Eating Out of the Box: The Penultimate Edition
The Farmer’s Almanac predicts an early fall and a cold winter for us in New England. Already, chilly mornings mean that I pull out the long sleeves for running. Apples have arrived at the farmer’s markets. Darkness falls earlier and earlier. … Continue reading

Eating Out of the Box: Vacation Scramble
The box arrived while I was on vacation and sat unattended in the fridge at work for four days, giving me much less time to take advantage of the bounty. The original haul included four ears of local corn which I … Continue reading

Eating Out of the Box, with Added Beauty

Life is just one damn thing after another. This was the sentiment on the birthday card I gave my wonderful husband last week. The quote is attributed to Elbert Hubbard, an American writer, publisher, artist, businessman, anarchist, and libertarian socialist philosopher. I’ve … Continue reading

I’ve been pretty low lately. The type of low in which popular songs on the radio bring me to tears*. Work is kicking my ass (and biting my ankles and just generally pantsing me). I’m trying to keep my chin … Continue reading
