I'm a nutrition major, and I spent last summer working with an organic dairy farm and on an organic CSA farm, in attempt to findout where food comes from. Both very, very enlightening experiences t...

This looks so delicious! I've never tried fiddleheads, and I think I will take the plunge. Thanks for posting this!

Oh yum! Thank you for posting this, I will check it out!

This is really lovely, thank you for sharing! It's a dreary, cold, damp day here in NH and this gives me hope that spring will be here soon.

Our farmer's market opens tomorrow. I can't wait to see what they have! I'll plan my meals around tomorrow's shopping.

Thanks spossberg and raspberry eggplant - I will freezer some Stoneyfield Farm for future yogurt batches. Raspberry - I know that freezing will kill some bacteria, and slow the metabolic rate of ot...

Spossberg - frozen yogurt for starter culture... Interesting! That never occured to me. Have you had success with this? I would think the freezing would kill the probiotics. Lemme know, I might wan...

I don't own any of her Macy's dutch ovens, but I have owned several of her K-Mart ones (the olive green/cream ones). The K-Mart versions were attractive and a good price for my young adult budget (...

How about French doors with screens instead of glass, and a sheer curtain over it (curtain rods just above/below the glass, and the curtain a little scrunched rather than flat)?

The knife that feels the most comfortable in your hand is the best. This can be a cheapy $8 knife from K-Mart, or a $100 knife from Henckels. If it doesn't feel good in your hand, you won't use it ...

Wow what interesting colors! I'm in the process of picking paint for my travertine-tiled bathroom and will look in this color direction. Thanks!

For local butters I like Kate's and Cabot. But, I predominantly use Kerry Gold. Ooooooh Kerry Gold... there is nothing else like it. The smoothness of it just can't be beat.

This is a great post with many thinking/talking points. Quality food will always be my #1 priority - I will sacrifice where I live or the kind of car I drive inorder to (continue to) purchase organ...

Oooooh I hope someone has a solution. My very naughty male cat pee'd on my antique walnut desk and left some discoloration.

Hi Sally - I'm a nutritional sciences major; PhD in micro wins. :) My micro professor stated that when we shifted cows from pasture to grass about 25 or so years, the change in diet caused physiolo...

Do it! Do it! Bougainvillea is one of my favoriteist things about California. It just won't grow here in New England... let me live my botanical dreams through you!
