CSAy what?: Kale fail

Posted on June 30, 2010 | Category: CSAy what? | 11 Comments

CSA: Week 2 I had every intention of titling this week’s CSA update “Conquering kale,” because that was exactly what I’d hoped to accomplish with this here bunch of lacinato kale. I was going to turn these otherwise prehistoric-looking, dino-skinned greens into delicious baked chips, and I was going to sing the praises of kale, [...]

Confessions of the random kind

Posted on June 29, 2010 | Category: Uncategorized | 19 Comments

Because Roth hates going to these stores, two or three times a month I go to Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, or Ross alone on my lunch break, just to look around. Sometimes I’ll try on a dress or a pair of shoes, but I very rarely buy anything. I used to do this on my way [...]

Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day

Posted on June 28, 2010 | Category: Uncategorized | 7 Comments

This weekend we valiantly attempted to achieve what I’ve dubbed as the Suburban Trifecta. Also known as, trips to Target, Costco, AND Home Depot all in the span of two days while maintaining our sanity. Sadly, we didn’t make it to a Target, but we did go to IKEA, which I think can easily sub [...]

Give peas a chance

I promise this isn’t turning into a CSA all day, every day blog, but man, we really are enjoying the fresh veggies. Finally feels like summer around here. Happy Friday, all!

CSAy what?

Posted on June 22, 2010 | Category: CSAy what? | 13 Comments

I’ve decided I want to document our weekly CSA experience this summer. I’m not sure what purpose it will serve my readers exactly, but it’s a good exercise in accountability and organization, to take inventory and thoughtfully plan meals that use up all of the local, organic produce we receive each week. Even though you [...]

I just love these guys. And I think it’s safe to say they kinda like each other, too.

On deck

We’ve got a lot to celebrate this coming weekend. First, today is Rowan’s half birthday. But you already know that. Second, tomorrow is Roth’s and my 5-year wedding anniversary. I’m taking the day off from work to hang out with Rowan (craving some mom-and-baby-boy bonding). Then, somehow we managed to secure a babysitter (my lovely [...]

The bee’s knees

Posted on June 16, 2010 | Category: Uncategorized | 9 Comments

I’ve mentioned this a few times, that I’m a fan of recognizing half birthdays when they come to pass. If nothing else, it’s a perfect opportunity to reflect on the six months prior, and to forecast the six months following. Tomorrow is Rowan’s half birthday. In just six months, he will be 2. Forecast: we’re [...]

Soccer and a son

Posted on June 12, 2010 | Category: Saturday Snapshot | 6 Comments

From June 20, 2006: “World Cup soccer is the one sporting event Roth actually cares about – not football, baseball, basketball or any other American sport. Well, maybe tennis, but I’d hardly classify that as American. This is something else I love about Roth. He’s not a typical beer-drinking, sports-watching kind of guy. During the [...]

Everything and the kitchen sink

Posted on June 10, 2010 | Category: Uncategorized | 8 Comments

If you’ve read me for any length of time, you probably have an inking by now that Roth is a food guy. I consider myself a food girl, too, but my palate is far less adventurous and my skills less superior to those of my culinary talented husband’s. Before he went into food science, he [...]
