Thank you. Thank you for the sun, the warm weather, the seeds that are sprouting and the really simple plastic covers that are making it all possible. Thank you for it all. It’s such a blessing to walk in the garden everyday and delight in new growth and green. The plastic is a new idea […]
This week the cover came off the schooner! Sunny, warm, and folks we are going sailing soon. Now it’s just a race to see what we can get done before we drop the paint brushes and sanders, the cleaning rags and brass polish and hoist the sails for the first time. This is a lovely […]

To go with the Red Rice and Asparagus Salad posted yesterday… Roasted Leg of Lamb Stuffed with Parsley Walnut Pesto The size of the lamb leg will vary depending on how large the animal was when butchered. I’ve seen them as small as 4 pounds and as large as 8 pounds. Most of the ones […]
Easter weekend for us is always comprised of orphaned families, including ours, converging on our house for a large meal. By ‘orphaned families’ I mean those families who don’t live near extended family and can’t always celebrate every holiday together. Most of us don’t travel for this holiday, but instead, gather every year to create […]
Farmer Tom from Hope’s Edge delivered gorgeous fronds of leeks to me in early May last year – not nearly far enough into the growing season to have them as large as they were. But these leeks were special. They’d been heeled in and over-wintered under a deep layer of straw. When we had a […]
Bread is not easy. Anytime we deal with a living organism, there is unpredictability. Live things just don’t always do what we wish, or it takes longer, or it happens faster. In any event, it’s not always on our exacting timetable. But it doesn’t have to be so maddening. A number of people have said […]

Radishes, spinach and lettuce seeds are all happily sprouting on the window sill in the kitchen where I can water them, love on them, enjoy them and talk to them. The ground is still mostly covered with snow. The skies are often gray but oddly bright with frequent white fluffy flakes drifting down. And inside, […]

This new restaurant, Comida Latin Kitchen, is squeezed into a sliver of a space just like a few others in Camden (or New York City). It’s colorful, cozy, Latin-themed and lovely. There are smart banquets lined with turquoise and white pillows that brighten beautifully the room along with the melon and white painted walls. The […]

Grumpy didn’t begin to describe how I was coming to feel about our 15 year old couch. My parents still have the couch they were gifted when they married and even more, the couches that were my grandparents. Yup, re-upolstered, but still have them. So when I looked at our couch, only 15 years old, […]
