Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop
Have you ever been to one of those cookie exchange parties? The ones where you take several dozen cookies to someone's house and inexplicably come home with thousands of cookies. Seriously, the math on this never works out. Or I'm hoarding someone else's Christmas cookies. Anyway, this here's a virtual cookie exchange.

End-of-summer treats
I am really ready for fall, but I will sure miss the tomatoes. Farewell, caprese* salads. Until next year! * Yes, I realize that real caprese salad doesn't include balsamic vinegar, or even the extra delicious fig balsamic vinegar from Lucero in Northern California. But it's extra delicious, and you should try it. … Continue reading End-of-summer treats
On to Autumn

Well, that’s … interesting
Sometimes, I think my CSA is just messing with me. This one had a name, though, so I didn't have to resort to the internets to figure out what was lurking in the bottom of my CSA delivery box. Behold the Maitake mushroom. No idea what I'm doing with it yet. If anyone has suggestions, … Continue reading Well, that’s … interesting
The best … broccoli
I live with someone who could probably eat broccoli at every meal and never tire of it. I like the stuff, but I need a little more variety. Then I tried this recipe for the best broccoli ever. I used the romanesco broccoli from my CSA delivery, which was flavorful and fractal-shaped. This recipe is … Continue reading The best … broccoli
