Tonight we had huge noodle bowls for dinner, relying on fresh produce and poultry from our back yard or Conway Locally Grown. These noodle bowls are packed with veggies, spice, and cooling coconut milk (which, alas, is not local at all). Unfortunately, after I planned the dish, I discovered that my neglected fresh ginger was [...]

We’re bursting out with spring all over here, and the Ozark region’s first strawberries are coming into season. When I was growing up, we had strawberries most often served over pound cake, which we called “strawberry shortcake.” (I know people in other regions of the country use sweetened biscuits for a dessert by the same name.)

We went from wondering if another ice age was on its way to believing in global warming again this week.

Today I picked up another order from Conway Locally Grown, a wonderful variation on CSAs. My father is visiting us, so I went crazy and ordered all sorts of things I ordinarily wouldn’t have, including an emu egg. Yes, I’ll be blogging about that later this weekend or early next week. Among the things I [...]
