Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Friday began just as it did last year. With the highly anticipated arrival of Jose Andres to his cooking demonstration at 10am. We just had a few bites of fruit for breakfast knowing we would be eating for hours. This may have been a slight mistake since the first thing Jose served was a drink….
My dad brought me tomatoes. He seriously grows the sweetest tomatoes I have ever had. When summer starts I begin dreaming of the tomatoes and waiting for them to ripen. I remember how sweet they are and then I get one and I taste it and it’s even sweeter. It’s like my brain can’t contain…
This week’s box from my CSA is full of so many of my favorite things. Romaine lettuce, Kale, Green Onions, Fennel, Strawberries, Potatoes, Cucumbers. They have an “exchange” box at the pick-up site and I swapped my carrots out for a 2nd head of romaine. I still have a zillion carrots from previous weeks, we…
I thought the last dinner was good. This one was better. Not that there was anything missing from the first one, I just felt that this one stepped it up. We went with 4 friends and they hired a driver to take us to and from the dinner so much more wine was consumed than…
Yesterday we pulled up this crazy carrot pairing. Today we found two more. What is going on in my garden? I had no idea!!
I had no idea what carrots got up to when they thought no one was looking!
The spring hasn’t been much of a spring. Cold, wet, wintery days with a few days of sun scattered in there. We’ve been less than thrilled with it but most of my plants have been obviously happy with the rain. Now that they are huge and leafy, I hope it warms up so everything can…
I was very excited for my first Outstanding in the Field dinner. I tried to get tickets last year and it sold out too quickly, I missed out. This year I booked 3 events to make up for it! I wish I could do more but our calendar is not cooperating with that idea. So,…
Main Street Garden & Cafe 3101 N. Main St. Soquel, Ca. 95073 831-477-9265 We were looking for a place for our anniversary dinner. We tried Cellar Door first and they were booked (yes, we were calling at 5:15pm for a 6-ish reso!). I started poking around some blogs trying to decide where to go. I…
The garden is in full force. So much so that I can’t keep up with it and my CSA boxes! The thing about having a CSA and a garden is that things, you know, grow at the same time! Kale anyone? Spinach, thyme and marjoram galore! The tallest lettuce ever: The hops have loved the…
Whatever shall I make this week!?!? So many yummy choices! Can’t wait to get cookin’: Sprouts ‘salad’ mix – sunflower, pea, buckwheat, broccoli and radish Fuji apples Artichokes Red beets Cabbage Carrots Rainbow chard Collard “rapini” Green garlic Red Russian kale Leeks French breakfast radishes Rutabagas Strawberries
Sorry to my Midwest peeps out there but it’s a gorgeous day. It’s been a gorgeous week. My lettuce is leafing, my kale is getting bigger, my parsley is parsleying. We’re supposed to get more rain next week but it’s ok by me as long as we keep getting these wonderful spring-like breaks!
I just finished reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Lifeby Barbara Kingsolver. I was completely inspired. So much so that I brought home a bag of bell peppers from my dads house. I hate bell peppers just about as much, if not more, than cheese. (If you’re curious, a list of everything I…
This is one of those “what’s in the fridge/garden” meals. 1/4 c. small dice pancetta1/2 a red onion, diced2 small leeks, diced1 small fennel bulb, diced Caramelize the heck out of all that. If you have a good range hood/fan and the nerve, deglaze with vodka. I tried it, it flamed up in an awesome,…
