Though you might think all we eat is pasta, indignantly – “no, no you say, that isn’t right!” The fact is, however, I love pasta. So often do we eat pasta that one might think that our Euro-mutt selves are indeed partially Italian. Unfortunately, no, at least to either Granola or my understanding. And pasta, [...]

We recently started our CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture, box pickup. We’ve been anticipating and excited for months about getting our weekly installments of fresh, locally grown vegetables to play around with in the kitchen.
