Today I found myself on essentially a children’s field trip … as an adult. I was oddly comfortable in the whole experience. Last weekend, I stumbled upon a posting for the “First Annual Maple Syrup Festival”. Obviously this piqued my interest… and I bookmarked it rather quickly. The idea of spending a couple hours traipsing…
A couple of months ago I stumbled upon a recipe for strawberry loaf and was immediately intrigued. It just kind of looked “happy”. You could see the bright red strawberries peeking out from the loaf. I saw it and just rather immediately wanted to make it … and then never got around to buying strawberries.…
I honestly felt like I had already written this up to be honest… but it deserves another post. Last weekend amidst prepping for a couple days in LA, I pumped two loaves of homemade bread out of my kitchen. One was more of a wheat loaf, the other just plain ole white. I had wanted…
I’ve documented my love of meatballs several times probably. I realized a few weeks back that I had completely cleaned out to my freezer stash of meatballs. It may seem like a weird dinner, but sometimes just a few meatballs is perfect are a long day with a grumbling stomach at the ready. Instead of…
My mom is always and forever asking me why I don’t write more about Eleanor. I always say that I have to write about other things like recipes and hiking and breakfast sandwiches. Life’s greatest experiences of course… Eleanor doesn’t get more press coverage in part because I’m highly reluctant to the label of “cat…
I’m currently in LA for a few days … and soaking up all that translates to. I went for a run yesterday morning on the beach. I’ve been drinking ice coffee. I talk about the traffic. Those are LA things as far as I’m concerned. But, the best part of going someplace nice and warm……
I’d like to think that I’m not one of those people that you hear complaining about all the winter. Summer is my favorite of course, but winter isn’t bad. It means fleece, fireplaces, endless hot coffee, and being cozy. Also, cross-country skiing. That being said, it does also mean that I’ve worn my Hunter Boots…
I believe sausage and kale is one of the best combinations out there. It’s like peanut butter and chocolate as far as I’m concerned. That being said, the combination is rather definitely indicative of Fall and Winter dining. I’m not sure how you make this combo into a summer meal … so perhaps we should…
I am a bit of an early riser at times and this weekend was one of those times. But it helped me to really maximize my Saturday. We had a bit of snow during the work week and thankfully it stuck around a bit so I could go skiing. The rest of the weekend was…
Last weekend I stood in the Charlestown parking garage with a dilemma. I already had two bags to carry the .80 mile (or 12 minute) walk home… but I also really wanted to bring this heavy cast iron dutch oven as well. And, it was raining. The thing is… I had a lot of plans…
