I made Ricotta Gnocchi about a week ago for dinner. It was this months challenge for the Daring Cooks over at the Daring Kitchen. I am not sure that I have ever had the traditional potato gnocchi before so I have little to compare it to. This was so very tasty. It was easier to make than [...]

I have a few “UnFinished Objects” hanging around here. Let’s start by talking Christmas cards. For years I sent handmade cards out to my entire list of people. Then 2006 came along and this is as far as I got.

Today, the kickoff of my “grocery Challenge” I get stuck with an entire extra CSA box…figures. I’ve been delivering to a gal for the entire summer…ALL summer and never, ever has she just not been there, not called, nothing.

While I have seen with my own eyes that we are blessed with a bounty unknown to much of the world, there is no denying these are hard times for us in the USA. Who knows where the economy will head next, what will we do if our banks fail us, how did we get [...]
