I love this time of year. The only problem with getting these in our weekly organic fruits and veggies box is that it will be a fight to see who gets to eat them. We could all eat our body weight in them. These strawberries are all perfect too. I don’t think anyone will…

Day 120 – Quiche
While reading Another Suburban Mom’s post about Mother’s Day Gifts, I started thinking about quiche. Let me explain how my brain got from one to the other; it isn’t as odd as it may seem at first. My mother-in-law always makes quiche for brunches. And, despite the fact it is Mother’s Day and isn’t supposed…
Day 114 – Sunday Dinner
We usually don’t do anything special for Sunday dinner, but tonight we had a friend over for dinner. Our plan yesterday to make risotto out of our Farmer’s Market finds was delayed. We decided to wait for him. I’ll talk more about our friend in a couple days. Dinner tonight was important, so we did…
Day 113 – The Farmer’s Market
Armed with my Nikon D80 outfitted with my new lens, we went to the Farmer’s Market after dropping of DJ at her Girl Scout thing. This time of the year, our Farmer’s Market has flowers, veggie starts, asparagus, and various root veggies. Mixed in are all of the little mom & pop cheese stands, bakeries,…
My Favorite Food Blogs
I love food blogs. Well done food blogs have great instructions, summarized recipes (for those of us who don’t give instructions much of a read), and great pictures so you understand exactly what you are cooking. Here are some of the sites that make me drool: Dutch Girl Cooking Kay has a wide variety of…
Lunches at Our House
ASM and Dana have both recently blogged about school lunches. Dana about the “emergency lunch” for kids who do not have the money to buy lunch. And, ASM tackled the question of what’s for lunch. First, I will agree with Dana on the approach of giving the kids a cheese sandwich. I’m glad the kids…
Day 60 – Evil
Garbanzo returned from San Diego today and brought presents. (I think it was an apology for leaving me with the craziness this weekend, but I’m not going to complain about the thought.) What I will ask is:What the fuck was he thinking?? I’ve been doing a great on my New Year’s Resolution of eating better…
Baby Food
A comment about a week ago that received a bunch of interesting responses was the one where I revealed that I made my kid’s baby food instead of buying it. Yes, I guess I was being a “hippie freak”, Hubman. Whenever I reveal this to someone, I am always amazed at the response. Why? Because…
Day 50 – Vegan Food
As I have mentioned before, Garbanzo is a vegetarian. Being married to a vegetarian is a pain in the ass a wonderful adventure especially when you are trying to eat out. I won’t go into how much fun it is to do this while traveling through an agricultural area. Three doors down from the taekwondo…
Day 32 – Sin on a Plate
And I’m not talking about me 🙂 These are what we affectionately refer to as “crack cookies”. They got their name after Garbanzo made them and gave some to a friend who had a four year old. The four year old got ahold of them in the car and ate 4 of these monster…
