Happy March! Spring is coming. And that has me thinking of lightning bugs, the coming summer, sweat, and easy, pretty meals comprised of fresh, whole foods. Here’s what I’m talking about: June 9, 2010; July 19, 2009 June 24, 2009 I was thinking about how these kinds of meals are my favorite. So, I put [...]

Okra
Posted in Garden, Grill, Tomatoes, Vegetarian Friendly on October 18, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I grew okra for this first time this summer. It was so easy to grow and productive, unlike my tomatoes. (Bitter? Maybe.) If you’ve never grown it before, consider it. If you aren’t a gardener, consider it. Seriously! It’s a lovely plant, with its dramatic flowers, bamboo-like stalks, and huge, tropical-looking leaves. Okra grows best [...]

By the way, this is one of the last photos featuring these ugly countertops. We’re moving soon! More light, better countertops, no more streaky stainless steel, and lots of other good things to come. Can’t wait!
Craigslist Magic
Posted in Community, Local, Tomatoes on July 8, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Trading on craigslist turns this: Into this: 8 pounds of tomatoes! I traded Lazy Day Farm (on Seward Road, 1.5 miles east of I-35 near Guthrie) the massive amount of pots I’ve accumulated for eight pounds of tomatoes. I had no idea she was going to give me so many! I’m going to make gazpacho [...]
Garden Update

We finally put plants in the raised bed on May 3rd. Whew, that felt good! Plant dates kept getting postponed due to the weather or my schedule. I’m glad we didn’t hold off any longer since it has remained rainy and overcast ever since. I bought the tomato and pepper transplants from High Tides and [...]
Some Reading

A diverse sampling of food-related reading: “Pig brain mist” mystery concludes The Price of Tomatoes Related photos here. As a relatively petty aside, notice the color of the tomatoes. Nice essay on organic food. Clean food should not be a luxury item. An amazing 2002 article by Michael Pollan on industrial livestock: from artificial insemination [...]
Pizza

I love making pizza! I also love that Matt worked at Papa John’s for 3.5 years, so he’s a pro at rolling out the dough. We get whole wheat dough balls from Earth Elements. They are yummy and convenient. I’ve tried making my own, but it didn’t turn out so well. If you have a [...]
Colors of Summer

From the farmers’ market: okra, Cherokee purples, a couple ounces of Thai dragon peppers, an habanero pepper, peaches, white eggplant, and Mexican midget tomatoes from our garden Mexican midgets from the garden. These things are prolific! Our front garden. The back garden has been overtaken by various grasses. Here in the front we have the [...]
Putting Food By

Let me preface this post by saying that the National Center for Food Preservation is the bomb. They make food preservation so simple! If an unfamiliar method or term is listed in the recipe, you can bet it’s hyper linked to a full description, often with accompanying photos! So, this mad day of canning all [...]
Bulguriffic!
Posted in Casserole/One Dish, Recipe, Tomatoes, Vegetarian Friendly on May 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
In April the co-op started selling bulgur. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite foods! Bulgur, in itself, isn’t tremendous or anything. But when combined with some other ingredients, it takes on great flavor and substance. It’s really cheap and can be used for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. I don’t actually know about [...]
