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
Posted in Garden, Goals, Tomatoes on May 14, 2009 | 6 Comments »
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
Posted in Eating Out, Pizza, Tomatoes on December 14, 2008 | 7 Comments »
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 [...]

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 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 [...]
Saucy Lady

I’m a little late in posting, but last Wednesday was pizza night. It came together nicely; we used ground sausage left over from making stuffed acorn squash, caramelized onion, goat cheese crumbles, and a little mozzarella, all on top of an amended version of my canned tomato sauce and the trusty whole-wheat dough from Earth [...]
Dried Tomato Polenta
Posted in Tomatoes, Vegetarian on November 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
On Monday I made up some polenta, which is cornmeal prepared as a porridge. Look for stone-ground cornmeal, since it is coarser and has more flavor. It can be a simple meal as a porridge (either sweet or savory; polenta with butter and honey is a wonderful breakfast on a cold morning!), or it can [...]
