Much to my surprise, I ended up with a large amount of free mushrooms this weekend. Thinking ahead to winter, I decided to go ahead and dehydrate them to use in soups later on. If you have never dehydrated mushrooms before, let me tell you. It was a piece of cake. Seriously, a trained monkey Read More >>

Last week I shared a link to a woman in France who has a flicker account titled, These Days in French Life. It’s basically a photographic journey of this woman’s life in France. What makes her pictures so extraordinary, is that this woman feeds her family on a diet of “scraps.” Food that has been Read More >>

This week started with The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird and I in Paris, France. Followed by an afternoon in San Francisco, California and it was topped off by a gloriously sunny weekend here in Western Washington. I could not have planned a more perfect week if I had tried.

Leaving me to clean it up. Well, yesterday I finally got around to cleaning up their mess. This is what the radish Read More >>

Okay, first of all I owe a huge thank you to JJ and Leanna who told me I should turn some of the ground pork that has been sitting in my freezer {totally ignored} for the last 6 months into meatballs. Because I had absolutely no idea what to do with it. You two are Read More >>

Although I don’t think growing carrots is rocket science, I thought I would talk about them today. After all, they are one of my favorite “set it and forget it” vegetables to plant. I usually plant carrots twice a year. Once in early spring, and again around the fourth of July. This morning I will Read More >>
