The food adventures of an east coast transplant setting down roots and developing a taste for the northwest. With recipes, restaurant reviews, and food musings.
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)

So I may have mentioned that I wasn’t really cooking anymore. *blushing* Yes, the skin on my knuckles has grown back, my finger nails are long, and my tongue is not completely burned. It’s wonderful. Well, wonderful except that I’m not cooking (read full article)
When I first moved to Seattle, as a going-away present, my dear friend Christy gave me a gift certificate to a random Seattle restaurant she found online. She’d never been to the Emerald City, and she had no idea which part of Seattle I was moving (read full article)
So a confession up front: this post has nothing to do with food. But man oh man, do I have a treat for you! I am consistently surprised (and a little bummed) that it’s not my culinary explorations that readers ask me about. It’s SUE!. Tha (read full article)
Sometimes you just need a quickie. (Dinner. I’m talking about dinner.) And it’s a good idea to have quickie ingredients in your pantry because you never know when the mood will strike. (Frantic. That frantic “OMG what am I going to make for din (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)
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)
Even though the ingredients make it a summer dish, I’ve been craving the rich, stewy, deliciousness of some ratatouille lately, and decided to make it the other night. (Recipe to come, and believe me, you won’t want to miss it!) Eggplant isn’t (read full article)

I have a confession to make: I buy produce because it’s pretty. No, really. Sometimes I’m so mesmerized by the way a piece of fruit looks at the market that 90% of me wants to buy it so I can stare at it on the counter for a few days, and only 10 (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)
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’ve been scratching my head lately over the new Ore-Ida Steam n’ Mash Potatoes. Have you seen the tv ad for them yet? I must be in their target market because it feels like I see the commercial every time I turn on the tube. They’re a bag of f (read full article)
This past weekend we went on a quick trip to San Francisco for SM’s birthday. The weather was spectacular (flip-flop worthy, actually), and the city was jumping with Halloween-crazed pedestrians. Fantastic people watching! Our favorite costumes wer (read full article)
It’s full on fall, and I’m in the mood for one thing: pork chops. Well, that actually means two things, because who would dream of eating pork chops without applesauce? I don’t know about your local market, but mine is currently being invaded b (read full article)
