Fall Flowers
Flowers from my travels over the weekend.
CSA 2011, Week 18
This week’s haul was: peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, Romano beans, broccoli, and dinosaur kale. The cooking highlight of last week was this: Orecchiette with Sage, Roasted Garlic, Cauliflower, and Prosciutto. It takes a bit of time, but was super easy to make, and so very good.

I did the pick up this week, so the above is the entire haul for the week before I took out my mother’s half. The varieties from top left to right (and left to right again) are: Wolf River, Red Baron, Milden, Sweet Sixteen, Red Blaze, and Chestnut.

The Gates – John Connolly
Read for the RIP VI Reading Challenge. Young Samuel Johnson decided to show some initiative and trick or treat a full three days before Halloween. That’s why he happened to be at 666 Crowley Road when the Abernathys decided to raise a demon. Samuel figures out pretty early on that none of the adults are

CSA 2011, Week 17
This week’s haul is: leeks, garlic, bell peppers, red onions, winter squash, and sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes were an experiment this year, and Ralph said he didn’t expect much out of them, but they ended up with 1500 pounds, so they’ll definitely be doing them again, which is really exciting. In cooking highlights, I

Further Adventures in Domesicity
Monday’s canning adventure (yes, I’m a little late to the post) was Plum Cardamom Jam from Liana Krissoff’s Canning for a New Generation. I had the above, plus a nearly full half pint jar to sample. It’s really good jam. Like eat out of the jar with a spoon good. It’s not overly sweet, and

Fables 13: The Great Fables Crossover – Bill Willingham, et al
I haven’t read Jack of Fables yet, mostly because I find Jack to be a pretty obnoxious character. But, having him back in the realm of the main storyline again, I can see that his side story seems to have some interesting other characters, so I’m a little more inclined to read it now. This

Fables 12: The Dark Ages – Bill Willingham, et al
The rebels in Fabletown have brought down the Adversary, and would like to think that peace will now reign in all the Fable worlds. But, this being a world of fairytales, we all know that there’s still evil lurking around the corner, and this evil is far worse than anything they’ve ever encountered before. This

Read for the RIP VI Reading Challenge. Edward Moon is a conjurer. With his partner, the larger than life Somnambulist, he makes a living in his own theater in late Victorian London.
