Month: June 2007

I tried really hard to come up with a last minute “wow” recipe to leave you with. I really did try. Unfortunately, when you plan at almost the last minute to go camping for a week, real cooking tends to take an aside from planning and packing. We’re in the […]

I had planned on posting about last night’s chicken dinner. It was an herbed lemon chicken cooked in the crock pot. And I should have known better. When I put it all in the pot, it smelled fantastic, and it smelled fantastic while cooking- bright and lemony and herby. I […]

One of the hazards of blogging is that a recipe that you’ve tried and enjoyed often gets shelved and forgotten in favor of something new. Since I’m always looking for something new to blog about, a recipe that I’ve talked about before obviously isn’t new. But I thought that today […]

And no, B will not be for beets. One of the few veggies that I cannot get my kids to taste- regardless how it’s prepared or whether or not we’ve grown it. Oddly enough, it used to be one of Abigail’s favorites when she was an infant. I would make […]

Trust me on this… get the ingredients you need to make this fantastic cilantro-lime butter and smear it on freshly roasted corn on the cob. A big thank you to applecrisp on the CLBB for sharing. Yum! We roasted our corn on the grill, and I left the cayenne out […]

Thank you everyone for the well wishes yesterday. I was a bit nervous to say the least. Yesterday went okay, essentially we did a Q&A session to introduce me to the newspaper readers and to just let them know that from time to time I’ll be popping in with a […]

Just a little bit. 🙂 I have to apologize because my posts over the last week or so have been pretty lame. Sorry, I’ve been a bit distracted this week. But there is a reason for my distractedness, and before I get to that reason, I have a sincere promise […]

This has been a bit of a quest! A few months back we were given some cudighi. I tucked it in the freezer and didn’t really think about it again until recently. I just didn’t know what to do with it, and to add to not knowing what cudighi tastes […]

To Build A Better Burger? I keep thinking I do… with so many variations on a hamburger, how do you decide what makes the best burger? Here is my entry from last year… not good enough to be a winner, but obviously good enough to put up on their site. […]

The other day as we were looking at the garden, Andy pointed to a flowering stalk and asked what it was. Hmm. That looks like one of my watermelon radishes underneath, but at last check, they weren’t radishes yet. So we pulled the flowering one up, and sure enough, no […]

We have 1 bunch of small beets, 1 bunch of spring onions, 2 pounds of sugar snap peas, one potted sunflower, 2 yellow tomatoes, a handful of large cherry tomatoes, 1 pound new red potatoes, and 1/2 pound of oyster mushrooms. Not pictured are the Amish Cinnamon Rolls and the […]
