We feel fortunate to be here still, writing blog posts and chopping carrots and parsnips by the fire. I might as well go ahead and announce thatContinue reading “post 55 – transition!”

Costata RomanescoContinue reading “post no. 53 – all the summer squash”
post no. 52 – garlic scape season
Garlic scape season is SHORT, so I recommend everyone get some soon, and stock up! They’ll store in your fridge up to a month in a plastic bag. Since it’s harvest day and we are quite busy, this will be quick and to the point. Two points to be exact: What’s a garlic scape? (maybeContinue reading “post no. 52 – garlic scape season”

My thoughts are often with friends and family elsewhere, almost all of whom reside in more densely populated places than I. I can’t help imagining how I’dContinue reading “post no. 48 -preparation!”
