I have loved salad my whole life (to my mother’s delight), but in my preteen years that meant Wish Bone Italian dressing. I loved that dressing. I can still sharply visualize the little mysterious bits floating in the vinegar layer at the bottom of the bottle, beneath the top level of [...]

This is a recipe that has been a long time coming. We prepared this magnificent dish on Dec 11 of 2005. This is a record recipe, which is to say it is as I prepared it. See notes for other options. The mushroom and onion treatment is thanks to Jerry Ver Brugge, who gave us [...]
I hear that this weekend is Memorial Day weekend, which comes as a bit of a shock. Time seems to be outpacing me. Patrick’s last post described our little work party, and the steps we took toward getting our hard-laying hens a little extra space to roam. We finally, last night after work, managed to [...]
Here’s a great recipe to prepare with those preserved lemons you made! Like the recipe for the lemons, I adapted this recipe from the book Moroccan Cafe. Our colloquial name for this dish is “Moroccan Chicken.” Ingredients
Here’s the quiche mentioned in Patrick’s “Spring Plantings” post. It was divine. It is a riff off of my mother Mary’s famous spinach quiche. She would make it for the brunches we held every Christmas while I was growing up, and it remains one of my favorite foods. The girls have been laying so well [...]

The dish is quite versatile and takes well to all sorts of vegetable additions. Last spring I added a cup of goatsmilk [...]
This is a good recipe for leftover cooked barley. It’s simple, filling, and tasty. I’m not going to try and measure everything out here. Just use enough barley for each person, a handful of cheese and 1 or 2 eggs per person. Ingredients
Last week I got a sack of locally grown Meyer and Eureka lemons from our fabulous neighborhood produce redistribution people, Temescal Amity Works. They collect excess fruit and produce from neighborhood trees and gardens, and pass them along to other neighbors. When my lemons are done I will send some jars back their way. It’s [...] |
