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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
Potato, Squash and Arugula Quesadillas: the non-recipe recipe
We got a good box from the farm share this week—purple potatoes, squash, peppers, a giant head of celery and even a giant one and a half pound tomato that I have fondly named Big Al (after my svelte but otherwise impressive grandfather): To use up some of the potatoes and squash, as well as [...]
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 [...]
Don't Forget! Homegrown Festival this weekend

Detroit Restaurant Week
Josh and I, fresh from our latest adventure at Eastern Market, were ruminating (I like that word) this afternoon on how we really need to spend more time in Detroit, because there’s so much there that we like and want to do, but we don’t often make the drive over there. For any of you [...]
Crêpes! And other goodies from Detroit's Eastern Market
Once again, we found ourselves heading to Detroit’s Eastern Market this morning, sort of on a last minute whim, and a bit later than we normally go. It was a beautiful morning and just what I needed to start the weekend off right. Don’t get me wrong, I love the market here in Ann Arbor, [...]
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 [...]
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.
