We are in the final stretch of the year and when people ask how it’s going right now, my response is that these last three months may be the hardest yet, and on some levels I’m totally over it. It’s harvest season and, yes, food is abundantly available and we’ve gotten really good at sustainingContinue reading “A recipe for vulnerability”

Locavore Potluck on Tuesday August 13th: Eat local with us!
Today I found out that we actually got the ear of the much discussed SF Chronicle writer, and she published a response to readers regarding her story, which includes a direct link to our post. I’m not going to comment on her calculated response; I have said enough! I do want to invite you toContinue reading “Locavore Potluck on Tuesday August 13th: Eat local with us!”
Candy Cap Mushroom Ice Cream Recipe
I love my mom for many reasons. But, I especially love it when she comes to visit and I wake up to a yummy local breakfast, and a clean stove. Apparently I do did not inherit the gene that motivates you to wipe down the stove after every meal (or the one that makes youContinue reading “Candy Cap Mushroom Ice Cream Recipe”
How to cook beans (not from a can)
People often ask us what has been the hardest thing about eating locally. Most of what we do is not inherently difficult; the biggest challenge is rearranging one’s life around cooking whole foods for every single meal, every day. This requires a complete lifestyle overhaul. We must always think ahead and I rarely leave theContinue reading “How to cook beans (not from a can)”
How the jars fill up
After a week of not seeing Gowan (which feels like an eternity in locavore time) we made a dinner date for tonight. When comparing kitchen stock and discussing who would bring what, Gowan asked the dreaded question, “Do you have salt?” I hesitated to answer, because I knew my stores were running low, but IContinue reading “How the jars fill up”
Eat Mendocino in the Real Estate Magazine
Dear readers, I know, it’s been awhile. Last month I used up all of my words writing this article for the Real Estate Magazine, which defies its name to feature local human interest stories. I was excited to be invited to write the cover story for last month’s issue and it’s created a real buzzContinue reading “Eat Mendocino in the Real Estate Magazine”
morning of our Farm to Table Dinner
This evening we’re feeding dinner to the community. We hope you’re coming! Today will be a lot of rushing around, coordinating harvesting, picking flowers, laying out the jewelry I’ve been making, and watching our beloved chef Matt glide around unconcernedly deciding what he’s going to make out of the mountain of local food we’re assembling.Continue reading “morning of our Farm to Table Dinner”

The Magic of Milk
I don’t think I have opened the fridge and poured myself a glass of milk since I lived in my parents’ house. And even then, I do not remember this as a familiar action. I never loved the taste of store-bought milk, nor craved it. I found it thin & tasteless and didn’t believe itContinue reading “The Magic of Milk”
Resolutions
We are approaching the two week mark of eating, drinking and breathing local, and we are very much alive and well-fed. Please don’t think that we have forgotten about our dear readers/followers/skeptics during the kickoff of the big project. We think of you often. The days are just packed; we are in a constant flowContinue reading “Resolutions”
