Another new veggie in my La Finca CSA veggie share, to me, were these beautiful, curly garlic scapes. I figured out what they were by looking at and tasting them – the new tops of garlic, mild, crunchy, but still garlicky. Basically, in flavor, what the chive or scallion top is to an onion. I…

Opened this day with lovely, (almost) freshly-picked berries and a good, strong cup of (decaf, ha) coffee. Nice! I’d make myself a salad of beets with sauteed beet greens for lunch, but instead I’ll be happily lunching with Marge, Stacey, and Coop at the Good Earth at the Galleria. If it’s sunny, I’m back here…

Auriga baby, oh yeah. Yeah! John and I had our first date there, way back at the end of 1999. Blind date, no less, set up by Stacey, who was living with me, and John and Stacey’s mutual friends Shane and Kathleen Coen. He was there before me, sitting in the bar, with a glass…

What the? That was my reaction upon first laying eyes upon…kolhrabi. Hey, I think I know alot about veggies, I eat and cook with a ton of them, but when it arrived in my CSA veggie share last week, I didn’t quite know what to do with it. So I googled it, and discovered that…

Happy 4th my friends! A pretty quiet day today…Tom, Valerie, Allegra, and Cameron went home this morning. We really miss them, it was a very special, blast of a weekend. A good hang, as Tom would say, definitely a good hang. Stace and the Coopster were here for the afternoon. Of course Coop is growing…

Group lunch at Big Bowl today – mighty tasty. From there, John and Tom took the kids to play frisbee golf, while the lovely Valerie and I did a little shopping…little Pottery Barn here, little Anthropologie there, little damage to the ol’ pocketbook. (Good thing Alfred’s was closed for the holiday weekend…damn, how I lurve…

Feliz Cumpleanos Kimmy! More of the same, I have to say. Family fun in the sun. And it really stands out to me, it means alot, because there have been some seriously melancholy 4th of July weekends in my life. So to have Tom, Val, and the kids here, and today Stacey and Cooper, I’m…

Busy day of swimming, playing, cooking, eating, traveling (for Valerie). Thought we were going to lose our sun for a while there, but then it came back, and a gorgeous late afternoon has morphed into a beautiful evening. We’ll hope for more of the same tomorrow… OK, time to round up the kids and think…
