It’s hot. Eighty-six on Monday, mid-sixties overnight. Ninety tomorrow. Isn’t this Minnesota, in May? I feel like I’m back in Auburn! Meanwhile, back in Alabama, my best foodie friend Sharyn has been enjoying weather cool (80) and dry enough to ride her bike to work. Global weirding, indeed. When the mornings are perfect for working [...]

figs and frangipane
Posted in Baking, Fruit, Sweet Things, tagged Amy Campion, fig frangipane tart, fig recipe on October 9, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Figs will always be associated with some of the happiest times in my life, and with the geographical locations of this happiness. I think of the black mission figs rolling down the steep sidewalks of the Berkeley hills, too plentiful to collect before the early autumn sun softened them too much. Homeowners guarded their Meyer [...]
apple picking

Today was the first day that really felt like fall. It was in the 50s when we ventured outside this morning to water the plants, and the clouds overhead were rushing by. Because of these early signs, I got it into my head that apple picking would be the perfect thing to do. It’s a [...]
Fulton Farmers’ Market

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
Posted in Herbs, Ice Cream, Pasta, Pizza, Restaurants, Sweet Things, Vegetables, tagged Amy Campion, Cafe Maude, Pizzeria Lola, Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream on July 16, 2011 | 1 Comment »
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. [...]
gravy

I do love cooking projects that require days. No-knead bread. Gravy from scratch. I’ve done both this week. The no-knead bread was for dinner at Matt & Christina’s, where we had a delicious, mostly local meal that unfolded at a nice relaxed pace. First, Christina cooked up some little pizzas with Indian-spiced tomato-mustard green sauce [...]
paella party
Posted in Seafood, Wine, tagged Amy Campion, paella on October 26, 2010 | 2 Comments »
My friend Sharyn, of Still Life with Whisk, had been turning over the idea attempting the perfect paella, until it became a passion. (ok, why is alliteration so tempting with the letter p?) So, we decided to get together and make a big Spanish-themed feast. While Sharyn went shellfish shopping, I went to the wine [...]
It’s done.

My dissertation, that is, is done. Sadly, so is our packing. We’ve been saying goodbyes to good good friends here in Rome, and will leave on Thursday. It’s an anticipated sadness and loss, so it’s one that ebbs and flows, comes and goes at unexpected moments. Life goes on, too, as do the food and [...]

Dear Readers, Thanks for sticking with me in my absence. I’ve been busy finishing my dissertation, and am finally down to proofreading, formatting, and double-checking footnotes. I’ve also been eating well, and enjoying as much time as possible with our good friends here during our last weeks in Rome. And I’ve been having fun with [...]
Burrata

Not a mis-spelling of burrito, no. Something much, much better. Exquisite, even. While I sit here waiting for my Byron chapter to print out, I find my mind drifting back to dinner last night with Tess and Jessie (interns at the Rome Sustainable Food Project and co-producer—that’s Tess—of the must-see Food Inc.) and David (a [...]
