• Dark Days, week 4

  
  fast grow the weeds — Authority: 415
  For this week’s Dark Days dinner, the selected meal was a pantry-raided, complex-carbohydrate-rich affair. We were itchy for something toothsome the night before, so the next day I baked some beans and bread.  Baked beans, bread and salad:  simple, hearty fare that was so welcome on this, the first harsh night ...

• Dark Days week 3: Comfort food

  Thank you to those who pointed out to me last week that the first law of moving says that one must not try to cook while moving. :) I assure you that after cleaning out the kitchen, we did indeed indulge in some meals out. Moving Van Day was followed by a meal consisting of turkey leftovers graciously given to us by ...

  I confess we’re not much for leftovers here. It has been argued that making “extra” food might save you time later:  that, say, doubling your rice means you have enough to quickly make a stir-fry, or pudding.  Knowing me, knowing my family, knowing the Black Hole of Shame that our refrigerator becomes if I ...

  Our Thanksgiving was fabulously local, and mostly home-grown.  But I’m not going to blah-blah about Thanksgiving for Week 2.  Nope.  Saturday night’s dinner will be discussed instead. The Dark Days Challenge was put together by Laura of (not so) Urban Hennery to get people to try to eat locally at least one ...

  Chocolate Crayons & More — Authority: 115
  Really, I should call this meal, "Clean out the fridge before you move and cook it all in one frypan." The cookbook where I saw the original recipe named it "Sludge," but I didnt think that sounded too appetizing so Ive renamed it, "Concoction." Just like last weeks one-pot meal, this one can make use of almost ...

  Tick tock, big roof bird:  Thanksgiving dinner For a nonreligious family whose head cook is admittedly a bit food-mad, Thanksgiving remains THE holiday of the year. We’re on track (again) for an all-local meal, with about 85-90% of all the ingredients grown and raised right here.  Cider and wine from 5 miles ...

• One local dinner (week 1)

  The 3rd Annual Dark Days Challenge begins today, and I celebrated by cooking an almost an entirely local dinner without even planning it! For those unfamiliar with the challenge, the goal is to eat one meal/week which is made up of only foods found locally. Easy in summer, tougher in winter. Many people preserve ...

• Dark Days challenge, week one

  
  fast grow the weeds — Authority: 415
  To start off this challenge with a big bang, how about a local dinner for 50? Granted, this dinner was in the works long before I signed up for the Challenge .  As some of you may know, I am very involved with food and food issues at our daughter’s school.  We have a garden, we source local foods, we spend ...
