This recipe makes one … Continue reading Food Processor Pound Cake
Regardless of how you pronounce this beloved seasonal vegetable here on my little patch of heaven, trying to get a photo of an abundant tomato harvest isn’t easy when my girls/chickens are out and about. That’s why you see 2 of them approaching the bowl of tomatoes perched on our outhouse stoop. I thought you’d like to see a photo of all these different kinds … Continue reading I say ToMAtoes; do you say ToMAHtoes?

So cheese is indeed an ancient food. How about having feta as the … Continue reading Baked Feta with Garlic & Oregano
Our friends, Bob and Bert Villing, live in an 1800’s farmhouse down the road from us. Bob grows asparagus, and lots of it. We were the happy recipients of several pounds of this springtime vegetable.
