Last fall (September or October… I can’t remember) I decided that I wanted to attempt composting.  Compost is the product of decomposing organic material.  When it decomposes, you’re left with highly nutritious food for your garden.  You’re also keeping a whole lotta stuff out of the landfill which is great.  With those two huge benefits [...]

Two years ago this month Mike and I went on our honeymoon to Greece.  We spent some time in Santorini and in Athens, but the highlight of our trip was our time in Crete.  The scenery, the history, the food… oh, the food.  We ate moussaka that was great and of course we ate gyro [...]

Still lettuce… trying to keep my chin up. Things that make me happy about this box: sugarsnap peas; spring onions; tomatoes that I now eat and can put on my abundance of lettuce; zucchini and squash to pickle.  Things are good.  I’m not complaining.

Here is a very quick post about my most recent CSA box.  I’m out of town for work, so my husband graciously picked it up and kindly chopped and cleaned the lettuce.  What a guy, that husband of mine. Spring Mix Salad Spring Onions Strawberries Bunched Spinach Head Lettuce Tomatoes I’m heading home tonight and [...]

Last month I posted a recipe for granola bars. They tasted great!  I tried them right out of the fridge and they were terrific.  Then I took one to work for lunch.  By the time I got to it, it was so soft I couldn’t pick it up.  I ate my granola bar with a [...]

After three years in our wonderful Takoma apartment, my roommate and I will be moving out in just over a month. I’ve experimented a ton in our little kitchen and feel so much more confident and adventurous in my cooking than when we moved in after 4 years of college living. My cooking endeavors are [...]
