Here’s one of our favorite lunches. It’s quick, easy, and inexpensive, and we’re always surprised at how satisfying it is.

10/28 – Toto, I don’t think it’s summer anymore.

Definitely an all fall haul this week. Note the absence of any summer stragglers. (And how about the absence of ugly wallpaper? We’re painting our kitchen this week… or this month… definitely this year… I think.)
Squash and Pumpkin keep it real

Not giving in and going out

Twice this week (and it’s only Wednesday) I’ve thought, “I don’t have the time or energy to stop and make something.”
But I hung in there, went to the kitchen, and whipped up stuff. And it was so much better.
I have goat cheese!

Monday I went to visit Nancy and Jacque of Red Hott Tomatoes. (Yep, I needed goat cheese bad enough to drive to Bowdon.) Even more fun, Chris came with me.
We had a swell time hanging with the dairy goats and a grey cat with too much personality. And meeting new chickens and rabbits. And being bowled over by the amount of work that goes into being a farmer.
Speaking of new rabbits, check out this little girl.
10/18 Back to my day job

I have been cooking this week – not just playing with Squash and Pumpkin.
Tea thyme!
Pennsylvania Dutch Tea Thyme is a wonderful surprise! It tastes almost like black tea – maybe even better. (Now can we grow it with a little caffeine?) I had a cup with a few hyssop flowers one afternoon and really enjoyed it.
Onion soup
We had onion soup the other day with CSA onions and garlic but no good beef stock – only boullion. Some day, I’ll be mature enough to make real stock like this recipe calls for.
The recipe is a good weekend one. While it takes some time in the kitchen, you don’t have to watch it too closely. And any recipe that starts with caramelizing onions for 30 minutes is going to be good. That’s something you can’t rush and is totally worth it. Smells great, too.
The real reason I made the soup was to complement the beer bread. (more…)
Even more fun with Squash and Pumpkin

After yesterday’s CSA report, Squash and Pumpkin wanted to have some more fun.
