I love living in a place with so many bountiful farmers’ markets. And maybe it’s my small-town self coming through on Saturday mornings, but I prefer the small-scale markets. We’ve become regulars at the Fulton neighborhood market, and really, it’s not just because Patisserie 46 sets up a booth every week, although that’s definitely a [...]

Hello, Minneapolis

We’ve lived in Minneapolis for a month now. We spent the first 9 days in our new place without furniture, which was interesting. In fact, it was surprising how quickly we adapted to living with minimal stuff. But don’t worry, I’m not about to launch into a sermon about the importance of living with less. [...]
a bit of Italy
Posted in Dairy, Ice Cream, Sweet Things on May 30, 2011 | 1 Comment »
We’re in Vermont for the long weekend, and, aside from catching the scent of lilacs drifting everywhere, the best sensory experience of the past few days has been standing at the Italian-style espresso bar in the new gelato cafe in Hanover, NH, Morano Gelato. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was Proustian, [...]
Florentine eats

Thanks to our friend Rena, who lived in Florence for a year, we had some insider recommendations about where to eat. The most interesting (and delicious) place, by far, was Mario’s, which serves only lunch. The menu is scribbled on a piece of paper, and is replete with meat. The seating is first come, first [...]
in Florence

We’re in Florence. Today’s my birthday. Yesterday we went to the famous gelateria Vivoli. I know I should have tried the cinnamon-orange, but I can’t give up an opportunity to savor one of the nutty flavors I love so much. Yesterday I went for the classic nocciolo—hazelnut. Jack had a puckering cup of limone mixed [...]
NUS: neglected and underutilized species

I’ve been thinking about these a lot, lately, because of the work I’ve been doing for Bioversity. And because of the food I’ve been eating here in Rome. Farro four times a week? And cauliflower, I have to admit, has been an underutilized species in my household, if not in general—until this fall. I’ve written [...]
back from Venice

Going to Venice for a long weekend is like being transported to a different realm. In this immersed city, we immersed ourselves in grand-scale Renaissance art, long winding walks, gelato, spritz (Amaro—a bittersweet red liqueur—and prosecco), and seafood. What everyone says about the acoustics stands out as a strong sense memory: without the sound of [...]
Gelato

We made our first gelato-destination-trek yesterday, after asking around about the best shops in the neighborhood. Miami Gelateria, conveniently located about halfway between our apartment and Jack’s school, makes theirs in-house, and offers an array of flavors, from the tangiest limone to the densest chocolate, with everything nutty and fruity in between. They serve typical [...]
Strawberry Festival

Strawberries were the totems of childhood today, at Cedar Circle Farm’s 7th annual strawberry festival. Of the milling, stooping, picking, licking population, about two-thirds were fewer than four feet tall. Many wore the totem on their shirts, hats, or cheeks. The folks at Cedar Circle make this day as much a celebration of childhood as [...]
