My Farm Share Week 15 Wrap Up
Good Morning All! As promised, I got my rump off the couch this week and did something with the vegetables we received. I made a really yummy, soul-warming Cream of Potato-Celery Soup with the potatoes, celery, 2 of the onions, thyme, chicken stock, butter and half-and-half. It was a great way [...]

My Farm Share Week 15
Good Morning Farm Share fans! Let me first acknowledge the fact that I did not do a wrap-up post yesterday telling you what I did with last week’s farm share. The reason is that I felt like total ca-ca last week and I did absolutely nothing inspired with the vegetables. Sorry, but [...]

Link of the Week: Maytag Dairy Farms
The people who know me very well, know that I have a fixation on all things Iowa. Everything from caucuses to cheese. I’m just joking about the caucuses, but I am serious about the cheese. My favorite American blue cheese comes from Maytag Dairy Farms in Newton, Iowa.
I first learned about Maytag blue cheese when [...]

My Farm Share Week 14
Good Morning! Our box this morning reminds me of Christmas, with all the shades of red and green. This morning was a bit chilly too, which really puts me in the spirit!

Well, this week’s farm share ended better than it started. As you may recall, my red tomatoes were smooshed beyond use and had to be sacrificed to the compost gods. Very sad. It took me a couple of days to get over the loss. But, I moved on to give the [...]

My Farm Share Week 13
It’s lucky Week 13! Unfortunately, some of the tomatoes were not so lucky as they were placed at the bottom of the box and were a bit smooshy by time I received them. It’s a real shame, actually. I would hope that the individuals packing these boxes would have more respect for [...]

My Farm Share Week 12 in Review
As we only received 5 items in this week’s farm share, it was super easy to get it all eaten in time for tomorrow’s delivery.
When my husband cut into the watermelon, we discovered it was canary yellow inside! What a happy surprise! One of my friends kept suggesting that I make margaritas with [...]
