Whew! Glad it’s a little cooler today. We’ve been enjoying frozen berries during the heat wave. (I don’t like fresh berries because of the gushy texture. But freezing removes the gushiness.) We had little bowls of strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries for dessert one night last week. This weekend, we made yummy blueberry pancakes. The three [...]

Here are a bunch of leftovers from the past couple of weeks. Cheese toast! The Leiden cheese makes good cheese toast or good cheese and crackers for an afternoon snack. The best part about the cheese toast is the cheese is the same shape as a piece of bread.

Getting fennel, leeks, and Savoy cabbage this week sent me running to my copy of How to Cook Everything. Cabbage How to Cook Everything calls Savoy cabbage the best of cabbages. I’ve still got that whole head of Napa cabbage in the fridge. Logic says to use the older cabbage first, but that’s not always [...]

Ever notice the change in color between May and June? Sometime in May, spring ends and summer begins. The change comes in color as much as temperature. The landscape shifts from playful spring green, colorful blossoms, and budding oak trees to the serious-business green of summer. That intense summer green is what my box of [...]

Ah, summer! Fresh tomatoes, sweet corn, and oodles and oodles of crawly things. I’m relatively tolerant of bugs. Most bugs I try to escort outside. Ants I have learned to kill on sight in the house – not because I want to but because I’ve learned the hard way what happens if you don’t kill [...]

Here are some things I’ve learned about goats while visiting Jacque and Nancy Garry at Red Hott Tomatoes in Bowdon, GA. 1. Goats make great stuff. At Red Hott Tomatoes, I got to meet some goats and sample some of their wares. I had goat milk, goat cheese, and goat kefir. I’d had goat milk [...]
