Ramps, Prosciutto, and Cave Aged Gruyere

Sunday, May 16, 2010

Finally! We moved, but it’s not all smooth sailing yet. We’re living out of boxes and we don’t have a kitchen yet. While our perfect kitchen is being built (which we will be talking about soon), I’m going to have to get crafty. I do have many plug-in appliances (rice cooker, toaster oven, panini press, […]

Casa Carol

Friday, May 14, 2010

Now that you know it was my birthday, expect to hear more about the celebrating. After all, birthdays are all about more eating, as if I could eat any more than usual. Lunch at Eleven Madison Park was an excellent way to kick things off. I was only worried that I wouldn’t be hungry by […]

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Funny how my birthday is on May 11th (I’m 30!) and I ended up at

Do you remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? To be honest, I didn’t get into them. Was it a boy thing?

8 Mother’s Day Recipes

Thursday, May 6, 2010

I really love making Mother’s Day meals (see last year’s), and I’m scrambling to decide what to do this year. We don’t have a fully functioning kitchen right now so it’s going to be tough. For my mom, Lon’s mom, and probably most mom’s, it’s really enough to just see the effort. It’s a day […]

Holton Farms, a New and Improved CSA + Discount!

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Lon and I love the concept of a CSA, community supported agriculture. I want to have a relationship with my farmer, where I show loyalty to them and they take special care to ensure that I get fresh and delicious food. But, call me a control freak, I’ve never been able to get over the […]
