There are a couple side effects of having a heat lamp with a red bulb in the girls’ roost box for warmth.
1. They’re party girls – up until all hours of the night
2. When they get really brave they even venture out into the run in the strange reddish light
3. We’re starting to get eggs [...]

I hope that everyone had a great holiday! As I mentioned, we had a delicious dinner and have really enjoyed the long weekend. We also had many local breakfasts, lunches and dinners this week that I won’t bore you with. And of course, we finally opened our first jars of dill pickles – mmmm mmmm [...]

I won’t bore you with a long list of where our ingredients came from or how far they traveled. But suffice it to say that we had a mostly local, very delicious Thanksgiving dinner. Things that weren’t local that made it to the table? Black olives, organic chicken broth, dried sour cherries, sugar, salt, pepper, [...]

I’m a bad blogger. Or at least I played one this past week. I cooked a number of local meals, including an informal Sunday dinner for friends, but wrote about none of them. On Sunday we had meatloaf, mashers, broccoli and salad – all of it made from local ingredients. I used my favorite meatloaf [...]

This week was a slow return to normalcy for me. I’d forgotten just how much worse jet lag is coming back West than it is going East. It’s only since yesterday that I finally feel like I’m back in the land of the living.
We ate wildly local at the beginning of the week, enjoying chicken [...]

Still no progress on the Italy recap front – I finally decided to go ahead and upgrade my Flikr account and figured out how to add a slide show here, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. I’m targeting Saturday as the day to deal with photos. So look for my recap of Milan and [...]

I’m in the middle of downloading the approximately 1400 photos that I took in Italy – thank goodness for digital, I can’t imagine what it would cost me to process that much 35mm film… I don’t have a specific meal to report, but suffice it to say that we ate some of the most fabulous [...]
