I’ve been wanting to make ramen salad – it seems like an early summer dish. I’ve been tinkering with the recipe – in 2006, I thought you needed to put in the seasoning packs, and use lots of sugar. More recently, I have switched to the Mollie Katzen point of view – when cooking with […]
I made asparagus pizza for dinner tonight, and I liked it just as much as the first time. I put the pics on my Tumblr. But this one’s the best: I also got my first CSA box of 2014. I went right after work to pick it up with my bike, and I had my […]

Over the course of the summer, I’ve done three little lunchtime sessions for CSA box subscribers at a company here that makes furnace filters and dehumidifiers – air cleaning systems, basically.They have like 40 employees who are getting CSA boxes this year. The sessions aren’t really cooking classes – I just get a box when […]

I think the only work work I did today was email. Tomorrow will have to be a different story. I taught the 2nd of the three cooking demos at Aprilaire I’m doing this summer – #1 was back in June, and #3 will be October. They’re a company here in Madison that makes indoor air […]
Where I left off was Tuesday after the vegans – It was my first day back at work after Bootcamp. Catch up in the AM, then a planning retreat for a campus organization of which I am part in the PM. The lunch was boxed from Panera – I thought I was going to be […]
Last night we went to a dinner that featured food from some local CSA farms, including mine, Tipi Produce, paired with beer from a local microbrewery – One Barrel – oh, I guess they call themselves a “nanobrewery”. Anyways, the dinner was the first in a series, called Plough & Barrel, that benefit the local […]
Saturday: didn’t get out of bed until 8:20. Headed to the farmers market to brave the crowds, hoping the cloudy grey weather, that seems to be always threatening rain, would keep the riffraff down. No such luck. So we just shuffled along, with all the slowpokes. Since I got a CSA box just Thursday, I […]
Brought it home on my bike this afternoon. Asparagus, 2 lb; Rhubarb, 2 lb; Potatoes, 3 lb; Two young lettuces, red leaf and green leaf; Arugula, 1 small bunch; Green garlic, 1 bunch; Radishes, 1 bunch. The problem was, I had some of almost all of those things in the fridge already. Some steamed asparagus […]

It’s off to work we go. It’s Thursday afternoon and I’m sitting in my office waiting for a screen capture demo for my online searching course to upload to YouTube. I kind of have a headache, and the building is shaking from all the construction work outside, but there’s no point in leaving early, because […]
