I made my way over to Brad’s Produce today. It was opening day and I ran over there just so that I could see what they had and to pick up asparagus and potatoes. I lucked out, Brad’s also carries a wide assortment of canned goods, many of which are their own produce. I picked […]

There is a stronger desire to savor the flavors and make it last longer than items I purchase pre-made or from the restaurant. Even if making the food costs […]

The Bel Air Farmer’s Market on Saturday was a success and I was able to come home with lettuce, green onions, cookies, potatoes and asparagus. Yum! I cooked some of the potatoes and the asparagus last night with steak on the grill. An easy local meal. I sauteed the asparagus in olive oil and garlic […]

The foods that are widely available today provide the calories that may sustain us but these foods do not nourish us. I am finding that I am approaching food with an near religious devotion. There are so many philosophical, ethical, evironmental and other issues to consider before we even get to the taste and texture […]
