Early in November I went out to Oregon for a short visit, to hang out with my family and help my mom with house stuff. Obviously, since what my family does is talk/think/obsess about and consume food, we….ate. The first night, Mom made pizza bianca (from the America’s Test Kitchen recipe, I think), and a [...]

NYC interlude
Posted in City Life, General, Travel on October 2, 2008 | 6 Comments »
God, I love getting back to NY. We went down a couple weekends ago to welcome Bridge back to the states after her London expedition. I headed into the city on Saturday and did some very important shopping: Muji, CB2, Pearl River Mart. Met up with Bridge and we wandered around, then Ben met us [...]

I am ashamed to think about, let alone admit, how little I’ve been cooking lately. I didn’t expect to experience the usual rush of activity come September, but we definitely have nevertheless. I hope in the next couple weeks that we can get back into a normal schedule and work our way through, say, the [...]

Let’s wrap up this vacation before I leave on my next trip, shall we? Thursday was Ben’s Birthday!! And it was a big one, though he’s not happy about that. Happy birthday, honey–I love you times 30. (Not that Ben reads this blog. I can write anything I want about him and he’ll never know. [...]
Lakeside eats (and silliness)

Ok, vacation. Greta and I spent some time before the trip working on a google doc (brilliant) spreadsheet to plan the meals we’d each cook and what groceries we were each bringing. I hadn’t thought of using google docs and it was perfect–I highly recommend them if you’re working on anything like an address list [...]
CSA: Week six, Risotto allo spazzacamino
Posted in Cooking techniques, Farm Box, Food, Recipes, Travel, tagged CSA on August 5, 2008 | 5 Comments »
No Week 5 CSA box–since I was going to Oregon I had a friend from work pick it up. Before vacation I picked up two half shares (which is not equal to a whole share, since there are different veggies for each), because we were about to head off to the lake for the week [...]
Vacation time!

Hurray! We’re off to the lake for a week with our friends Chris and Greta (and, of course, baby Jack)!! Greta and I have become crazy people with multiple shared spreadsheets planning meals, groceries and packing lists. The car is about to be fuller than it has ever been. The lake house has internet!! Ahem. [...]
Home cooking, summer-style

I was back in Oregon to be in my friend Kathrin’s lovely, lovely wedding last weekend, and amidst all the festivities we did eat at home two nights. First, though, I always take the same photos when I fly into Eugene but I just love the moment when the Coburg Hills drop off into the [...]

Yay! My brother is safely back in the states after his two month Europe trip. I was so happy to hear his voice on the phone! Here is my favorite of the photos he has posted so far from his trip–his beard is “bristling in indignation” at the Gehry building in Prague.
Summer wedding shower
Posted in Family, Food, General, Home, Travel, tagged Food on June 10, 2008 | 10 Comments »
Sorry it’s been quiet around here: It’s busy times in Kate-land. This weekend I went home to Oregon for my 10-year high school reunion (!!) and to throw a wedding shower for my oldest friend, Kathrin. My mom was incredibly generous about hosting at their house and preparing all the food, and she spent a [...]
