Tomato gluteny I have tomatoes coming out of my ears. Goldies, Black Zebras, Purple Calabashes, Aunt Ruby’s Yellow Cherries, Yellow Pears, San Marzanos, Wonder Lights, Sweet 100s, Des Andes, etc., etc. Purple Calabash Black Zebra Wonder Light Goldie San Marzano I’ve been giving the cherries away like mad because I just cannot [...] I know after all those posts last week I’ve kind of disappeared again this week, but it’s because I bit off a bit more than I could chew with the canning and the sewing this week. Bought a bushel of roma tomatoes on Monday and set to work making tomato sauce, and holy cow was that [...] Canning Across America's Photo of the Week! How cool is this? Be sure to check out Canning Across America’s blog and Flickr pool — great stuff. Long live [...] You know I just had to get right on top of the canning once I got back to the city this week. I noted as part of my grocery restocking when we got back from Wabakimi that we were out of relish. I was about to add it to my shopping list when I thought, hold [...] Yesterday was the first of my two-day G20 holiday, and all week the weather report for Thursday has been up and down.

That said, I’ve never been able to keep which ones [...] Chris and I took Friday off so that we could do up a big Family Day / Valentine’s Day weekend at the cottage. It’s the first time we’ve been able to get there this winter, and of course this time we had the added challenge of taking Luna on her first big weekend road trip. We’d tried [...] I meant to post about these back in November, when my colleague at work, graphic designer Matt Webb designed them for me. I paid him in pickles. Custom labels by Matt Webb He used my own photography as the background and I had him make two sizes, one to fit the standard-sized jars and the other to [...] Roasted Butternut Squash Soup I’ve had this lovely squash sitting in my fruit bowl on my counter for at least a month (I love how long squashes keep!) and I finally got around to doing something with it this week. I wanted to share this recipe because it’s so ridiculously simple and luxurious. And [...] |
