Market [noun]
Now that the weather is cooler it’s safer for babies and pets, so today’s market run was mostly me negotiating an obstacle course of strollers and leashes. Dog owners act mystified when you get angry about being clotheslined by a … Continue reading
Market Something
I‘ve run out of clever (and not-so-clever) titles for these weekly market reports; next week’s may be “Market [noun]”. At least I was able to keep the upcoming week’s meal plan in my head long enough to buy what I … Continue reading
Market Abundance
This was one of the market days when I buy more fruit and baked goods than vegetables. It’s midsummer in New England, which means it’s corn and tomato season, so I bought corn and tomatoes, along with a few cucumbers, … Continue reading
Market Transition
It’s still way to hot to be motivated to cook, but the family must be fed, so I wandered around the farmer’s market today, waiting for inspiration to strike. We’re a third of the way through the market season, which … Continue reading
Shocking!
Because She Who Must Be Obeyed and I donate to the Boston Museum of Science, we frequently get invited to exhibit previews and special events. Last Saturday we took a behind the scenes tour of the Theater of Electricity, the … Continue reading

Readercon 21
I‘m off to Readercon 21. I wrote about the conference last year, but the big difference for me is that I am this year’s Program Chair, which means I’m in charge of the content creation and scheduling processes. It’s a … Continue reading
Market Holiday
I‘m still working through last week’s market haul, so today was more of a reconnoitering instead of a purchasing trip. Still, I couldn’t pass up the first yellow beans, fava beans, and red onions of the season, as well as … Continue reading
Market Restrictions
Too much work, not enough cooking, and a flat-out refusal from He Who Will Not Be Ignored to eat any more leafy greens for a while (and I did manage to get him to eat kale, chard, and spinach in … Continue reading
Market Promise
Today was another Saturday at the farmer’s market when it was threatening to rain, but it didn’t deter the locals. I’m using a different approach to my shopping this season, buying only what I’m absolutely sure I plan to cook … Continue reading
