Goodness gracious, are you still there? I’m afraid my little spot on the web here has been sorely neglected while I went galivanting across Italy (and, as a bonus, spent an unplanned night in Amsterdam!).
Well, I’m happy to say that all of us (me and my husband, my parents and my brother) survived the [...]

Today we are heading out for vacation (with my parents and my brother, I might add – oh, the hilarity!). Where to?
Rome:
Florence:
and Venice:
(All photos from FreeFoto.com. Here’s hoping it’s just as sunny as it is in the photos!)
My dad has always wanted to see Venice, so we figured we’d better take him before [...]

For Christmas, my boss got me this great cookbook:
Shelburne Farms is a working farm/national historic landmark and educational center in Shelburne, VT. Their mission, quite simply, is to “cultivate a conservation ethic.” This cookbook is great because it’s organized by ingredients one would find on a working farm in upstate Vermont, things like early spring [...]

Okay, so this photo didn’t really turn out the way I wanted, but I can’t resist posting these funny ducks who have taken up residence in what is actually a giant snow-melt puddle in the orchard across the street. They’ve been swimming and diving and sticking their butts up while they chew the grass off [...]
The World Food System

Here’s an interesting, short blurb that ran on PRI’s The World today. I think Raj Patel does a nice job of coming up with a metaphor for the production and distribution of the world’s food. If you have four minutes, give it a listen. I might pick up his book, Stuffed and Starved (Amazon link [...]
Thank you!

Dear Laura,
I posted my final Dark Days food post already, but I just wanted to give you a big shout out for keeping Dark Days going all winter. You managed to keep this crazy bunch together through traveling for work, putting your house on the market, house hunting AND moving.
I’m not sure where you get [...]

Well, a couple months ago, our driveway looked like this:
Now, at least we can see the dirt:
We’re still getting some sap:
But the compost bucket is still in the snow:
And the woods are hard to walk in because you never know when you’ll sink in, a good two feet in some spots. But the stream is [...]

We didn’t end the Dark Days Eat Local Challenge Plus with a bang. There was no big, showy, local feast. There wasn’t any pig roast or barbeque or a party of any sort. No, March 31st came and went with me eating at a chain restaurant.
My husband should be commended for making [...]
