On this past cloudy Saturday, Noel and I had a little adventure. We headed west out of the city into the green Howard County farmlands. Our destination–Larriland Farms, my favorite pick your own spot. Although Larriland is just 22 miles outside of Baltimore, it feels like a different world out there. I had only ever [...]

Are you tired of summer squash yet? Maybe I’m just some kind of super squash loving freak, but I’m not even close to being tired of summer squash yet. When I sent Noel off to the Sunday Farmer’s Market, it was with the instruction to “buy more squash!” He made the face though, so I [...]

Ah, cobbler. One of my first, and favorite, summertime food memories. First and favorite, because you see, my mom’s family is from the South.
