It’s school vacation week, so I’ve had a couple of days at home. It was -17 degrees when I woke up this morning, so inside jobs took priority.
Lunch was from the pantry, which I continue to attempt to empty of various odds and ends as I can.
One small package of soba noodles, a few cashews [...]

Last night we got another ten inches of snow, and then another two inches fell during all the flurries today. In Concord, NH, they’ve received over 90 inches this winter. Here, an hour north of Concord, we’re into the triple digits.
But today, in the mail, on bright pink paper, I received my CSA sign up [...]

The Exchange, on NHPR, did a program this morning about the growth of organic producers (and, therefore, products!) here in NH. It’s an interesting listen, and dare I say, hopeful, even! Check it out!
Thanks, Laura Knoy!

This will be a different sort of update this time around, as I find myself having posted on my most local meal already (see Defiance). We’re drowning in snow around here, and it’s kind of hard to feel inspired. However, in nearly every meal we eat, there are local ingredients, many that I have frozen [...]

It would seem my last post about my yummy, char-grilled T-bone, was in defiance of more than the weather. The biggest-ever recall of beef has just been announced.
Buy your meat from people you can talk to, animals you can see. Store it in the freezer. Enjoy at will.

We grill a lot. Even during the winter. We’re fortunate to have an attached garage (something that was a deal-breaker when we were searching for houses almost 10 years ago – boy do we appreciate it this time of year!), and even with both our cars in there, we my husband can push the grill [...]

Things are pretty quiet around here lately. If you know anyone who lives in New England you may have noticed that they’ve settled into the winter doldrums, including a good snow storm every few days. Send us some warm thoughts, will ya?
Also, I need a new couch.

It’s the Super Bowl of outdoor sporting weekends here on the shores of Winnipesaukee!
Both the Great Rotary Fishing Derby and the Laconia World Championship Sled Dog Derby are in full swing. Luckily, we have about eight hours of mild temperatures and partly sunny skies before the next scheduled snow dump (8 more inches predicted [...]

Got snow? We do…
Here’s the road in front of our house:
Our driveway:
The woods:
Goodness, I enjoyed this little taste of summer in a jar!
These bread and butter pickles were really good, if I do say so myself. I will definitely make these again next summer.
We’ve been eating out of the freezer a lot these last two [...]
