How Does Your Garden Grow?
Posted under salads on June 27, 2008
Usually I plant my garden on Mother’s Day with my husband and the boys –it is their annual gift to me.
This year, we did things a bit differently. We had someone help us with the yard and basically ripped all the flowers out of the beds and replanted with edibles. This took place [...]
Mango Chicken
Posted under entrees on June 24, 2008
My favorite thing about the picture above? The cilantro on the Mango Chicken and in the glass cup is from my garden. Now, that’s something to get pumped about considering I barely have a yard. And what little yard I do have is taken over by a trampoline for the boys.
We live [...]

The boys were buzzed this afternoon –their hair that is. Now the little baldies will be nice and cool in the warm weather.
It hasn’t been all that hot though lately. In fact, we’ve had many cloudy afternoons and so far this summer haven’t made it to the pool yet. I have a [...]

Baseball is indeed over. However, all-stars have begun and my son and several of his little cohorts are on the team. We are now therefore faced with practice daily from 5:30 to 7:30. Thank goodness I am not coaching!
I will however, be providing the team with lots of snacks and good beverages such [...]

This relatively new socio-economic concept changes the way food is produced, distributed and sold, creating small scale closed markets for farmers in which the [...]

Baseball is finally over. We lost in the semifinals yesterday to the Rockies. It was a good game; we fought to the end.
This last week, the tournament had virtually taken over our lives with 7 games straight, all during dinner time. This successfully disturbed the rhythm and routine in my household, so [...]
Survey Says: Candy Bars
Posted under desserts on June 6, 2008
Baseball is what it’s all about in our house these days. We lost in the main bracket of the post-season tournament and are now playing in the consolation round and doing well. We were winning our game yesterday against the Red Socks and had the game postponed due to rain in the bottom of [...]
Thai Iced Tea
Posted under beverages, desserts on June 3, 2008
We are in the middle of our little league baseball tourney (presently in quarterfinals) and play tonight to see if we can advance to the semis. My older son has been playing first base while the little one is bat boy.
We have had much fun, though it is getting quite competitive and the team [...]
