Sharing

Although I’ve let this place go quiet I wanted to let you know about a few things I’ve been working on that are floating around the internet.
First let me introduce you to one of my favorite Summer treats. Coffee Granita. You’ll find the recipe on Artazza.com (in fact you can find several of my recipes [...]

Why I’ve stayed away from food

I have some explaining to do.
It’s happened a few times in my blogging career where I seem to just slip off into an unknown void. Without an explanation my words, pictures and food cease to exist in cyberspace. And I hate coming back here apologizing to you kind people for my absence because you are [...]

waiting

I’m waiting.
The recipe that I have to offer you tonight is still in the oven.  I thought maybe we could wait together.
Sooooo…. what’s new?
How have you been since the last time we talked?
Was it really just yesterday?
Have you seen these dishes?
And what about this corn? I know, right?!  FROZEN corn with mint of all things? [...]

tripping

I am so happy I married someone who knows his way around a computer.
Currently he is sitting to my right designing, programming and all-around creating a new website for me. Don’t worry – I’m not doing a complete overhaul of the blog – again. This time we’re working on a photography site – a happy [...]

Masters

I arranged for a babysitter before I knew what the evening agenda was. My husband knew and that was all that mattered.
The night before our less-than-ordinary evening away, Gabe handed me a glassine envelope thick with papers. In years past these strange and lovely envelopes have included cards for no reason other than to say [...]

a pass

I’d like to cash in my “Get out of Posting Free” card. Those exist right?
It’s not that I don’t have things to share. Because I do. And it’s not that I don’t want to spend time with you kind people. Because I do. It’s just that I’m so tired and I’ve sat here for more [...]

Tired, but i’m here

Oh man. Eek. I’m cutting it close tonight. 11:12pm my computer is telling me.
So let me just start with a little disclaimer – this post won’t be an award winner, it won’t be prolific  – in fact I have no idea what I am going to say. This here is the nitty gritty of NaBloPoMo [...]

More mushrooms for me

I interrupt the regularly schedule apple post to bring you an excursion in the woods. A heavy on photos light on words sort of a post that marks the – wait – what day is this? 6th post of 31. *gulp*
On Wednesday I went mushroom hunting. I really don’t know how I became so fortunate [...]

Mushroom Hunting

I have recently become aware of a sub-culture that exists in the ever growing world of food lovers. The people that exist in this culture are passionate, determined, generous, adventurous, tough, gentle and secretive. They are at times self-less and giving and conversely elusive and greedy. For the mushroom hunter, finding the perfect specimen is [...]
