I made a comment on Twitter Tuesday night that the beef stew in the oven was “…as close to 100% homegrown as we’ll get unless we invest in cows and a vineyard…” And I meant it. Of course, I was forgetting that we can totally make a 100% homegrown meal anytime we want to, just [...]

I know I just wrote about a red sauce for One Local Summer, but I made another tonight that I’m just delighted with. Mike, well, not so much. But that’s okay – if we agreed all the time what would we talk about over dinner? After playing with the tractor (I learned to drive it!), cleaning [...] See that big 103 over there?

A 2 pound 5 ounce hen, just bigger than a cornish game hen. Spatchcocked Butterflied and destined for the grill. But first, Hood Canal oysters picked up at the farmers market, grilled with a bit of local butter, homegrown [...] Tonight we ate the first asparagus from our garden, ever. E.V.E.R.

But our harvest should only get bigger every year. Thirty-five row feet has to [...] |
