Some may think it’s weird for feeling nostalgic over a piece of cheese but this past weekend when I bit into some havarti with dill all I could think about was picnic sessions in the arboretum and adventures out to singing beach. Not only am I excited for warm weather coming our way but also [...]
Read more →I can’t decide if I love or hate this, but either way I wanted to share this gem with the crow world. I’m always trying to think of creative ways to have quality loose leaf tea at work- but don’t want to spare either of my Finum tea filters from home. image c/o the Kitchn
Read more →Thanks to an awesome cookbook bestowed onto me by my mother-crow called “The thousand recipe Chinese cookbook” by Gloria Bley Miller, I’ve committed myself (at least temporarily) to a one-meat-a-week diet. This book teaches cooks how to start the week with one type of meat, cooked __ way, and then use that already cooked meat in the rest of [...]

The most common Pretty Things I see around is the Jack D’OR but this past weekend I stumbled upon this new variety: Once Upon A Time…a recreation [...]

Haymarket filled a great void for cheap produce in my early years of cooking, but now that I have a little more money to spend, [...]
Read more →Last Thursday I unintentionally made dinner from items that were all purchased at the Brigham Circle Farmer’s Market or picked from my back porch. Of course this would exclude olive oil salt and pepper, maybe some day I will be blessed with an olive grove, salina, and pepper vines (?), but for now those extras [...]
Read more →The Crows That Be have bestowed a login upon yours truly, Mo Tracey. I made a brief guest “caw” over a year ago with a post about recycling, which was really a thinly-disguised attempt to justify the obscene quantity of beer, wine, and liquor vessels that had piled up in my foyer (pronounced the French [...]
Read more →Too much mint and jalapenos? How about some lite summer snacking of homemade salsa and guac with an iced cold pitcher of mojitos to wash it all down. That’s what VBar, Emily and I were up to a couple weeks ago. I can’t believe I forgot how delicious and easy making your own salsa is! [...]
