Greenmarket Grub
« Previous EntriesIt’s all so clear to me now.
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008Why people started buying their fruits and vegetables from the nice, shiny, sanitary grocery store:
Never has the category “Greenmarket Grub” seemed so apt. I found this dude (and family? what the hell are those little black spots?) in my peaches. Not that it’s going to stop me from from buying food at the Greenmarket in […]
An old foe, vanquished.
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008About six years ago, I had just moved into in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood and before I’d even unpacked all the our boxes, I signed up for Urban Organic’s home delivery service.
The first week’s delivery sat at the wrong door of the brownstone in 93° heat all afternoon. I called and gave them […]
A review and a question.
Thursday, July 26th, 2007I’ve never really liked honey.
I’ve always felt it was okay for certain situations — in tea when you’re sick, mostly. So, when I ran out recently, I wasn’t in any great rush to buy more, seeing as I’m not due to get a cold for another couple months at least.
Still, when I saw […]
“Brown as a Berry”
Sunday, July 15th, 2007My mom is half Greek. I’m pretty sure if she merely thought hard enough about the sun, you could actually watch her get tan.
My mom has told me that when she was a kid, her (non-Greek) grandmother would remark she was as brown as a berry from the summer sun, although she never knew […]
A mystery revealed.
Sunday, July 8th, 2007I bought arugula and it wilted almost immediately. My broccoli rabe, too. I flung them into the compost bag and bought more yesterday.
This morning, the arugula is… not beyond hope, but it’s no longer salad material. Pesto, maybe.
Now I’m on a mission to find out what the hell is going on. Is my fridge […]
Arugula
Thursday, July 5th, 2007I’ve got a giant bunch of it…
…and no idea what to do with it.
Suggestions?

ELC Day… something… 5?
Friday, May 25th, 2007Went to the Union Square Greenmarket today. Maybe I’m just tired of going there or maybe there were less farmers there because it’s the Friday before a long weekend, but I just didn’t see a damn thing I wanted. I still bought the following:
- apples ($3.00 for 3 lbs)1
- gai lohn ($3.00)2
- 1/4 lb of […]
ELC Day 3

- cheese (about .3 lbs for $7.00)
- a […]

The apples and asparagus were $5.95.
The bread was […]
Countdown to Eat Local Challenge
Friday, May 18th, 2007First, let me say, I am in a cooking — and blogging — rut.
My kitchen started to fall into disarray while my mother-in-law was visiting: the sink and counter filled with dishes, the floor became a dumping ground for the stuff we bought while she was here. It fell even further into decay when […]
