Small U.S. Farms Find Profit in Tourism. →
Is it just me or does the term “Agrotourism” sound angry?
Because I'm Not Busy Enough. →
Trying to write more about farming. Realizing doing anything in addition to farming is exhausting. With a recipe here and there. Why not?

Re: The Dentist.
me: did you ever hear the commercial in new york for this dentist they say “we NEVER judge anyone we don’t care if you haven’t been to the dentist in 15 years. and we ALWAYS put you under”
sounds like the best dentist EVER
Jon: seriously. i want to go in for a consultation and be put under
me: me too! then I’ll just sign a big fat bill on my way out.
hey, maybe they could just find my credit card in my purse while i’m out
Jon: they probably do. feed you a bunch of whip it balloons and then go through your shit
me: then 2 months later you’re pregnant
Jon: wake up in an alley missing a tooth
and a liver
me: hahaha
ok, maybe that dentist doesn’t sound that great

Chicken Rollatini with Rutabaga Avocado Puree.
Yeah, I said it. Rutabaga Avocado Puree. It’s like all “local food oxymoronic” and whatnot. I am in Buffalo in the dead of winter and for some reason the avocado just jumped out at me in the supermarket. I am sooo ready for summer. Or at least spring. I worried this combination could be a great failure but there is a snow storm outside and I’m not leaving the house...
How to Guilt Someone Into Calling You.
Jon: talking to browder

Jon: thank you for the letter sweets
me: no problem muffin.
Jon: i'll call you in a minute
me: yay!
Winterfest In Buffalo, This Weekend. →
I’m sorta intrigued enough to want to go and taste these chilis.
Hyatt Regency Buffalo Downtown.

Obama's Health Care Plan →
I’m not a super politcal person but as a person without health insurance for the past ten years or so, this issue hits home with me. I’d love some competitive rates on independent health care. Let’s hope everyone can play nice on Thursday and get something done!
Chinese Taquitos or Mexican Egg Rolls?
I loooooove me a hot crispy taquito!! I’m not sure if this is a true Mexican dish or if some American chain restaurant like Chevy’s invented the taquito but either way, these little buggers are DAMN TASTY.
This all came about when I was deciding what to do with all the pinto beans I cooked last night for dinner and the package of egg roll wrappers almost at an expiry date in the...
Pollution Under Greenpoint. →
Great, there is a pretty much a picture of my old house in this article. Glad to know I was potentially drinking 73 PERCENT perchloroethylene! There are so many reasons I was glad to move from this apartment and this is just one more.
Chicken (Liver) Pot Pie.
My mind is telling me no, but my body is telling me yes. Yes, I do want to make a dinner than will take an hour and half to make for myself on a Wednesday night. Yes, I don’t give a shit about eating some organ meat on Ash Wednesday considering I haven’t been to church since Nola’s wedding and it was Jewish. Yes, I do need to use all those vegetables sitting in the crisper...

This is all JP's fault, hot dog shaped hamburgers. →
So JP sent me a picture of a hamburger shaped like a hot dog. Which got me wondering if this really existed (of course it does cause he was obviously eating one). But where does one find such an exotic food? Is this a mass-produced product or a one off of some ma and pop? Well apparently this company makes them.
I would personally never eat this meat but find the IDEA of a hot dog shaped...
You Say Tomato I Say Kumato. →
I came across this product in the produce section at my local Wegmans here in Buffalo. What IS this thing? I am intrigued. Especially since it looks just like an heirloom tomato but it says it’s grown in Switzerland and Canada under “optimal growing conditions”. WTF? It’s like bizarro cold weather tomato. Anyone have any info on these things?
Please, No More Huevos. →
Nothing says unappetizing like a brick of egg with some taco bell salsa poured over it.
You CAN Yelp anything. Thanks Ro-Ro. →
Why didn’t I know you could do this before? I have soooo many useless things I could yelp. But for now I will share two from my most recent vacation.
BaconSalt? No thanks. →
I ACTUALLY clicked on an advertisement today. On the New York Times website. I was intriqued by the name of this product, BaconSalt. I love salt AND bacon but I also love warm apple pie and cheeseburgers but I don’t want to eat them together in a “zero calorie, zero fat, vegetarian and kosher seasoning”.
BaconSalt, FAIL.

HuffPo's Newest: Hot Beekeepers. →
Goddamn it, I guess I know a lot of hot people. Go Brandon!! (who should totes win because he is hot AND a super sweet dude) but I wouldn’t run away from this Noah guy in a dark alley either.
Who knew there were so many hot beekeepers around? And to think a couple years ago, I was the idiot dating an unattractive beekeeper.

How long were you going to let me leave “shepherd” spelled incorrectly?
Lentil Shepherd's Pie.
Does this even look delicious? I can’t tell. I know that it was but a picture of a shepherd’s pie isn’t the prettiest one in the book. I thought about getting up to write this recipe out at 12:30 am last night when I woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep til after 3:30 am. I got a mean case of nervous feeling like I am going to puke thing going on. It’ll all...

Sweet Potato Wonton/Miso Soup
Now, don’t get me wrong here, cause I will stick some pork in a wonton wrapper any old day and call it dinner. I could literally just eat wontons for dinner, steamed, boiled or fried. But I wanted to make a nice meal for my veggie sister and the combination of sweet potato or squash and onion or leek is always one of my favs inside of wonton. I would have liked the crisp of some cabbage...
