Market Shift
Apples and squash everywhere, snow yesterday morning — it must be fall in new England. I was hit with a nasty cold this week, which kept me out of the kitchen for a few days, so I still have most … Continue reading
Market Cooldown
The tomatoes are gone and the apples are taking over, which can mean only one thing: farmer’s market season is drawing to a close. A long weekend with dinner invites, a fridge still full of veggies, and a work week … Continue reading
Market Saturation
It’s pouring today. Bad news for the market vendors, good news for me: no dogs, strollers, or bicycles to trip over, no lines to buy what I need. Peaches are gone for good, more apples are appearing, and the fall … Continue reading
What the Fluff?
In addition to being the location of the raising of the first American flag, my neighborhood of Union Square also holds the honor of being the birthplace of Marshmallow Fluff, invented in 1917 by Somerville resident Archibald Query. Three years … Continue reading

Market Predictions
More market goodies today, but again not as much as usual, since we’ll be in Montreal later next week (look for some food posts while we’re there). For baked goods there’s a peach pie, a cookie (breakfast!), another wheel of … Continue reading
The Meat Experiment
It’s easy to eat locally grown vegetables when you can just walk a few blocks every weekend and pick what you want from a large variety of stands. It’s harder to eat locally grown meat, because there are fewer vendors … Continue reading
Market correction
I‘m running out of titles that use the word “market.” Fewer stands – and customers – today due to the holiday weekend, but there were still good things to be had. Ground beef for burgers, first cucumbers of the season, … Continue reading
