So there’s a chance that I might be an official Seattleite. It hit me 4 miles in, as I was running down the street with 2 fists full of snow peas. Pull up a chair, this is a good one. I’ve been on the waiting list for a P-Patch garden since movin (read full article)

I suppose to classify this as a “farmers” market find is a little bit of a white lie, unless of course you live in Central Mexico. Then you will be able to find these gems at your local farmers market. For the rest of us, it’s off to Whole Food (read full article)

Maybe it’s my brief (albeit lackluster) career as a graphic designer, but I am completely enamored by color. Given that, it’s no surprise Seattle has been a good fit for me – it’s a Technicolor city. Even in the dead of winter, everything is (read full article)
Oy. I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since my last post! Sorry kids, and thanks for your diligence in checking in on me. It’s been a whirlwind since the New Year – moving to a different neighborhood, setting up a new house (and kitche (read full article)
A few years ago one of my childhood-memory-bubbles was burst. We grabbed autumn by the horns and went to one of those apple orchard/fall festival farm/corn maze/petting zoo/pumpkin patch bonanzas that are all the rage these days. Oh it was fun; we dr (read full article)
You will probably never believe this, but South Jersey wasn’t exactly a mecca of international cuisine in the 80’s. I know, hard to believe, but my idea of chinese was the sweet and sour dipping sauce for your McNuggets. yeesh. But sometime when (read full article)
SM is a good Irish boy and likes his potatoes. Any way you slice or dice them, he will clean his plate. I think I could make just about any protein and stick it next to a big pile of potatoes and he would be one happy kid. As much of a red flag as I& (read full article)
I *love* Christmas stockings and the little goodies that are inside. We always opened them up first thing in the morning, and among the toothpaste and fruit (we always had an orange stuck in the very bottom of the toe), was always one or two prize po (read full article)
Are you panicking? I am. Sure, the tree is trimmed, decorations out, cards in the mail. BUT. I have barely put a dent in my shopping list!! I do this every single year, even though I swear that this year will be different. Oh well. I get such a kick (read full article)
I missed the bus last night. Do those 5 words make you sweat like they do for me? I scampered up to the bus stop just as the one I had intended to catch pulled away. Lucky for me, there was another one a few minutes later. But still, as I watched the (read full article)
I’m a closet baker. I love to do it, but you’d probably never know because our house is rarely filled with the sweet, scrumptious aroma of some finger-licking sweet treat rising away in the oven. SM’s idea of dessert is a jar of pickles. (Not o (read full article)
I grew up thinking that french toast was something you ate for breakfast any old day. (Lucky kid, right?) SUE! has a great recipe for it, and she’d use Pepperidge Farm white sandwich bread and cut it in half diagonally to make triangles. As it woul (read full article)
Did you ever have to sit at the dinner table as a kid until you finished the vegetable incarnation of your nemesis? “There are starving children in Ethiopia and you will sit here until you finish your vegetables!!” How many parents used that thre (read full article)
I have this friend Beef who thinks that I am obsessed with carrots. I have no idea where this assumption came from; perhaps because I’m a carrot top she figured that I must really like carrots? Sure, I like carrots as much as any other kid, but not (read full article)
Well, I’m rejuvenated from yesterday’s roast chicken dinner, and am back on the train to good health thanks to tonight’s seriously comforting Chicken Pot Pie. Honestly, does comfort food come any better that Chicken Pot Pie? There are very few (read full article)
You may have noticed that I disappeared for a bit. I’m sorry, I’ve missed you, too. Unfortunately the only thing I was cooking was dry toast because I had the dreaded H1N1 flu. But the good news is that after 10 or so days, I’m feeling much mor (read full article)
What are your family’s favorite traditional Thanksgiving side dishes? Every family has at least a few. Whether it’s the cranberry jello-mold that Aunt Mary makes (is it ever a good idea to eat something with “mold” in the title?) or Uncle Sal (read full article)
I started cooking about five years ago when I convinced a good friend of mine to give me cooking lessons. I had just bought a house and remodeled the kitchen, and the food that was coming out of it was just not measuring up. So she came to my house e (read full article)
