Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes

Here's a one-dish quick vegan thing.  By quick, I mean, there's roasting time, but you're not busy then, you're on the couch then.  It's winter foods but bright and pretty enough to remind you that spring is coming. You can use different veg, use different spices, whatever, just toss in some potatoes with your veg and roast away. 

Buying Club 2011 - The Goods - Week 9

Ok, so a week ago I thought I'd find some clever way to do the buying club posts, and honestly, there's been a holiday and whatnot and so instead of being clever, I've come to terms with it.  You may not seek these posts out.  That's cool.  But I'll have them there to refer back to at least for the local folks ("wherever does she get that fluffy kale?")

Buying Club 2011 - The Goods - Week 8

I've joked about how when I was posting the CSA hauls, Facebook friends facetiously suggested I should post pictures of my groceries.  But now that's exactly what I do with The Goods.

Sure, they're local and wonderful, but in the end, you're looking at pictures of my yogurt and vegetables.

Actually, you're not looking at it.  I check.  Even Sous Chef Brian doesn't read these posts - which pisses me off, because then when he's like, "What's there to eat," I'm like, The Goods.  The Goods are what there is to eat.

Anyhow.

This week the broccoli didn't make it (weather too cold) and the tofu was expired.  So we got carrots and onions and potatoes and beef cubes for stew.  And we got leeks for potato leek soup, and brussels sprouts and both kale and lettuce for salads.   We got apple cider and milk and granola and some flour and amazing local hummus.

I'll think of something more exciting to do with this space - I want you to see the bounty of local foods.  If you have ideas, let me know.

Norwegian Cookies

Most of the time, that's what we call them.

"Norwegian cookies."
"The cones?"
"Yes."

Coffee Spill

Remember to take yesterday's coffee out of the pot before today's coffee brews. 


Also, we're kind of digging the ripply, bubbly look of this dried on spill, so we're not doing anything about it.
