As you loyal readers know, I officiated at the Lower Makefield Farmers’ Market Zucchini Races on August 12th. What fun! It’s mostly kids making the racers (with a few experienced adults). The entries were creative with great names (“Unbeetable,” “Speed Buggy,” “The Bo Mobile”). Here are the results. See the photo slideshow for some great [...]

Remember this Seinfeld episode? Kramer: Well, they’re in… Jerry: What’s in? Kramer: The Macanaw peaches, Jerry! The Macanaw peaches! Jerry: Ah, right. The ones from Oregon that are only ripe for two weeks a year… Kramer: Yeah…I waited all year for this (bites the peach). Ooooh, this is fantastic…Makes your taste buds come alive…It’s like [...]

by guest blogger Rich Baringer It’s just about time for watermelons to start appearing in our local farm markets. In many ways, watermelon seems like the all-American fruit—a staple at our summer picnics. It actually originated in Africa where it was cultivated by the Egyptians. It wasn’t until the 1600’s that it was introduced to [...]

by guest blogger Rich Baringer Jake is a carnivore. My 4-year old will eat pretty much any kind of meat–often pretending that he’s a lion eating a gazelle. So whenever he sees the grill out, he gets his hopes up for some sort of meat that he can sink his teeth into. Now that it’s summer, [...]

by guest blogger Rich Baringer Not too long ago, my wife and I were talking about how interesting it is that the trendy thing to do these days is to eat like people did 150 years ago—local, fresh, natural. It may be the “in” thing to do, but I think we finally have a trend that’s [...]

No, this isn’t a recipe for one of those interesting (i.e., wierd) “molecular” dishes. It describes what consumed me for most of Monday afternoon and all of Monday evening. I decided to take the day off. Kind of hard to do when you work from home and the internet is always there. It’s difficult to establish boundaries, [...]

If you’ve been to the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown you have seen and enjoyed the work of Ben Solowey (1900-1978). Twice a year the gracious residents of the famous Bucks County artist’s home and studio open the property for art lovers to appreciate the beautiful house and grounds that inspired Ben Solowey. What does this have [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I visited the Flint Hill Farm Agricultural Center in Coopersburg, PA. I had heard of the farm—mostly because it’s one of the few places locally producing goat cheese—but the farm is much more than that. Their motto is “Feeding the Spirit, Educating the Mind, Preserving the Community.” And they’re doing all they [...]

Personal Chef Rich Baringer tells us what to do with all these lovely greens showing up at farmers’ markets this time of year. I’ve added one more recipe I tried over the weekend for a swiss chard gratin. Simple and delicious. It’s spring. Farmers’ markets have opened, pick-your-own farms are thriving and we’ve got our [...]

Just had one of those “doh!” moments. Chive flowers are really delicious. I’ve known for years they were edible but didn’t have the guts to chomp on one until just now, wandering out in the yard, checking on my herb garden. Spicy and oniony. Wow. Definitely going into our salads this week. Update: Check out this [...]

If you are regular reader of my blog, you must know by now that I am fascinated to learn how things work – whether it’s how we get our food or how someone does their job (I am a “recovering” organizational psychologist – my previous profession). So when I saw this post from The Happy [...]

Had to laugh at this one! Maybe we should all give it a try. http://www.gocomics.com/cathy/2010/05/17/

Paralleling the move to put more locally grown and produced food on our tables (both at home and in restaurants) is another movement to raise awareness among children about where their food comes from. There are a lot of ways to do this. Certainly some schools are trying to improve the quality and freshness of [...]
