Wanted to note here that we inflated our bike tires (after much effort and buying a new pump) and set out to do what we have always wanted to do since moving in to our current home: bike to and from the wine shop to pick up our wine and have a nice dinner ( Read more... )

Ok - so I'm pretty sure I planted two of my tomatoes and my eggplant too early. My rhubarb may be in the ground too early too - it doesn't look happy - we'll see how all these guys are doing in a week. If they recover from the chill - great! If not - they get yanked and new ones get tried...though I may try longer to keep the rhubarb going ( Read more... )

It was nice. My good friend onsafari was there too and we went out for dinner after to chat and to celebrate her promotion at work. It's not a total celebration b/c ( Read more... )

I read books about food, mostly. It just happens to be something I'm rather interested in. So over a year ago now (I think) it was suggested by a dear friend that I should read "animal, vegetable, miracle" I'm finally getting around to it ( Read more... )

We get a produce box. Sometimes that presents...challenges. One challenge is how two people can possibly eat all the leafy salad greens they give us. Another is what to do with artichokes. I am not from an artichoke eating family. In fact, in speaking to my mother this evening it was revealed that she has never prepared artichokes from whole and in ( Read more... )
