CSAs: It’s like having your own farm

By On March 17, 2010 · 8 Comments

As I sit here writing, appropriately in my kitchen, I look out into my backyard and see the buds on the rhododendron. It’s sunny – for a change – and I’m seeing lots of green. I’m quite amazed, in fact, at the amount of green – chartreuse, really – that I see on my neighbors’ [...]

July 4th – National Barbecue Day?

By On July 2, 2009 · 2 Comments

Actually, no. It turns out that May is National Barbecue Month. I guess there was some other major event being celebrated on July 4th so they decided it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Not many major food events happening this weekend but that’s okay. It seems an American tradition to have cook-outs on July 4th with family [...]

Vendors you’ll see on the video and what they [...]

Reprise: Rain, Rain Go Away…In Time For The Weekend

By On June 5, 2009 · Leave a Comment

My apologies for getting the weekend run-down up so late. Blame it on a “weak” signal from Comcast. [Yes, I actually lived a day without internet access…and survived. The nervous tic should go away in a day or so.]

But I had a fun afternoon yesterday interviewing Patty and Brian Gianfelice at Pasqualina’s Italian [...]
