I love Windsor Dairy. Truly, Windsor is a world-class dairy, with the tastiest milk, butter, cream, and cheese on the planet. Like many great artists, though, logistics isn’t their strong suit. We’ve been cow-share members for nearly a year now, and each week is kind of a crap-shoot when it comes to whether or not [...]

Spice with Style

Shame on us….shame on us! Nearly 2 months since our last post on DINKS. I’ll not bother to make excuses. Better to just….post! For those of you who have ever visited our humble abode (which we now OWN, by the way), you’ll know that ours is a one-fanny kitchen. To make that work, you’ve either [...]

Two weeks ago, Mark, Junior and I drove to Boone, CO to get a pig. No, we haven’t added pigs to our pet menagerie, but we did come home with about 100 pounds of frozen pork. Not just any pork, but free-range, 100% grass-fed pork, raised with utmost respect by Kim and Doug, the lovely [...]
Homemade “Hamburger Helper”.
Posted in food, recipes, tagged cooking, recipes on November 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We keep pretty traditional roles in this house — most things culinary are my domain (except for weekend breakfasts), and I maintain our social calendar (something that goes by the wayside too easily when you have kids). Car/house maintenance and finances are all Mark’s. Occasionally, though, planning skills fail me, and I find myself working [...]
4 Halves are Better than Two

I rarely feel the need to share “brilliant child” stories, but what the heck, I’ll make an exception. Just this once. Really. A few nights ago at dinner, I made roasted peaches for dessert. Junior wanted 2 peaches, but we try to discourage outright gluttony in our house, unless oatmeal raisin cookies are involved. So [...]
Tomatoes – A Good Thing

We simply can’t get enough of a good thing. Having spent most of last Sunday in the kitchen preparing all those peaches, and canning two gallons of tomato sauce, we really had no desire to “put up” more food this week. But, alas, the lure of ripe tomatoes was too great to resist. An eleventh [...]
Galumpki – Just like Mom Used to Make
Posted in cooking, family, food, recipes, whole food, tagged cooking, family, recipes, whole food on September 26, 2008 | 5 Comments »
MaryBeth’s mom is an incredible cook. And not a month goes by that MaryBeth doesn’t call her up for a recipe, a temperature, or a secret ingredient. This month, it was for Galumpki. It doesn’t matter that MaryBeth’s family is not Polish…she grew up in Western Massachusetts where every third family is, so Kielbasa and [...]
Applesauce – for free (sort of)!

Recently we had one of those experiences where the marketing of the event differed greatly from the reality. Sort of like the movie trailer that made the movie appear to be worth the $10 ticket price only to find out that the trailer showed the best three minutes of the movie and that much you [...]
Old Dogs…New Tricks
Posted in baking, cooking, food, recipes, whole food, tagged baking, food, recipes, whole food on August 6, 2008 | 3 Comments »
We’d like to think that we are “up” on current trends even if we decide not to participate (like pants that you wear around your knees instead of your hips or waist) but every once in a while something seems to have slipped past us completely without even a whisper. Given our combined parental and [...]
Zucchini Week at the Sidewalk Cafe
Posted in cooking, food, recipes, sidewalk cafe, whole food, zucchini, tagged cooking, recipes, sidewalk cafe, whole food on July 31, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Last week, while watching the kids cruise bikes and scooters up and down the street, our neighbor casually mentioned the abundance of zucchini in his backyard. To drive the point home his daughter came screaming from the house that she had just “found another one” that was at least 10″ long. Whether she was excited [...]
