Spring Harvest


I know it isn't very impressive, but I've just pulled the first offerings from my humble, little vegetable garden- 2 radishes! I ate them with some bread & butter. The broccoli rabe went to seed because I didn't pick it early enough, but I like the yellow flowers so it's OK.

I wait too long to pick my vegetables. I always feel like it's a bit too early, and if I just wait just one more day it will be the perfect time. I have actually let a big, beautiful heirloom tomato go to rot on the vine because I just couldn't bring myself to pick it. Hmmm.

Hello from PDX- food capital of the US!


Since moving to Portland, Oregon in 2000, my already established food-obsession has only deepened. And broadened. This blog is devoted to my culinary experiences both local and global.
