This was one of those weeks, ya’ll. A busy, tired week. I was out one night, Mike was out another night. Not how I wanted to kick off my second CSA season. I had high hopes for the ingredients in my box this week! I did use them all, but I didn’t have the time [...]

In February I was home for about 4 weeks in between jobs. Well, I was home for 2 weeks for my dog’s surgery, 1 week for double-blizzard-fun-time, and 1 week of just sitting around in between jobs. During those 4 weeks I decided to learn how to can. I bought a big pot with a [...]

She even coaxed me into doing the Running Man because Hannah Montana (or Miley Cyrus? [...]

A few months ago I decided to almost entirely eliminate processed foods from my kitchen. (Note: I did not say restaurants. Just to be clear.) I used to bring little bags of chips for lunch and I always ALWAYS had some sort of yummy chocolate treat that was to be enjoyed around 3:00. When I [...]

Last Sunday morning before braving the crowds at the booming Takoma Farmers Market, my roommate and I tried out the new Capital City Cheesecake right up the block on Carroll Ave. While they don’t give it away on their website, the newly opened bakery goes beyond cheesecake with sandwiches, salads, and in-house freshly made bagels.

Tomatoes. I still cringe when I say the word. My whole life I have been repulsed by their flavor. No, it isn’t the texture. Yes, I like ketchup. Don’t ask me either of those questions. It is the flavor of raw tomatoes that has grossed me out for 30 years. However, this summer, the Summer [...]
