One day soon…

Kate — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:46:15 +0000

…I will find my way back here. I am slowly coming to grips with the daily ups and downs of life with two, with the complete lack of time to get things done, and with the incredible emotional roller coaster of parenting a 2.5 year old. But I’m finding myself thinking more about what I … Continue reading One day soon… →

As summer sweeps by…

Kate — Sat, 28 Jul 2012 14:16:31 +0000

Shelling peas Here we are, almost at the end of July, and I don’t think I’ve posted one summer meal! We’ve been enjoying the CSA, as always, of course. Tuck has finally gotten on board with corn on the cob, though I haven’t been able to budge his bias against tomatoes yet. We’ve been sticking … Continue reading As summer sweeps by… →

Status report: 3 weeks of Family Dinner

Kate — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:59:22 +0000

So here we are, a few weeks in to our new system. Overall, I’d say I’m about 1000% less stressed by feeding Tuck than I was before. I’m much less concerned about buying special foods or worrying what he’ll eat if we go out, and I’ve enjoyed the new rhythm of our evenings, with Tuck’s … Continue reading Status report: 3 weeks of Family Dinner →

On Snacks

Kate — Tue, 29 May 2012 19:11:05 +0000

We don’t, much. Snacks, I’ve found, are a major reason Tuck, at least, didn’t try things at meals. We were always strict about snacks–he had one at 10 and one after nap (usually 3:30); they were limited in size, and he never had a snack cup or anything that allowed him to determine when he’d … Continue reading On Snacks →

Feeding a toddler: I refuse to be beaten

Kate — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:32:36 +0000

How can this face be such a troublemaker? I’ve been thinking a lot about what I should be doing with this blog. (Obviously more than nothing, which has been the status for far too long.) Honestly, this pregnancy has been much harder than the first–chasing a very active toddler is incredibly draining, and I’ve been … Continue reading Feeding a toddler: I refuse to be beaten →

Well, hello!

Kate — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:58:15 +0000

I thought I’d log in to make sure I still had a blog out there somewhere. Turns out it’s still here! Shocking. I can’t promise thrice-weekly updates but I would like to get back to something more frequent than every three months. It feels like forever since the holidays–a lot has changed around here, about … Continue reading Well, hello! →

Aarti’s Kheema

Kate — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 23:31:57 +0000

Among my guilty pleasures is “The Next Food Network Star,” which I have found to be a fairly interesting look at what makes someone a good TV host (not simply a good cook, like on Top Chef). I like the judges and find their discussions of the business of TV fascinating. And last season I … Continue reading Aarti’s Kheema →

Oh look, summer

Kate — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:10:49 +0000

Maybe if I take the pressure off and post Instagram pictures from my phone I’ll update more often? Worth a try. Last night we ate a delicious (and deliciously-local) simple summer dinner. Beautiful baby new potatoes from the farm: I brought them to a boil with a couple halved cloves of garlic, then simmered until … Continue reading Oh look, summer →

France: First stop, Giverny

Kate — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 14:32:07 +0000

We seem to have plunged straight into summer here on the East Coast (mid-90s today? really?), but I’m still longing for spring. We got back from our annual vacation a couple weeks ago; this year we spent a little more than two weeks in France. It was Tuck’s fourth experience with air travel, but his … Continue reading France: First stop, Giverny →

How would you like a Spring Treat?

Kate — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:09:30 +0000

Well hello! It’s spring. Supposedly. It is going to snow tonight, but we’re ignoring that because the CSA has started up! This year Stone Soup is offering “Spring Treat” shares every two weeks until the summer shares begin in June. They include fun stuff like eggs and treats from other farms–this week we got two … Continue reading How would you like a Spring Treat? →
