All spring long, i’ve been taking baby steps towards this point. The point where I make REAL jam. You know, the stuff that lives in jars and is shelf stable. The stuff you can open in the dead of winter for a bit of summer. It started with more than a few batches of rhubarb [...]

This is the time of the year when we should be easing from summer into spring around these parts. Warmer days, cool nights, and none of that oppressive humidity that the mid-atlantic is soooo famous for.

Like so many other East Coast bloggers, I’ve fallen victim to West Coast envy. What is West Coast envy?

We have entered the final countdown for the opening of Baltimore Farmer’s Market 2010! Just one week to go until my grocery store under the JFX (yes our farm market is under a highway!) reopens for the season.

After this past weekend, I’m really starting to feel like spring has sprung. The leaves are starting to come in on the trees, as the snow flakes of cherry blossoms fall to the ground. Kids are outside, riding bikes in shorts and t-shirts. And it was Easter–which always kicks off spring in my mind. The [...]
