The last time I went to the store to pick up meat, I came across a really good deal for Eye of Round roast. ($2.89 a pound, woot!) So, I picked up two roasts to use this week. This one, the first one, I made tonight while Mr. Man was sitting at the bar and [...]

Ah – the weather has warmed up again. Thank goodness for sunlight. I know we need the rain, but oh, it sure does feel good to have the sun on my face again. I know – it was less than a week, but it felt like forever. I’m such a weather-wuss. Anyhow, the sun came [...]

When Mr. Man and I first moved to San Francisco, we moved up here so that he could take a job at this little start up that made a software program he was pretty excited about. There was maybe – oh, twenty people, or so at his office. I would drop in from time to [...]

All the weather changes we’ve had the last few days have had me feeling a little under the weather, unfortunately. I hate cold and damp on a good day, but throw in a little bit of fluctuating temperatures and it’s nearly a guarantee that I will get a cold or flu from it. Almost never [...]

A new box, a new week, a new post. I’ve come to figure out that my whole week tends to revolve around these little cardboard boxes I receive from FFTY each week, instead of monday – my week starts on Wednesday Night.

I made this soup a few nights ago – it had gotten pretty late in the evening, and we were all hungry, but I didn’t really have anything planned for dinner. Miss Thing had had a friend spend the night, and stay for the day, and somehow day had turned in to late evening, and [...]

We’ve had a lot of rain the last couple of days, which I suppose is good for that whole drought thing, but rain never really makes me happy-happy, so I haven’t been enjoying it as much. But the weather hasn’t curtailed my activities as I’ve spent much of the last couple of days canning some [...]

A while back, I came across a post on Simply Recipes for a Carrot Cake that looked delicious, and when I received carrots in my FFTY this week, I decided to give it a try. Which is just as well, since Miss Thing was threatening to revolt if I made Glazed Carrots again. It’s also [...]

I have a confession. I’m not really a big greens eater. I mean, I like salad fine, but the cooking greens generally aren’t my favorite, although I do eat them and enjoy them. Which can be a problem when you receive several bundles of them each week in a farm box. So the last few [...]

It has been entirely too long since I made Potato Salad – and I hadn’t even really realized it had been so long until last night when I was thinking about the baby yukon gold potatoes we received in this weeks Farm Box. The last couple of times I received potatoes in my box, I [...]
