Recipes for a Cocktail Party Benefit: MidWinter Revels
The Fayerweather Street School had their first annual MidWinter Revels last night and as an alum parent, social media consultant for the school, and of course a big fan of the teachers being honoured, I was motivated to play my part. Where do I fit in for all of it? Cocktails and pickles of course!…
Something Different in Davis: M3
Davis Square is a great place to eat and drink and it just keeps getting better. There are all the great standbys like Diesel Café, Redbones BBQ, J.P. Licks, Diva Indian Bistro, Anna’s Taqueria and the like. There are also quite a few newcomers and I have had the chance to try a few. Each…
Social Media Mom Brain
I’d like to blame my haziness up there on what I have lovingly named “the plague” that has hit 3/4 of our family of late (and in the same breath be grateful that we were spared worse), but I can’t. It’s not the never ending cold that drags us right down to the ground every…

Truthfully, I am perfectly satisfied with a rotating menu that includes vegetables, breads, mollusks, fish, fruit and liver. The rest of meat I can do without. When it comes to vegetarianism I…
Perfumed Crystals: Going Beyond Plain Sugar
There is nothing more simple than making flavored sugar and it adds a wonderful dimension to baked goods or sprinkled over just the right thing. My pantry has vanilla sugar in a big bin, which ends up being the sugar I use for almost all my sweet baking. Any time I use vanilla seeds for…
Canadian Cranberry Sauce à L’Americaine
When I was little I remember my mom doing so much cooking with my class, bringing in food and other traditional objects to my teacher, reading a story or sharing a song. I even remember taking my entire class (okay so it was only 7 people from K-W Bilingual School in Waterloo Ontario) to our…
Zen Lessons on the CSA Farm
This week we’re picking blueberries and sugar snaps. It is hotter than hot, but somehow it’s almost always just a little bit cooler on the farm. After a week of city heat, and sloth with everyone’s nerves growing together like tangled weeds it feels good to leave the kids on the stone wall to eat…
Bloody Mary at Tryst
I love a good Bloody Mary for brunch and this one was really really good. It had a nice kick to it and the drink was served with pickled onion and a pickled carrot which was a perfect match. It is the best Bloody Mary I have had in a long time!
