Kids in the Kitchen
Howdy Farmers Market Friends: Each of us are entrusted with important gifts to pass along to our children and other kids too. Among these – a foundation of good manners, a healthy revulsion for the New York Yankees and a love of food and cooking. The kid who doesn’t learn family foodways soon finds [...]
The Abbondanza Papers
When I was a kid, my friends and I quickly learned which of the neighborhood houses were the right ones to show up at just around mealtime. This was where I learned the Old World term abbondanza – abundance, plenty, copiousness.
My Supper Has A First Name
My son and I attended an organizational meeting last evening for the RI Raised Livestock Association annual Fundraising Dinner to be called the Carnivores Carnival.
