12.16.08Cheap Ass Monday: I have squash out the yin-yang.And I don't mean in the gross way, like with the carrot; I've learned my lesson there.* No, the final delivery of the 2008 CSA is the root-vegetables-to-last-you-through-the-coming-nuclear-winter delivery. Thank god we split our share with friends, because we ended up with 20 or 30 pounds of potatoes and 2 dozen squash - and this was after a harsh freeze that killed off a goodly part of Farmer John's crops. *You'd think I'd stop beating the dead carrot already, but I just can't.

09.05.08The Dodge & Graham Horse and Pony Jamboree: EpilogueThank god, someone made actual dinner. The Horse and Pony Jamboree was a hell of a lot of fun to watch, but, as you may have gleaned, there was not a lot of finished food produced. It fell to the old guard to produce actual, nourishing food that would keep us sated for more than 15 minutes. You see, the whole day had been hyped as a showdown of new vs. old school: new school being anyone born in 1977 or after who first learned to cook in the current decade (everyone but my brother-in-law Peter), old school being anyone who learned ...
