CanORama II

September 28, 2009

Last week, my friend, Eris, came by to make a batch of salsa – the last batch of the season. Eris and her husband, John, and brother in law, Jeff, run Norman’s Farm Market, fantastic farmstands around the Washington, DC area. Their Market has been my source for a good bit of the locally grown [...]

New Beginnings

September 21, 2009

Today the website for Wooden Spoon Classes launched. It’s very exciting. Click here to check it all out. I’m very pleased with the whole thing and thank Liz from Design291 for all her hard work. It’s a new direction for Mrs. Wheelbarrow, and appropriately enough, just recently, we celebrated the Jewish New Year. In honor [...]

My Favorite Dessert, At Least for Today

September 18, 2009

I love pound cake. It’s so pure and simple. Pound cake is a wonder. You can make it on Sunday and it still tastes fresh and delicious on Thursday. You can warm it in the toaster and slather on a little jam. Have it a la mode. Cut a skinny little sliver and nibble it [...]

All Day Eggplant Parmesian

September 14, 2009

Got together with two girlfriends Friday night. We each talked about our lives as we hadn’t gathered in awhile, but when I said “I spent the entire day making eggplant parmesian,” they both laughed like crazy. How could it take an entire day to make eggplant parm? Rather than defend myself at the time (wine [...]

My Own Can O Rama

September 13, 2009

Labor Day weekend was, for me, quite laborious. But worth it. Check out the larder. About a week before, I read about the CanORama going on nationwide. Naturally, I read about it the day after it started. And that was a busy weekend for me – no really, I’m not making excuses. I thought it [...]

Life in Transition – and a Recipe

September 2, 2009

I haven’t written much about Food52, and now seems like a good time. Because it’s come at an interesting moment in my life. Food52 is a fascinating concept – a website started by Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, that will seek out recipes from cooks around the country – some pros and some, like me, [...]

The Spirit is Willing

August 30, 2009

I’m just bone tired. Laundry has beaten me down. Who can believe so much laundry is created by five adults in nine days. I’ve missed writing about our days at the beach, but did chronicle it in photos. I’ll be back in a couple of days, after I finish the ironing.

Indian Flatbread

August 26, 2009

I did warn you that I’m a little crazy when it comes to planning food for our beach week. This is the first year I decided to make an Indian dinner – a new level of crazy as it involved bringing 11 spices to the beach. It was a wonderful dinner and everyone was happy [...]
