recipe: ratatouille and this week’s menu
September 7, 2010 by Sarah Klein · Leave a Comment
Ratatouille — I love this word. It’s a fun one to say and a treat to eat. My version simplifies matters by roasting the vegetables instead of sautéing each separately in a sauté pan. After a caramelizing roast in the oven, the veggies get doused in some good olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. [...]

Someone recently asked me how my summer was (as in past tense, over, done, finito) … I know it’s almost Labor Day, but as someone whose birthday typically lands on one of two days — either the last day of summer or the first day of fall — summer is most definitely not over (at [...]

The oppressive humidity and heat have finally lifted in Madison. Driving home last night, I had all the car windows open. With the breeze blowing in Pickle’s hair, he said to me, “it’s nice.” I had to agree. We’ve been eating loads of tomatoes and with reports of a possible late blight, everyone should eat [...]

beet lovers unite!
August 7, 2010 by Sarah Klein · Leave a Comment
I’ve have slowly come to the realization that there are two parties in this world: beet lovers and beet haters (no political affiliations here!). I am head-over-heels, a beet lover. Thankfully, Chris is too. Pickle is still on the fence. The beet haters, as I’ve come to learn, think that they taste like dirt. This [...]

Chris started his new job a few weeks ago, which means that he hasn’t been home until late most evenings. This has wrecked havoc on my nightly cooking routine since he would typically take Pickle on some sort of mini-adventure, providing me with 30 minutes of uninterrupted prep time — heaven. Without him, my menus [...]

Sorry, I’ve been MIA recently. With summer getaways and visitors, I’ve lost track of things. Let me catch you up! A couple of weekends ago, I went on a little mother-daughters’ weekend with my two sisters and my mom. I’ve never been away from Pickle for more than a day, so this was a big [...]

We picked up our CSA box last Saturday and then headed out of town for the 4th of July, so I just started cooking from our box of goodies yesterday. We had a lot of fun over the weekend, spending lots of time in the water. Pickle was in heaven and, as we learned that [...]

Magic. Some experiences are just that. First kisses, bonfires on the beach, your wedding day, a sudden shower that ends in a rainbow, dinner in a piazza in Italy. Any place or event can be magical if you are with the right people, at the right time, at the right location. Magic. At our picnic [...]
