Campfire apple crisp

Disneygeek — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 20:26:24 -0500

I was reading your little note about your campfire apple crisp. My husband and I have taken up camping and we are always in the market for campfire cooking ideas. Can I please get your recipe?

Thank you,

How can such powerful words

Alanna Kellogg — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 06:59:46 -0500

How can such powerful words be described as 'lovely'? They are, despite expressing so much that's decidedly not. Be well ... both of you.

Making Exercise Easy and Automatic

sufgal — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:48:30 -0500

I have found an easier way to this diet treadmill. I use a treadmill! Treadmill desk actually, I work all day on mine walking just 1 mph and guess what, it works! I have lost 27 lbs in 4 months and although I eat healthy I do NOT diet. I feel better than I ever have since my youth and since I never miss work I never miss a day of exercise. It is just automatic. My design has some limitations and I am waiting for a new product called TrekDesk, you can see it at www.trekdesk.com. It incorporates everything I need to stay productive and keep walking throughout the day.

I'm lucky too.

Thanks so much. It's insanely hard, I feel like I've been swimming in jell-o. But, no matter what happens here, we're both learning sooooo much about each other and ourselves and this. I really hope to help remove shame from the process for people by being open and honest.... thank you so much, i really appreciate you're following us and commenting!

I've been following your blog though this is the first time I've commented. I think what you're doing is brave. I think it is strong. I think it is courageous. I think your husband is a lucky man. ~MoM

Ginger and sesame sounds great with cabbage!

I don't think I've ever found a cabbage recipe I didn't like!

Versatile Cabbage!

Andrea Meyers — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:52:21 -0500

Cabbage is so versatile! It's great cooked in a stir-fry or raw for a salad. We find lots of uses for it.

My favorite cabbage salad (slaw) has peppers, cilantro, carrots, green onions, and an Asian vinaigrette flavored with ginger, lime, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil, and a bit of brown sugar.

love the local

Hello!

That's funny -- my son wanted to be held all the time, too! And he refused to sleep alone. Now he's a very independent, though still cuddly, four-year-old. It gets easier.

I love eating locally and post recipes on my blog, What I Made for Dinner (ack link function isn't working on my laptop, so http://whatimadefordinner.blogspot.com). I just went to a strawberry luncheon featuring grilled lamb with a strawberry sauce! Kind of a complex dish for a family with a newborn, though.

If I were you, I'd start out simple: snack on the local strawberries, which you can probably wash one-handed ;) Have one of those free-range eggs poached for breakfast with whole-grain bread from your local bakery.

If you have a little more time to cook, or if you can get someone else to cook for you, asparagus buckwheat crepes are pretty good.

Sautee mushrooms and chopped asparagus with garlic in olive oil, thyme, salt, and a leetle red wine. Set aside.

Combine 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup buttermilk, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup buckwheat flour, 1/3 whole wheat flour, 1/4 t salt, 1 1/2 T melted butter. Let batter sit at least 1/2 hour.

Ladle batter into hot, buttered pan, making sure it spreads to all sides. Cook, then flip. Add some of the asparagus mixture to the center, top with grated local cheese, fold over crepe, and enjoy!

Crepes take a little practice, so make sure everyone is in a good mood, first.

fave slaw

coconutlime — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:51:09 -0500

My husband makes this slaw: http://coconutlime.blogspot.com/2007/04/gingered-coleslaw.html it has ginger and sesame in it. He based it off his memories of the slaw at the Salt Lick in TX.

AL-ANON

Laracolvin — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:05:44 -0500

I understand the fear thing mightily- yes I do. If you are headed to San Francisco this year and want to duck out to find an AL-ANON meeting, send me an email.

You aren't alone.

The darkness does lighten.

Your courage is a beautiful thing.

My brother makes that too!

Thanks for sharing!

My brother makes a salad just like that too and I love it. Now I wonder if that's where he found it.

I think so!

The whole time I was writing this I wondered why (it seems to me) there is so much increased interest in cabbage. Maybe it's the cruciferous vegetable thing? But it certainly seems to be the new mesclun, you're right about that!

Cabbage is the new mesclun

Karina Allrich — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 21:51:51 -0500

What a tasty bevy of beautiful summer slaws! Could it be? Is cabbage the new mesclun?
