For the past few years, Cascade Harvest and others have been asking people to pledge to have at least one locally grown food on their Thanksgiving tables.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to ask all of you to share your favorite recipes. And here’s a little incentive: the best one will receive a cookbook and have your recipe shared in the paper. Read the rest of this entry »
Bremerton has a second bakery again, the 15th Street Bakery in the space formerly occupied by Luigi’s bakery. It opened earlier this week, thanks to Hi-Lo’s 15th Street Cafe owners Heidi and Lowell Yoxsimer, who have been working on the spot since this summer. Read the rest of this entry »
The promised FreshLocal grocery store in downtown Bremerton says they’ll really open soon and will host an open house Nov. 6 timed with the First Friday artwalk.
They’re opening a little later than what was expected when I wrote about them in September. They apparently were waiting for approvals from the City of Bremerton and the County Health Department, which they now have. They now have to finish installing equipment and purchase a business license.
About two hours of my weekend so far has been woefully unproductively but deliciously sucked into watching KCTS 9’s membership drive. I stole glances while cleaning and procrastinated while working and watched during a visit with the in-laws. Read the rest of this entry »
Bainbridge Public Library hosts an interesting looking “Edible Book Festival” this weekend.
They’re not talking cookbooks. On the library’s site, they describe an edible book as something that “can look like a book, be a pun on a title, refer to a character, or just have something to do with books — as long as it’s edible.” Check out some of the photos on their site with such things as the “Lard of the Rings” with, you guessed it, lard (and onion rings).

A couple weekends ago, I started my first solid attempt at food preservation. I’ve frozen foods before and dried herbs, but this year marks the very first time I’ve canned anything and otherwise preserved foods in earnest. Read the rest of this entry »
I was greeted at work today with a wonderful gift from my co-worker Chris Henry: freshly foraged chanterelles.
I’ve only ever tried some dried ones from a grocery store, which I’m told is nothing like having them fresh. The fresh ones are meaty and earthy. Well, that’s what I’m told, and I’ll be finding out for myself soon. Read the rest of this entry »
I learned this week that Seattle has its own style of hot dog. I’ve had it and love it, but never knew cream cheese and grilled onions on a dog make it uniquely Seattle.
This summer, I had the joy of watching the little seeds and starts I plopped into my little edible garden stretch and blossom. As a new vegetable gardener, I expected that not everything would go as planned. A “cabbage” grew up to be a giant Brussels sprout that took over a corner of the garden, shading out a few things planted a little to closely. Some purple radishes never really plumped past a skinny root, carrot seeds never quite figured out that summer had come. I had squash blossoms aplenty, but little in the way of actual squash.
