I think we found a good use for strawberries

Our dinner plans were in the “still forming” stage when I got a call from a good friend in a crisis who needed a shoulder. Off I went. Before I left, Joseph asked if there was anything he could do for me. My response: “Yes. Make a strawberry tart and buy [...]

Unexpected Date Night

It hasn’t been the easiest week in our house.  We’re both under big deadlines and lots of pressure.  Then we ended up unexpectedly home tonight with a little bit of downtime. As much as we love cooking, neither one of us was quite up for expending any extra energy.  We opted for a rare week [...]

Scapes! Scapes! Scapes!

This year I’ve been experimenting with making pestos.  My favorite so far has been the ramp pesto; the garlic greens pesto was a bit stringy due to the nature of the garlic greens.
On a recent night I made a garlic scape pesto with scapes from Stick and Stone Farm.  What I tend to do when [...]
