I confess. I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin pie. If I’m in the mood for an orange pie, I’ll pick sweet potato every time. When I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner, pumpkin pie rarely makes the cut. I love pumpkin in and with pasta, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake… you […]
This is a lovely quick bread with a dense texture similar to pound cake. But, it’s quite tart… by design. I love the sweet-tart aspect of lemon bars. So, my intent was to mimic that in a cake. Some might find it to be too tart. So, consider this fair […]
The Empire Apple This is an apple worthy of much love. Taking all the best of a McIntosh (flavor) and all of the best from a Red Delicious (crunch), you’re rewarded with the best of both worlds. But, like all great loves, you must take the good with […]
Or, you could say this is a Hennessy mojito without the sparkling water. But, I guess Hennessy Miami sounds better. I like to finely slice the mint leaves. This works in lieu of muddling.

Green Lynx Spider (female?) It’s hard to take pictures when your hands are shaking. This might not look very impressive. But, consider this, that leggy green spider is eating a very large carpenter bee. On my scale, that makes this scary/beautiful spider huge. And, it’s safe to say, […]
Three Black Krim Plants = Three Tomatoes One was claimed by the squirrels, the second (above) we picked early to save it from said squirrels, and the third is still on the vine. Will the last one survive? It’s a mystery.
After ripening […]
…And, beach plum jam I could buy some. Nah, that’s too easy. I think I’ll try to devise a convoluted recipe. This is my current plan: I Wanna Be Beach Plum Jam 1-2 large bunches of tart grapes, halved & seeded 2-4 […]
Mr Stripey doesn’t like the heat. Last year we had over 20 huge tomatoes. This year? We’ve seen about 10 tomatoes on the same number of plants. And, several of those 10 weren’t pretty. So, it would be a crime not to showcase the handful of gorgeous tomatoes […]
Fig + Ginger + Sugar = Yum
This isn’t really a recipe. It’s a bit like recycled food. After two weeks of fig preserve, we wanted something new to accompany our morning toast. So, I took what was left over from my 5 cups of […]
Lemon Cucumbers
Baby Breakfast Radish
Peppermint & Chocolate Mint
