He Cooks! – Scrambled Egg Edition

We haven’t had an installment of “He Cooks” for quite a while. I keep waiting for the Fab Hub to whip up his Oregano Teriyaki Chicken, but he never steps up to the plate to offer. Hmm. Guess we’ll just have to wait on that one. In the meantime, it is worth mentioning that the…

What I’m Reading – An Everlasting Meal

I am late to Mama Kat’s Thursday link-up party, but this week’s writing prompts uh, prompted me to finally post about my current favorite book. For most of the summer, I have been digging into the pages of Tamar Adler’s An Everlasting Meal. I thought that I would wait to post here until I had read every…

CSA Pickup Day Pasta

I’ll bet you’re thinking that this pasta is going to have tons of farm-fresh veggies in it. Nope. Actually, none. But we’ll get to that in a minute. Pickup has been a lot of fun. We are seeing a much wider variety of veggies in our CSA delivery lately. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen cabbages,…

Hidden Talents

Sometimes, people give gifts to other people that may not necessarily be the best choice for the recipient.

On Easter Sunday, my aunt brought Kidzilla a cute little fabric Easter basket that contained two tiny…

Soup of the Week – First Summer Edition

I know what you’re thinking. Who makes soup in the summer? Aside from the rather obvious choice of gazpacho, does anyone really think soup in the summer? Apparently, I do. I wasn’t actually thinking soup when I found this one. I was thinking “what the heck am I going to do with all of this…

Still Here

Somehow, the last week has completely slipped away from me… I think we have just been caught up in enjoying the summer break in various ways. I have a handful of half-written posts detailing some of our excursions and activities and I hope to get them posted for you very soon. In the meantime, the…

Growing Up

I looked around the room at the other Mommies and Daddies. Mostly, it was Mommies. Younger, older, shorter, taller, heavier, thinner, dressed for work, dressed in what had to be pajamas…they were all the same. One by one, they dropped off children for the first day of Vacation Bible School. Some came in with the children,…

It’s Not Easy Having Greens – CSA Update

We picked up our fifth week of CSA veggies today – not sure how it’s possible that we’ve been doing this for over a month already! I’d be lying if I said the amount of greens and lettuce was totally manageable…the early weeks of the CSA are clearly heavy on greens and not a whole…
