CSA Week 4

This is becoming as much a food blog, as anything else.

For the 4th week now, we’re starting to get overwhelmed by this amount of greens, though I have to say, we’re probably eating the healthiest ever….  I love the convenience of getting super fresh veggies, all in a span of 5 minutes, and not having [...]

Willik is 8

As of Sunday, our first born, Willik, is 8.  Happy birthday Willik!!

I can’t believe how big he’s getting.

He’s had a great year, and has transitioned very well.  He enjoys the new house, especially the backyard, and will soon be enjoying the much desired tree house, as Fab is getting read to build it.

He has made [...]

CSA Week 3

This week has been so busy, I have barely had a chance to think, much less cook creatively.  We also had a birthday(another blog entry) and several days of eating out.

The list of goods were:

strawberries(finished by the next day)
snow peas
cucumber
napa cabbage
endive lettuce
red lettuce
tuscan kale

Finally, yesterday, the last day of week 3, I was able to [...]

CSA week 2

This week, when I went to get my share, it was pouring down rain!

It’s been raining on and off, every day here!

I brought my cardboard box back for the farmers to re-use it, and I was told I was the only one who brought the box back.

This week there were some of the same things [...]

a broken pinky

The news around our house is that Willik now has a broken pinky.

Specifically, he has a buckle fracture on his left little finger, in the middle phalanx.

Aren’t you glad to be able to learn about anatomy through my son’s tragedy?

Anyway, he broke it while playing with his uncle, down in Maryland.  Tossing a football around, [...]

Myerov Family Farm – CSA Week 1

Last week, our first csa share started.  From Myerov Family Farm.

If you don’t  know what a CSA share is, it’s when you “buy” into a farm, and help support the local farmer, and then every week, throughout late spring, summer and early fall, you get a weekly share of vegetables, herbs, and maybe fruits from [...]

creative desert

Have you been there?  I am there right now.  I know I should be creating things, but I don’t seem to be able to.  I have ideas of grandeur, but even picking up a pencil seems like too much effort.

Something in me really wants to paint and draw, but I sabotage my own efforts by [...]

learning new things

When the kids are little, a large part of the time is spent teaching new things, or celebrating milestones accomplished.

Although I make it a point to rejoice in those things, often my memory is such that soon after, I might forget the details within the event.

On Sunday, Phoenix tied his shoes by himself for the [...]

Preparing my yard

With spring coming, comes much excitement over the backyard.  We’ve been enjoying it almost everyday, for about a week.  It’s reminded me of why we wanted to get a house with a big backyard.  Something I’d been longing for, for so many years.

Another reason for a big backyard is having a garden.  When we moved [...]
