At long last, we have the menu planned. I have to qualify this and say that I’m trying to practice flexibility and not get all Martha about it. That makes me crazy and then I don’t enjoy myself. So, with that said, let’s call this the preliminary menu, subject to change without notice.
As I said [...]

Travel Oregon put together a really awesome Oregon-themed cookbook that highlights autumn ingredients. The recipes are gathered from restaurants around Oregon. What a great idea. Methinks I’ll be printing this out and trying a bunch of stuff, including the crazy-but-very-right-sounding Juniper Granita. Between this cookbook and the Bon Appetit Thanksgiving planner, I think I’ll be [...]

Did I wake up this morning and it’s already September 1st? How is that possible? And yet, already I feel those strange cool breezes and notice the sun acting funny, setting a lot earlier than it should. Alas, I have a mere twenty-one days of summer left to enjoy.
Thankfully, the weather actually seems to be [...]

Look, Look, LOOK at this!!!
It’s my first garden salad of the year! By that I mean that I grew everything in this bowl. Well, I didn’t grow it, I put the seeds in the ground and they grew themselves, like great little children. And now, I must eat them!
What we have here are: spinach, rouge [...]

When I was a kid, my parents would often take my older sisters, brother, and I back to their small hometown in California’s Central Valley. Think cotton fields, dust, unbelievable heat, drive-in movie theaters, strawberry soda, and the smell of alfalfa everywhere. One of my uncles, whom I’ll call Floyd Owens, was a real character. [...]

Seems like I haven’t posted a recipe in a while, though I have been working on several. Here’s a photo of the very scientific way in which recipes are developed at AFFFG:
This lime ice cream was created as a result of the heap of key limes we had leftover after the keylime cheesecake experiment (which [...]

I feel like the nutty professor that’s always late, always arriving in rumpled jeans and with post-it notes stuck in her uncombed hair. I’m not really like that, I swear, but my ability to keep my blog updated lately seems to have suffered a major setback. I’m going to blame it on the change of [...]

A couple of weeks ago, our neighbors brought over a ten-pound bag of carrots, announcing that they were taking a last-minute trip and would like to give us the contents of their fridge. I was grateful, but at the same time thinking: do I look so desperate? Here’s what I did with all those carrots.

Okay, you’re desperate. You want something e-a-s-y. You want to go to the store, come home, and toss it in the oven. And it needs to be good.
So here you go: last-minute holiday roast. I actually made this last night, so I can tell you that it’s good and made with stuff I have around–trust [...]
