csa share 5/5/10

Big news on the CSA front! We now pick up on Wednesdays instead of Tuesdays and five miles closer to where we live. Pretty exciting, huh? Ok, not really. But what is exciting is the transition from winter to spring produce. Here’s what we got this week, in alphabetical order just for fun (yes, I […]

dear intertubes

Ugh, apologies for the dearth of posts. I have a few in the works but the gods of uploading photos are currently against me. While I gnash my teeth and pray to Flickr, here is some stuff to read until I get it figured out. — What’s Wrong With This Chart? An interesting look at […]

foodie book club: a homemade life

Sadly, I did not read this month’s selection for The Kitchen Reader because of a library snafu. Next month’s is on its way to my local branch. This month’s selection for the Foodie Book Club was A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table by Molly Wizenberg, author of this book, writer of […]

baked vegetarian eggrolls

Last week I read a post over at TheKitchn about looking for recipe inspiration in restaurant menus. While I have definitely applied new flavors from out and about in my home cooking, I haven’t been eating out that much since we moved. So I did a little research. Our CSA not only grows produce for […]

food finale: jamie oliver's food revolution

Six weeks and many close-ups later, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution aired its last episode last night (or see the embedded video at the end of this post.) Did you watch the show? The last episode marks the end of three months in Huntington, West Virginia. Jamie has rolled out the school lunch program to about […]

vegetarian enchiladas

We didn’t eat much Mexican food growing up other than Midwesternized tacos from time to time, so my exposure is fairly limited. In contrast, my husband used to vacation in Mexico with family and friends and considers Mexican cuisine the most important staple of his diet after ketchup. I’m a fan as well, but as […]

earth day 2010

Today marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. (Also, happy birthday wishes to Tom and Luke, among others!) Yep, a napping pile of baby ducklings. I am totally going there. Things I think are good about Earth Day: increased awareness about environmental issues, events organized around river clean ups and such. Things I think are […]

baked tofu with broccoli

It’s been a while since I actually posted food. We ate out a lot while Dad was here (it just gave me brilliant ideas for things to make at home, and homesickness for Jasmine Deli in Minneapolis) and there have been a lot of repeats, too. Luckily I cooked tonight! Not only did we get […]

csa share 4/20/10

I’m moving a little slowly today. Last night my friend and I went to an hour-long Bollywood dance class not far from her house. In that hour we did about 10 minutes of warm up followed by 45 minutes or so learning a piece of Indian dance. Those 45 minutes got us about 30 seconds […]

the revolution will be televised

After some nice feedback after I wrote about the first few episodes, I’m back with some thoughts on the fourth and fifth episodes of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. Again, embedded episodes are at the end of the post. School lunches are getting lots of attention outside of this show. If you have a few minutes, […]
