Ginger rye, ready to transport to family feast tomorrow. It's wrapped to stay fresh, but it's also wrapped to keep us from eating it beforehand.

One way to handle an overflowing vegetable shelf in December--make a big pot of peanut stew. This one has rice and lime and curry spices and loads of fresh vegetables, some of which were still in the ground yesterday. Thanks CSA!

Much of our Christmas dinner was based on produce from Tanaka Farms, received in our CSA box about a week ago. The greens in the salad, the onions and potatoes in the scalloped potatoes, the parsley and onions on the salmon, and the steamed broccoli and cauliflower, all from the CSA. (The tomatoes in the salad are also local--late bloomers from our yard.)

A magenta heart to greet February! Beets and red cabbage from recent CSA boxes. Recipe suggested by my friend Rubi and cobbled from several online (just four ingredients: shredded beets, shredded red cabbage, garlic powder, and a small amount of mayonnaise). I didn't think I liked beets. Now I think I love them.

A close up of some of the goodies this week--green cauliflower, strawberries, avocado, cilantro, tangerines (I think--never can remember the differences between all the various tangerine-like fruits). Added to "A Month of Gratitude" 11/1/10. I am grateful for good fresh local food year-round, through a program that also benefits our PTA.

Tofu/seafood stew at a Korean restaurant in Torrance; it was a chilly, rainy night outside, which made bubbling hot spicy stew all the warmer.

These were based on a recipe for molasses-ginger cookies--but I didn't have enough molasses or ground ginger. So honey instead of molasses, cardamom and nutmeg instead of ginger. Tasted great, with a wonderful texture.

At the Literature.Culture.Media Slam at UCSB, 5/21/10. These were part of the presentation next to mine. Hard to compete with cookies! There were several full trays of these, I just didn't get a photo until many of them were gone.
