It is that delicious time of year when things are starting to come to fruition in the garden. I picked just enough vegetables for dinner tonight and made a variation of my favorite pasta dish…aglio e olio. Click here and here for earlier posts with pictures on how to make this dish with a recipe.

Lobster Killer!
This post is part shameless self-promotion, but also self-interest. It’s self-promotion because it refers to–and is linked to–an article I recently wrote for Artvoice weekly paper. The article chronicles my chagrin at having to kill 120 lobsters (yes I had to do it if I wanted to keep my job). This may not bother someContinue reading “Lobster Killer!”

Really Good Food From A Really Small Garden
If you’ve been to this blog before then you know that it is mostly about using a bike as a regular form of transportation, but it’s also about food (that I grow and cook), and about living simply (which is the most difficult thing, I think). At-any-rate, I am a proponent of getting rid ofContinue reading “Really Good Food From A Really Small Garden”

Tortellini alla Giardino
This is a simple recipe that is only partially true to it’s title..it is not entirely alla giardino (from my garden), but there are a few things. Mainly, I’ve had a Swiss chard plant that grows back almost as fast as I eat it (there are worse problems), and the basil is already in fullContinue reading “Tortellini alla Giardino”

Seafood Penne Rigate Fra Diavolo
This is one of my favorite pasta preparations. I could eat this, or a variation of it, three times a week and not tire of it. Not surprisingly I had it for dinner the other night (made with tilapia). To see an earlier post, complete with the recipe’s history, etymology, pictures, directions, and recipe, clickContinue reading “Seafood Penne Rigate Fra Diavolo”

Stuffed Grape Leaves Recipe with Photos
A few years ago I planted a single grape vine in my backyard and am amazed at how it took off…come autumn I have more grapes than I can consume. For the past few years I’ve said I was going to make wine (something I’ve never done) and I still haven’t…this may be the year.Continue reading “Stuffed Grape Leaves Recipe with Photos”
