Failed attempt at QUAIL eggs in a basket…
Well, after yesterday’s post, I had a hankering for quail eggs. When I was at Russo’s Market this morning I checked and sure enough they had them. I picked up 2 dozen, one for me and one for a friend from the UK who has had a hard time finding them here.
On an interesting side note, the...
Gorgeous Speckled Quail Eggs
By Tammy in Entertaining, Ingredients, Omnivore, Recipes, Techniques on Jul 26th, 2010 | No Comments
When I was a child, we tried our hand at many different animals. We had dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, pheasants, ducks and we helped to raise both cows and pigs (that were eventually slaughtered). One year, we hatched baby quail. We had a little incubator setup in the dining room and had the amazing...
Homemade “Maraschino Cherries”
While at Trader Joe’s, I came across a container of sour cherries. They were gorgeous and I had never had them… so of course they came home with me. I am obsessed with trying new things. If I see something that looks interesting, I will buy it. I have yet to be majorly disappointed.

How to Make Basil-infused Olive Oil
This was week 7 of my Red Fire Farm CSA. As hard as I try, I still find myself being challenged to finish everything in our weekly share. Part of the issue is that just two of us are eating it (the 5-yo’s contribution to noshing is minimal); that and the fact that I forget what’s in the fridge...
Leek and Ginger Matzo Balls in Lemongrass Consomme
A while back, I decided to try my hand at homemade matzo ball soup. I found this recipe in Bon Appetit and was immediately drawn to it. I made this as part of a “Eeastover” meal (a combination of Easter and Passover) back in Spring, fudging it just a tiny bit. I plan to make it again soon…...

Summer means squash. LOTS of squash. There are only so many things you can do with squash… so I’m always looking for new recipes that offer something a little different. One of my favorite sites to peruse for new recipes is www.foodgawker.com. It’s addtictive.

Red Fire Farm CSA — Week 6
Well, it looks like I’m not the only one picking early tomatoes! This week’s CSA share had two nice tomatoes in it…. granted, they were greenhouse grown, but a tomato is still a tomato! And a small fennel bulb! Mmmm… shaved fennel… looking forward to it!
These were the goods...
Our first homegrown tomatoes of the season!
A few weeks ago, I noticed the first of my tomatoes growing on the vine. They were green and striped. I wondered how you tell when green tomatoes are ripe, as I had never grown them before. So, I decided to pick a few and put them on the kitchen windowsill to see what would happen. Low and behold, they...
Chef’s Tasting Menu at No. 9 Park in Beacon Hill
My big birthday dinner this year was at No. 9 Park in Beacon Hill. I knew we were going out — somewhere “within walking distance of the Ladder District” (because D let me pick the pre-dinner cocktail location), but I had no idea where we were eating. I was ridiculously happy (and surprised)...
CSA Weeks 4 & 5 — And an Asian-Inspired Cabbage Slaw
We are really enjoying our CSA share this year from Red Fire Farm in Granby, MA. We are still wasting some produce, but for the most part, we’re increasing our utilization each week. On the weeks we eat out more often, we’re obviously struggling more… so all the more reason to cook at home!
