One of the many food stands around our little town!
rainy days.
are days for reading in bed, making soup, and taking a break. Rainy days on the Cape even more so. There’s just something special about the wind blowing off the bay, whistling through the marsh grass and the pine trees.
peanut butter and what?
A couple of weeks ago, I was reading The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. In it the mom mentioned peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Say what? So I googled it … and it really was a thing during the depression. No clue why. Maybe the bread was too dry? Or the peanut butter wasn’t as
farm veggies.
When I’m in Decatur, I like to get our farm box from Fresh Harvest. I love that I can customize what we get and also suspend delivery for weeks when I’m not in Georgia. This week, I ordered brockley but they didn’t have enough to fill orders, so I ended up with asparagus as a
cooking
Since being back in Atlanta, I’ve only cooked a couple of times. For some reason, it is more challenging for me to cook while here as there are more people involved. Grocery shopping is more difficult. Mealtimes are no longer under my control. Plus, I’m here for only a short time, and I need to
day 40. recipe org ….
Covid quarantine organization …. I did the spring cleaning. We are working on the yard. What’s next? I’m running out of projects! So now I’m tackling my recipes … For years, I’ve had a running menu. I record what we cook each day, so next year, we have a suggestion. While I have a great
day 22 – baking.
Popular amongst many of us sheltering-in-place, Camille has been baking! We ran out of all-purpose flour for a bit, but were able to restock via our farm box delivery service. We have plenty of yeast, bread flour, and whole wheat flour. Camille created and nurtured a sourdough starter. Bread, cookies, biscuits … what’s next?
meal planning 4.0
As happens when chaos turns back towards routine at our house, I find the time to exercise more and meal plan. We’re tried prescribed meal plans, a true CSA, having camille, plan, shop and cook, a themed meal plan, a customizable farm box, a boxed meal service, and another meal planning service. Sigh. While some
plate joy.
I’ve been here before. I continue to search for the answer. Meal planning. I have a feeling that one day I will find the solution. We’ve gone through e-Mealz. Far too much processed food for us. I’ve tried Hello Fresh. Ingredients to my door – but I still had to make daily trips to the
create: an update on 2016.
My theme for 2016 is CREATE. I haven’t quite made as much progress as I would have liked, but I am making progress…. For photography, I have taken a few classes, purchased a new lens, and was doing well at taking more interesting photos until I took my break (after spring break). For cooking, I’ve
meals: hello fresh
As I mentioned in more adventures in cabinet excavations, I subscribed to a meal service when we returned from spring break. I’m not sure how long or how often we’ll use it, but we’ve had a few boxes delivered so far. When looking at the options (Plated, Blue Apron, HelloFresh), I went with Hello Fresh
more adventures in cabinet excavations.
While we were out of town for spring break, I realized that our cabinets are bringing me down. Overstuffed, food going bad, but yet nothing to eat. You’ve been there, right? I have to think it isn’t just me …. I seem to come back to trying new ideas in meal planning ever year or
farm box.
At the start of the year, we decided to participate in a pseudo-CSA. In the past, we’ve gone with a CSA (community supported agriculture) plan, but I ended up with more eggplant and okra than what I could palate (that means more than none). We decided to subscribe to Moore Farms because not only did
meal planning – yet again.
As we being to prepare for the end of the summer and for school to start, it’s that time again — time for meal planning. Seems like every couple of years I get inspired to make an effort at planning meals : eMealz (2009), what’s for dinner (2009), meal planning again (2011), meals once again
cooking.
I’ll easily admit it; I’m no chef. I have visions of making lovely meals. I purchase cookbooks in hopes of finding inspiration. Over the past year, I’ve been managing to get dinner on the table more and more often despite our busy schedules. Not only that, we’ve been branching out from rotating through the three
sur la table.
While it was not a goal of my current portion of my Happiness Project, it is a lovely side consequence. Though we bought a simple table and chairs to replace my beloved mission table (now living with a friend), we hadn’t eaten at the table much since we moved to Decatur. I didn’t have the

While Chloe and I were out this afternoon, Camille prepared dinner using a recipe from, well, Martha Stewart Living. I liked it, as long as I avoided the eggplant and the top layer, which was dried out. She then made desert from a recipe form the same magazine — orange creamsicle shakes … which I
On Unbecoming a Vegetarian
Here and there for the past year, I’ve commented about my flirting with not being a vegetarian any longer. After 31 years of not eating meat, it is no easy task incorporating meat back into the diet. I *could* walk into the McDonald’s across the street, plunk down my money and order some chicken nuggests

Camille walked over to Baby Kroger this evening to get groceries for making our Friday night pizza. As usual, she picked up a can of olives. Imagine her surprise when she opened the can and saw this??

At the grocery store today, we saw mountains of green bananas …
