Downshifting on the outskirts of Beantown
Honeyed Rhubarb Jam
Dang, it’s been awhile. What can I say? I’ve been up to my ears in work (at the farm, at the other farm, at the restaurant, at home), and there is no such thing as a day off around here, right now, at least. But according to my observation of the most accomplished and seemingly-fulfilled […]
The Passage
April 6, 2013
About three months ago, I had no idea what was to become of the life I pieced together over at Howard Street. For an instant, it felt as though everything I had become so used to was about to be ripped from my being. It’s not that I don’t like change; I’m just not too […]
Curried Cauliflower and Parsnip Soup
March 4, 2013
I’m terrible at following recipes. Or rather, I’m seemingly incapable of taking the time to seek out recipes and then prepare dishes accordingly.

In doing so, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be healthy, and how so many, regardless […]
Guide to Joining a CSA
February 3, 2013
As a workshare receiving produce for volunteer work at a CSA-based farm in my city, I find it hard to tell anyone to NOT join a CSA, an acronym for Community Supported Agriculture (a business model in which shareholders pay in advance for a produce “share” they receive in installments over the growing season or […]
Honeyed Mandarin Orange Marmalade
February 1, 2013
My first 2013 canned preserve will likely be my last at my current residence. Bittersweet, I know… just like this beauty of a fruit spread. The lower-sugar mandarin orange marmalade utilizes the whole fruit for its hidden pectin, incredible flavor, and bright hue. Honeyed Mandarin Orange Marmalade Yields about 7 half-pints Ingredients: about 4 lbs mandarin […]
