Pre-plan Can Plan

January 20, 2013

2013 brought about some unsavory circumstances around these here parts. First my monthly student loan debt payment doubled (bye, bye grace period). Then I had the pleasure of dealing with credit card fraud for the first time. And then I found out the house I live in had been sold, without any prior notice to […]

Fermented Apple Peel Vinegar (+ Switchel)

October 9, 2012

Apples, in their many possible forms, are one of my *favorite* foods. I’m extremely appreciative to live in an area of the country that, despite its own share of drought and freezes, has seemed to fare better than other, harder-hit agricultural communities throughout the US. I’ve been drying a lot of apples this fall, and […]

Maple Apple Butter

October 4, 2012

Lately, it’s been hard to tell if I live in Boston or Seattle. A seemingly-endless stretch of dark and drizzly days has been a boon to the fall garden- now full of leafy greens, brassicas, and some root crops- and a great excuse to stay indoors. As I keep hacking away at that can plan […]

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 […]

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 […]

Grow a SCOBY & Brew Your Own Kombucha

February 16, 2012

I am a lover of food. Plain and simple. I always have a hard time remembering what I absolutely dislike, in terms of flavor and texture, because those items seem so few and far between. As I sit here typing this, the only standout that comes to mind is krill (yes, I said krill). Though […]
