CSA Adventures … Mystery #6
From green, to red, from orange to yellow, the colours of the garden are breathtaking, like a dissected fall foliage that you can eat. How great is that? However, it would seem the mysteries of the CSA are getting better — and tougher? — or someone has disconnected my mic. “Hello … is this thing…
CSA Adventures … Mystery #5
Some mysteries are supposed to be tough — so here’s one to challenge all your ardent veggie lovers out there. “Who Am I?” And no, “I am not a misshapen pumpkin… but I am a gorgeous colour inside.” That’s your only hint, ok? Answer to be revealed on Saturday … if not before, should one…
CSA Adventures … Mystery #4
So this adventure series hasn’t turned out exactly as I was expecting — though I guess that is the whole point of any adventure. My let down is that it just hasn’t felt that adventurous, at least to me — but can I really complain that I’m eating delicious veggies, regardless whether they contain new…
CSA Adventures … Mystery #3
So the next lesson in mysteries is that sometimes you have to look outside your borders to find adventure …. My challenge in maintaining this even into the third installment of the series is that I didn’t find much a mystery in my CSA share this past go-round. Most of the usual suspects emerged in…

My Canadian Love Affair
Food is an extension of my heart. It is not only a part of my physical being, it is how I celebrate and express love. I’ve been in love with food for a very long time. And, for almost as long, I’ve been an incurable romantic. It seems fitting, then, that my personal passion for…
Triple-Ginger Gingersnaps
Gingersnaps … for ginger fools™. One of my grandmother’s legacies to me is a love everything ginger. Ever since I was a child, I would eat anything ginger that she pressed into my hands: ginger marmalade, candies, crystalized ginger, chocolate covered ginger … and gingersnaps. I ate it all … I adored it all. And…
