Two Weeks, Behind the Scone: Recent Cooking, Bagels, Scones, Reading & Curries

I’ve been perusing Serious Eats (and wishing they’d read my mind and hand over my own vegan column already, jeez) quite a bit lately, and had to borrow one of their regular features as a title here, and hand it over to the past two weeks in my culinary life.  As I’m a bit nutty … Continue reading »

Photo Essay: Portland Farmers Market, Week #5

Apt title, swell visit.   A morning well spent.   Saturday’s visit to the Portland Farmers Market saw my basket full of early Albion strawberries, fresh kaffir lime leaves, purple kale, maitake mushrooms, heirloom carrots, and even more purple cauliflower during a visit early enough in the day to avoid most stroller wars, yet alas,  late … Continue reading »

Opening Day Visit: Portland Farmers Market

That may be the scene of late Saturday afternoon, but the morning offered a slightly damp yet rain-free and welcoming trip to the first Portland Farmers Market of the season. I usually have something of a dramatic countdown in place, but a stop by the albeit smaller but year-round farmers market at Peoples Coop a … Continue reading »

Portlanding: Farmers Markets, Pizza & Sweet Lemon

Sitting at my colorful kitchen table and sorting through the past months on my flickr, it settles in that I’ve been both traveling a bunch and sticking to something of a budget while I’ve actually been home. I credit my lack of a day job (accompanied by a return of sanity) and the 100 Days … Continue reading »

Heartichoke: Orange Watermelon & Jalapeño Mimosa

Happy theme change Monday! I actually made this cocktail in advance before my departure to New York, but as imagined, life is moving quickly, and since it’s hiatus, I can pretend weekdays don’t exist. What’s a girl to do when the thought of enjoying a spicy Bloody Mary for breakfast, even one made from heirloom tomatoes, … Continue reading »
