Friday Food Thoughts


  • The garden is finally producing cucumbers and green beans!  And the basil is still kicking!
  • I ♥ winter squash.  Big time.  Especially, you, Delicata.
  • Kale is best eaten raw and regularly.
  • I need to take advantage of all the fresh herbs outside my backdoor.  Must make some herb salt! What’s your favorite thing to do with sage?
  • Preserved lemons, nutritional yeast, and red chili flakes are among my kitchen staples.
  • I haven’t wanted chocolate for months and with the change of weather I am craving it big time!  Must whip up some ganache pies.
  • With every garden tomato I bite into I am all too aware that it may be the last of the season.

What food thoughts are on your mind this Friday?

  1. Just wanted to say how happy it has been making me to see your posts in my Google Reader more often this week! I always love your posts.

    As for food thoughts…I’m thinking a trip to TJ’s in Short Pump may be in order for me this weekend–I’m craving their dried white peaches!

    I can’t think… My mind is full of ganache pie!

    Kale! I’m thinking of kale. For whatever reason, kale is extremely seasonal in Germany. I can only find it at the market in the winter. Now that the temps are cooler, I’m starting to get excited about kale. Especially in this dark and damp winter climate, I really need all the kale-goodness I can get.

    I have been thinking the same thing about our tomatoes. I’ll be sad when we stop getting them this year. Apple butter was on my mind yesterday (and today). I’m attempting to make it for the first time!
