It is officially Spring my calendar tells me. Yesterday was lovely, but the night before I stood at the window at 3 am and watched a bit...

L. and I have had our fill of leafy greens. There, I’ve said it. Even as a proponent of all things vegetable, I really want a break from...

Hmmmmm. This week L. is, as always, craving duck and I am, rather unexpectedly, craving steak, so we compromised and are having both....

A cranky little rant this week. Yes, another one. Yuzu's pose above perfectly illustrates how I feel. It was recently pointed out to me...

Saturday afternoon is usually the time when (at some point) I review the contents of the fridge in anticipation of the next day’s weekly...

Despite our best attempts to redress them, both L and my appetites and sleep schedules are still shot so not every dinner got made last...

Despite the deep and abiding love for food that we feel in this household, last week, after weeks of lockdown with even less physical...

Exciting news (at least for me). My CSA box is available again (supply chain willing, long may this last). Kalustyan’s, which those of...

I usually attach a photo of my packed fridge, overflowing hydrator, or glorious produce from my CSA box to illustrate some of the items...

My dad is in town and my sister is having a big birthday - all of this means lots of dinners and celebrations this week and a short menu...

Happy Memorial Day weekend! We have had sunny days so far so L. and I are discussing using the balcony grill for tomorrow's Eye of Round...

This week's menu was very much built around our CSA box which, to my slight dismay, was mostly comprised of perishable greens - collard,...

While I enjoyed last week’s Rainbow Week theme – fun with creativity, a lot of veggie varieties and more vibrant images on the blog...

No, I did not plan a special menu for Cinco de Mayo and yes, this week's menu is me being particularly whimsical. The stores and farm...

Between a couple of weeks ago when I let L. pick the menu, last week's many outings, the joys of menopause, and a recently even more...

First weekly menu since the big changes - please stick with me as I get my bearings. A lot of things that used to make blog writing easy...
