We are not big on eating out. It’s not that I don’t like restaurants, but I like cooking and saving money too much to go to out on a regular basis. If we eat out more than once a month, its a rarity. But once in awhile, we make an exception. Prior to last Sunday, [...]
I really, really, really dislike winter. I’m terrified of winter driving, I’m perpetually cold and its dark all the time. Winter and I are not friends. But today began one of the few things that will make winter a little bit less sad. Today was the first pick up of our winter CSA membership! Last [...]
My love of fall is probably apparent to who’s been reading this blog for a while. 2 weeks ago I mentioned, at the end of a Highlights post much like this one, that Brian and I had recently purchased 16 pounds of apples. The comments on the post were positive, but I did receive a [...]
It was such a cool and exciting day last spring when we got an email from our friends asking if we’d like to take their CSA share for the first part of the summer while they were traveling. Would we? My semi-newness to the area and unsure job situation, plus general procrastination meant that we [...]
Last night I had the exciting opportunity to listen to farmer and author Ben Hewitt speak. Ben is the author of The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food. After all the press the book’s been getting (see below), I was surprised he was coming to the Berkshires. I was [...]
So, mostly I’m ambivalent about summer. I know, I know…it’s summer and I’m a teacher, so I should be super excited to have the summer off. Except, and apparently only people who teach are aware of this, I don’t really have the summer off. Granted, I signed up for everything I’ll be doing and I’m [...]
I am so incredibly excited that it’s now officially spring. I was so excited yesterday I that forgot to even finish this post! Fear not, the weekly highlights from the web are here! I really can’t complain. I was a little concerned about how bad winter in the Berkshires was going to be (I know…I’m [...]
Last night Brian and I headed to a local “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” event. I was really glad we checked it out and it got some good press in the local paper too. The event ran from 5-7 pm and we got there a bit after 5. I was pleasantly surprised to find [...]
On Saturday, I finally made my way to the Bath Farmer’s Market. It was a beautiful day and I had a wonderful time (as only a food geek like I would). There were about twenty vendors to peruse with an excellent selection which included mushrooms, cheese, eggs, flowers, honey, maple syrup, beef, pork, baked [...]
