I found this article on MSNBC yesterday and I wanted to post a link to it because I think it's really important.  In light of all the egg recalls in the news you may be wondering what types of eggs you should buy.  Here's the link to the article: Worried About Bad Eggs?  How to Buy… Continue reading Much Ado About Eggs

Hein? Un Ananas?

Hein?  Un ananas?  means Huh? A pineapple? in French.  You probably don't find that very funny.  But if you were in my senior year French AP class you would find it hilarious.  We even made t-shirts (puff paint!) with pineapples on them and that phrase.  It's funny because when you say it in French it… Continue reading Hein?

Peach Jam Preview

I made peach jam last night!  I ended up not having time on Tuesday night because the ILs came over for dinner.  So last night as soon as I got home I went straight into jam-mode.  I was worried that if I put it off any longer the peaches would start to go bad. I… Continue reading Peach Jam Preview

What is it Wednesday: Soba Noodles

Last week I wrote about homemade lettuce wraps.  In that recipe I used soba noodles instead of the dried bean thread noodles, which I couldn't find.  As I was cooking and assembling the wraps I thought, what are soba noodles anyway?  Because to be honest, they look just like whole wheat spaghetti to me: From Wikipedia… Continue reading What is it Wednesday: Soba Noodles

Millions of Peaches

On Saturday morning one of my neighbors came by to tell us that his peach trees were producing and to let him know if we wanted any peaches.  I didn't have to think very long before I said "YES".  I went by on Sunday to get some but he was already out for the day. … Continue reading Millions of Peaches

Chococado Pudding

Last night after work I really wanted to go out and work in the garden.  But it was just so hot that I couldn't make myself do it.  So I read for awhile before making dinner.  I just started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo this week.  I had to wait forever to get it from… Continue reading Chococado Pudding

What is it Wednesday: Brown Rice Syrup

Hello there! Yes it's Wednesday and I've finally gotten around to doing another What is it Wednesday.  I haven't done this in a blue moon!  Benzo actually requested that I do a WIIW on brown rice syrup because he wants to learn more about it.  I first read about brown rice syrup in The Kind Diet. … Continue reading What is it Wednesday: Brown Rice Syrup

Must Be Zucchini Season

People must be picking a lot of zucchini these days because I'm getting more hits than usual on zucchini: Zucchini grows like crazy and once it starts coming, it just doesn't stop until the bugs get to it.  I've given away several of our giant zucchinis from Friday night and we've eaten several and we… Continue reading Must Be Zucchini Season
