Oh Wegmans.... today I shopped in the best Houston has to offer. It's nice - good bread, interesting cheese - but dude, it's no Wegmans. Miss my Ithaca home often; One of the biggest reasons? Weg...
I have the seventies version and the newer version.... I loved the old version for pickling and canning and jam and jelly and pies info... but I like the newer version that more accurately reflect...
Love my cast iron, non-enamelled, Lodge dutch oven. Use it 4 days a week, at least. It's pretty nicely seasoned and I just scrub and rinse without soap. I love it! Love it.
I had guests over the other night and proceeded to mix the pesto and the pasta by hand. I just can't do it any other way. They didn't seem to mind - and frankly if they did, they don't have to co...
I'm in TX too... and you can send the rain and the gnocchi to me right now. Sick family is eating potato soup tonight anyway, so we'd love to pile on our starches.
A simple Israeli cous-cous covered in home grown and home made pesto sauce topped with a sliced home grown purple cherokee tomato and a sprinkle of feta. I am a happy camper.
Houston, here... is hot!
We have already harvested beautiful tomatoes, eggplant and peppers.
This is my first year gardening down here - moved here from Ithaca NY, and am amazed by t...
I make a big pot of hummus... it keeps pretty well, and is edible on veggies, crackers, bread or tortillas, and it's just a comforting food to have on the road. I too take tortillas everywhere - t...
yeeeeerch. Dad ordered one for very small brother (I think he was 4) - and it came on a sandwich with all it's legs falling out of the bread. Dad didn't understand when small brother cried. Lou...
My husband and I used to live in a hole-ridden 140 year old farmhouse in upstate NY. We had a snake that lived under the fridge... he just moved in. I only almost stepped on him twice in 4 years,...
Knowing that the big companies own the industrial organics doesn't necessarily change my thinking. this country runs on money - and perhaps rising demand for the organics makes organic available m...
I do this with Cornichons - i never get enough out of the garden to do a full jar, so I soak them in salt and ice for a few hours, then drop them in the white wine vinegar pickle-cocktail. Seems t...
Mulberry Trees all over Houston and an enthusiastic husband and 3 year old, mean that my freezer is FULL of mulberries. We're really proud of ourselves - in spite of the odd looks we got in the park.
I have used salt to control fleas.... sprinkling salt on the carpet, leaving it for a few hours, then vacuuming. I don't want to use Borax because of child and cats, who roll on the floor. It see...
Made it tonight... It was incredible! Probably the best chicken I've ever "roasted." I did leave the lid on for most of the time. The garlic was exquisite!
For once in my life I really u...

I have never been able to make this work! So disappointing! I'll try again with these suggestions!

Genesee Cream Ale. Though I love love love some Miller Hi Life in a glass bottle.

Course, that could have just been the vacuuming.

Plastic, i assume. Not ok by me. Love my toaster oven, don't need anything else.
