Sorry I’ve missed reading here – very moving post and that recipe looks delicious. On my list for the coming week. Thanks. steph

Wow Lia – sounds lovely. I get the same look from people when I go places by myself. They think I’m nuts. I have friends who would never go out to lunch by themselves and yet I crave it. Just me, a good book or “mind candy’ magazine, iced tea with lemon and great food. [...]

Just logged on after a few month’s absence and found this – very interesting and the recipe looks good too. Sent it on to my oldest son who is a bbq enthusiast. He makes the best tri-tip. steph

Lia – any photos of the raised beds here?
That recipe looks like red potatoes . . and looks good. My father-in-law’s 87th birthday party is this weekend and he wants lots of Spring recipes. I’m going to add this one along with asparagus.

He is out of town too. Thank goodness for email or I’d have missed Vincent Arroyo. I’m going to “open that bottle” tomorrow night – I got the 2007 Petite Syrah. My friend who recommended Schramsberg was appalled that it cost me $40 to go and felt bad that he [...]

That looks very good – gonna try it tonight, drizzled over green beans frozen from the farm last summer. I was in your neck of the woods last Thursday/Friday. My husband had a conference in Napa so I tagged along. Gorgeous time of year and the sun was actually shining, the grass was [...]

I’ve loved these root veggies forever – I love to roast them with Brussels Sprouts! Thanks for that recipe – how many calories? steph

mountainrn commented on the blog post Get Your Flax Straight

Thanks for that – the cookies look great to pair with a cup of good coffee. I take flax seed oil capsules along with (no odor) fish oil tabs. I did not know about lignans. Have to add that to my oats. steph

mountainrn commented on the blog post Knife Skills 101: Choosing and Using a Knife

Had to chuckle a bit at the brands of knives . . my oldest son sold “Cutco” knives while in college – just to family members and then he quit. So, that’s my brand. Actually – they cut fine. Of course, I’m a neophyte. steph

mountainrn commented on the blog post Nourish Yourself in the New Year: Build a Healthy Pantry

Great ideas – I have a big walk-in pantry that used to be a closet in the little tiny dining room (about the size of a breakfast nook – these old houses). My husband pulled everything out and built the pantry for me and I love having it well stocked. I use veggie [...]

My comment was mostly tongue-in-cheek . .. . . the tri-tip was great. steph

Ok Kurt . . . reading that is making me consider becoming a vegetarian again. And we’re serving tri-tip for Christmas dinner. Timely . .. steph

mountainrn commented on the blog post Gifts That Give

Thanks so much for this list. We are short on $$ and needed some ideas for meaningful gifts for our adult kids. My mother-in-law makes up laundry baskets full of her home canning (dilly beans are a big hit) and raspberry oatmeal bars (my oldest boys love these) so I think the meringue [...]

mountainrn commented on the blog post Feast Without Frenzy: Plan Ahead

Yum – that looks good. We were given a large bag of homemade beef tamales and homemade mole by a co-worker of mine. She is an awesome Hispanic cook. I have to say – both were better than mine! I limited myself to two and tried to eat slowly.
I [...]

mountainrn commented on the blog post Get a New Grain: Oats

I love oatmeal but have been eating the steel cut oats because I thought they had more of the grain than rolled oats. Interesting. I’m working on my cholesterol. I like my oatmeal not like paste – I like some texture which is why I like the steel cut style. When [...]

mountainrn commented on the blog post Chef Kurt’s Mom’s Wild Rice Dressing

Hi Kurt – I tried to get the rice you recommended but it was on back order. I bought “Organic Lake Wild Rice” from Trader Joe’s because I couldn’t get any local Fall River Wild Rice either (stores were closed). I think what I did wrong is the 4 cups of chicken broth [...]
