• Community Supported Fisheries (CSF)!

    Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), as we know, is a methodical, sometimes prepaid way to buy local food grown by a local farmer.  Click here for Lou’s “Thoughts on CSA” post for the hows and the whys of a CSA.  Lou got a lot of produce, and sometimes could buy eggs from his CSA.

    BUT FISH? 

    My California cousin told me about Community Support Fishery (Thanks, Jennifer!).  I hadn’t heard of this.  She shared this link with me:  www.localcatch.orgClick here to go to its “About” page, and look around at some of the participating CSFs.  Most of the logos click through to a website.

  • Garlic Spaghetti

    Contributor:  Tina

    (Note:  Tina and I have been friends for decades.  Back when the rest of us were experiencing the culinary awakening of Prego after years of Kraft boxed spaghetti, Tina was preparing multi-course dinners.  Her entire extended family cooks lots of good stuff.  This is one of her little Sicilian grandma’s recipes.  Enjoy! ~ Cindy)

     

    This dish may help ward off a cold, mosquitos, vampires, and all but those who truly love you!

    Ingredients needed are pictured.  That’s a pound and a quarter of tomatoes, and a good and large garlic pod.  Remaining ingredients are rather self-explanatory.

  • Thoughts on CSA

    CSA membership is great. This summer, 2013, I joined Riverbend Roots Farm’s CSA. I absolutely loved it. For the record, I have absolutely no experience with other CSA options, nor experience during a bad growing year.
