I’m back!
I’m so sorry, my faithful readers, about the long hiatus. These past two weekends I’ve been out of town and unable to visit the farmers’ market. Fortunately I’m back now and Cam visited the farmers’ market for me this weekend so I even have fresh produce to work with this week. New recipes will be [...]

An Article by Michael Pollan, writer of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, was in the New York Times today. It’s all about the Farm Bill and how that bill causes the unhealthiest (calorie full but nutrition deprived) foods to be the least expensive ones at the grocery store. As he points out, it’s time to get voting [...]

As I mentioned briefly in an earlier post I’m going to be traveling both this weekend and next. This weekend to see a wedding in Tampa (best wishes Kate and Khan!) and next weekend for an engagement party in Ohio (congratulations Steve and Jillian!). This means that I won’t be able to visit the farmers’ [...]

With the Caprese most people liked the mellow pinot grigio from Biltmore Estate. Nobody could agree on what wine went with the Springtime Salad. The salad did have a vinaigrette, which made it very hard to pair with a wine. If I had to pick a wine to go with the salad it would probably [...]

Did I tell you that Nick’s car is in the shop? Because it is, and it’s making life difficult. Nick commutes to Charlotte every day for work. It’s an hour and a half drive each way (when traffic is on your side) and a giant pain in the ass at the best of times. But [...]

Seasonal cooking, how I love you, let me count the ways: 1) My body and mind crave seasonal cooking. When it’s 95 degrees out and the sun is shining in July I do not want an oven turned on within 20 miles of me. I want to eat raw foods and, unlike the potatoes and [...]

I have had a nasty cold all weekend and wanted to do nothing but hide under the blankets until I felt better. However, life never works that way. On Saturday morning, despite the cold and damp and my dripping nose, I dragged myself out of bed and to the farmers’ market. Why? Because I knew [...]

On Wednesday evening I made Goat Cheese and Asparagus Omelets for dinner. I had never made an omelet before, so I was a little nervous, but they turned out fine. Nick folds his in three like a letter and it is a mystery to me how he does it. He won’t show me because he [...]

Since we are on the topic of eggs this week I thought I would talk a little bit about where eggs come from and why “voting with your money” so important when it comes to eggs. Don’t worry, I’m not going to go PETA on your ass and tell you horror stories about confinement or [...]

Although hard boiled eggs are probably the simplest of all foods to make you’ll find that every recipe book has a different method for preparing them. Yesterday I made Hard Boiled Eggs using three methods to determine which one I liked the best. The first method was to place the eggs in a pan of [...]
