Asian Stock & Simple Soup

March 27, 2012

via Waltham Fields Community Farm blog: So it was too good to be true (the incredibly warm weather we just experienced, that is). Like a touch of summer to be relished amidst the transition from winter to spring, the heat came and went, and we are now back to the reality of chilly springtime weather […]

Beautiful Stories of an American Agrarian Renaissance

March 25, 2012

Oh man. This site/org is right up my alley. How do they make money doing this? Or rather, do they make money doing this? I do not know. But I sure hope they keep on doing what they do. Perhaps we need an organization like this in the Northeast… Anyone looking to start a project […]

Time to get growing

March 21, 2012

It’s as if the universe, in all of her majesty, somehow knows that a) it is my birthday (week), b) it is my Spring Break, and c) I’m itching to get down and dirty in the Learning Garden. The weather has been absolutely glorious up here in the Northeast, and I’m trying to take advantage […]

Green Vegetable Green Curry

March 18, 2012

via Waltham Fields Community Farm blog: I feel like I’m a day late and a buck short on this post. The idea to cook up a green vegetable green curry dish coincidentally came to mind just prior to March 17. And though I did prepare the meal on Friday and have been enjoying it all […]

Quick ‘n Dirty Kimchi

March 15, 2012

Maybe doing a post on sauerkraut would have been more fitting given St. Patrick’s Day is a hop, skip, and jump away from us. But I’ve already done that here. So I decided to post a recipe for kimchi I recently tried out. Featuring cabbage, carrot, pear, and daikon radish seasoned with ginger, garlic, and […]

Is Spaceship Earth* trying to tell us something?

March 14, 2012

*I’ve been using this phrase ever since I watched Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soapbox on Netflix several months ago. I recommend it. You’ll definitely laugh, and a part of you will probably cry. It’s fun. And the sound of the phrase brings a Ziggy Stardust David Bowie to mind, which always brightens my day. Love Bowie. […]

Homemade Yogurt

March 12, 2012

The sun is out, the temps are up, kids are playing in the streets, and the flock of chickadees inhabiting the hedge that divides my neighbors’ back yards are singing with all their might. At risk of being slightly premature, I will say that spring has SPRUNG in Massachusetts, and I could not be a […]

Digging In & Putting Up in 2012: Part II

March 7, 2012

I’m kind of in disbelief that it’s already March, and I sense there are plenty of others feelin’ me on this. Every year that goes by seems faster than the one before it, and an essential lack of all things winter (snow, stretches of bone-chilling temps… did I mention snow?) in the Northeast this year […]

Dried Apple Rings

March 5, 2012

Well, it happened again. It was like any other weekend morning. Cruising around Whole Foods, doing my weekly shopping. I decided to try out some of the bulk bin Swiss muesli to switch up my breakfast routine; as I scooped the cereal into a bag, I noticed very few bits of dried apple, but thought […]

Ceci n’est pas une miche de pain

March 4, 2012

I’m not usually one to buy books (grad student budget + Internet + libraries = limited book purchasing), but when swayed, you can bet I’m on Amazon, ordering away. So when associate professor of politics and author of the soon-to-be-released White Bread: A Social History of the Store Bought Loaf Aaron Bobrow-Strain recently discussed how […]
