Vegetarian Thanksgiving: The Omnivore's Appeal
I have been vegetarian for broke, no income college student reasons but also because meat is not high on my must haves list. Truthfully, I am perfectly satisfied with a rotating menu that includes vegetables, breads, mollusks, fish, fruit and liver. The rest of meat I can do without. When …
Perfumed Crystals: Going Beyond Plain Sugar
There is nothing more simple than making flavored sugar and it adds a wonderful dimension to baked goods or sprinkled over just the right thing. My pantry has vanilla sugar in a big bin, which ends up being the sugar I use for almost all my sweet baking. Any time …
Canadian Cranberry Sauce: Slightly Citrus Cranberry Sauce (Recipe)
This Canadian Cranberry sauce recipe has a slight hint of citrus from orange peel. The cranberry sauce recipe is great on its own, on sandwiches and in cocktails.
Zen Lessons on the CSA Farm it
This week we’re picking blueberries and sugar snaps. It is hotter than hot, but somehow it’s almost always just a little bit cooler on the farm. After a week of city heat, and sloth with everyone’s nerves growing together like tangled weeds it feels good to leave the kids on …

When Dan said, “This is so yummy!” and I replied “Thanks, I got it on Pinterest.” It just sounded so strange. I’ve been searching for recipes from my Bon Appetit and Gourmet …
On Ramping, Off Ramping: Just give me ramps
As a parent of school-aged children and a stay at home parent (occasional work at home parent), I have seen this little word that buzzes by me periodically “on-ramping”. I love to write and I have a close relationship with my OED and Roget‘s but I am not a huge …
Treat with Benefits: Nutella
My first introduction to Nutella was when I was in elementary school in Canada. We had friends who were from Paraguay and one of their kids was in my brothers class. I don’t know how it came up, but my brother said that chocolate was a good lunch. My mom …
