Well, I thought I’d start out with a shot of our raised bed SQFT garden. It’s been great this year. We have green ice lettuce, arugula, mesculin, spinach, and chard in the first box, four bell peppers (green, lemon (got one so far and 3 babies are growing), orange and tiny red), broccoli rabe, italian [...]

These nuts are very, very addicting. I absolutely love them. I use the seasonings for other things too, like stir fry and sometimes rice. I just sent my Sweetie off with a batch of them to a Permaculture emersion course in the Northern Cascades. They are nice to have on hand if you have an [...]

Crêpes have a mystique about them, sounding all French and sexy and stuff. Since it is French cooking, it must be complex and difficult, and only for those snooty people that go to expensive French restaurants, not for us mere mortals. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Crêpes are easy to [...]
