An awesome little episode of I’d Rather Eat In with a local guest chef making Thai Tom Yum Soup. I’d never even heard of this soup before. But now I’m drooling a little bit, I’ll be honest.

Lunasa Market Mac & Cheese
I miss my Needle Lane farm share. Shopping for your own vegetables is just not the same. It lacks the surprise and the built-in push to experiment with new things. I suppose I could just go to the grocery store, stand in the produce section, blindfold myself and blindly grope around until I grab something…but [...]
What I’m Eating: Simple Sandwiches
You know, there’s a lot of good cooking that doesn’t go in this blog. Okay, maybe not a lot but a fair amount. It’s not usually fancy, it’s not usually unique, but it’s generally really pretty good. And I don’t want those things to go quietly into the gastronomical night. That, I’m bored and I’m [...]
You look like the milkman…
I’m feeling pretty old-school these days. We bought a house that’s 150 years old. I don’t have a microwave anymore. My grandmother wants to give me a butter churn. And we have a milkman. Yes, that’s right. We have a milkman. His name is Stan. Stan the milkman. I’ve never met Stan but I heart [...]
Farm Share Goodies: Stinging Nettles
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 [...]
Friday Foodie Finds: the Ypsilanti edition
So normally on Fridays, I post links to interesting things I’ve found throughout the week. This Friday, though, I decided to post a slightly different set of links. Inspired by conversation in the comments section of an article by Nicole, of simmer down! fame, about a day spent hanging out and performing in Ann Arbor, [...]
Neehee. Heehee.
Last night, Josh and a couple friends of ours ventured out into the streets of Canton to experiment with something new and fantastic to us: Indian street food. In Canton? Yeah, I know, right? Now, Indian food is not new to us…I looooove Indian food. And I’m blessed that there’s a few good Indian places [...]
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 [...]
