Only my second update and tomorrow is the last day of the challenge. Therefore, I will also declare this my wrap-up!
It’s a text-only wrap up, too, as all of my data was able to be recovered from my lost hard drive with the exception of all photos I’ve taken in the last two months. Weird. [...]

Stinkin’ Hard Drives
Posted in Stinkin' Computers on October 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Ladies and gentlemen, there will be no photos this week.
Not that you’re here for the photos.
My computer died. Again. Just ten months ago I was justifying my ongoing love affair with Apple. After 12 years of Apple computers, I had lost one hard drive. How bad could that be?
I’m sure it’s a one time deal! [...]
Adventures in Littleton, NH

At the beginning of this month, on our way back from a long weekend in Montreal, we stopped in the charming town of Littleton, NH. It’s directly off of I-93, and we drove past the fast food stops and gas stations that are just off the exit. We were looking for the Littleton Grist Mill, [...]
Fried Green Tomatoes

We have several green tomatoes sitting on the windowsill. They were the last of the fruit and had really no chance of surviving the impending chilly nights.
So, we tried them fried, using this recipe (I added cayenne and garlic powder to the cornmeal).
The verdict?
Okay, I guess. How bad could fried, salted anything be? The tomatoes [...]
Eat Local Challenge Update

I have definitely not kept my original pledge to post weekly on my Eat Local Challenge progress. Two weekends in a row of traveling, visiting, birthday parties, high school reunions, fairs and, well, lots of apples, have thrown off my rhythm.
Perhaps the biggest local addition to our table this month has been homemade pantry staples. [...]
The Orchard Across the Street

All year I watch the apple trees.
I can see them out the front windows of my house, from the dining room table, from the living room couch, from the screen porch.
They’re not my trees. And they aren’t in my yard. They belong to the Inn across the street, which was once a farmhouse, not an [...]
Drive-by posting

It’s been two weeks since the beginning of the October Eat Local Challenge and I have done exactly zero update posts.
It’s not that I’m ignoring the challenge. It’s just that I’ve been a little distracted the last couple of weeks. In fact, I’ve only got a few minutes to update those of you who have [...]
