Uhhhh, so it snowed 5" or so yesterday. Wasn't it just 60F outside last weekend? So much for getting the planting started anytime soon. Maryland weather, MAKE UP YOUR MIND! Last night, after slogging through ankle-deep snow, I bought some seed packets to keep the hope of spring alive in my little heart. ^_^

I bought 1 packet each of

Farmer's market day! And that, in turn, means it's time for me to tally up what I have in the fridge, what I used up, what I've foolishly bought more of, etc.

SACRIFICED TO THE GOD OF NEGLIGENCE
* Swiss Chard. I was right to be afraid. Now it haunts my dreams.
* Dill. It would've been FINE if the chard hadn't crept out of its bag in the middle of ( Read more... )

This was helpful before, so I'm a-doin' it again. Recipe suggestions welcome!

* Onions. Whatever, they're immortal.
* Dill. Bah, I'll just make more yogurt cheese. Or pickles (which would necessitate buying ( Read more... )

(This is mostly a post for my own organization and thinking process, BUT if anyone out there happens to have any awesome recipes to help me use up the things I've purchased compulsively at the farmer's market, share away!)

Bought today:
* Serious Carrots, 5 (they are so fat -- PRACTICALLY PARSNIPS! Okay, not really. But they're not spindly like ( Read more... )

I've been cooking delicious things lately. Yahoo!

Sooooooo... I've had nightmares for three nights running? Four? More? But I don't what could be causing them! I'm not feeling agitated about anything. Work's been great, no crazy settlements or complicated cases eating away at me. Comfy bed. Plenty of good food. Adequate money in the bank. Lovely friends, family's doing fine, happy living ( Read more... )

Last night, Dan and I had a fun dinner. ^_^ I'm pretty sure I stole the idea from something I read about, but I can't remember what it's called. Sukiyaki? Shabu shabu? Anyway, a few weeks ago, we bought veryvery thinly sliced beef (like we're talkin' 1/16 inch at the thickest) and udon noodles from H-Mart, an awesome Asian supermarket in ( Read more... )
