Waimea, originally uploaded by mbarsalou. Saturday my husband took me out climbing for the first time of the season. We went to a place in New Hampshire called Rumney Rocks.

Maple Syrup Open House
On Sunday I bribed my husband into going to the New Hampshire Maple Producers open house with me. We went to Folsom’s Sugar House in Chester. How did I bribe him? Maple Syrup Sundays… YUM. We listened to the owner talk a little about how he produces the maple syrup but the place was packed [...]

This is one of my new favorite dishes, I’m excited for the excesses in the garden this summer of eggplant, tomato, zucchini and summer squash because it will be delectable with cheese and portobello mushroom.

Chickens
Chicks
Quail Keets, originally uploaded by mbarsalou. Adam and I are planning to get chickens. A lot of it for me has to do with knowing exactly how the hens that produce my eggs have been treated.
