnight dreary Wednesday evening while I pondered weak and weary over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore after walking the dog 2 miles and he was still wanting more…Ah distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December cool Septembr and each separate dying ember stomach growl wrought its [...]
Farm Share Goodies: Sept 4-Purple Mashed Potatoes
I got a fantastic little kick out of my farm share this week: potatoes. Sounds boring, I know, and to the average person, it probably is. After all, I’ve gotten potatoes from the farm share before. But these potatoes were purple. And while I knew they existed, I had never actually had one in my [...]
I now want to dance in the streets
It was another dreary, icky day and normally these days make me want to just curl up on the couch and order in a pizza and call it a day. But no, today I resolved to make meal I’ve been wanting to make for…well, about a week. But still, I had the ingredients, I had [...]
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 [...]
Farm Share Goodies: August 11: In Pictures
If you need any convincing as to why you should join a farm share, check out the goodies we got this week:
Tomato, Tomahto, Totally Tasty
…I like alliteration. Anyway, it was a terribly rainy day today and Josh and I are both sick with the flu. We’ve been on the couch or in the bed pretty almost all day. Not exactly pleasant. But I knew what would perk us up—a giant heaping platter of our favorite home made chicken enchiladas [...]
