Eating the Willamette Valley: My trip to Greensland
http://eatingthevalley.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-trip-to-greensland.html
May 26, 2008. My trip to Greensland. On my recent trip to Greensland I have become acquainted with many interesting characters. Most are friendly, tasty creatures, but others are more sinister. Atop a pizza I met oregano, arugula, and crinkly wrinkly cress. The oregano gave the parsley pesto a great aroma, the arugula was peppery, and the crinkly wrinkly cress was crazy. It tasted like radishes and a little bit was enough to sprinkle all over our pizza and salad. Labels: beaverton farmers market. Subscri...

Eating the Willamette Valley: Salad anyone?
http://eatingthevalley.blogspot.com/2008/05/salad-anyone.html
May 21, 2008. Seriously, does anyone have a good recipe for salad dressing? Today was the very first day of our Abundant Harvest CSA. I was looking forward to it all day, and had to try hard to not run down there at 3:00 when it opened. Max and I drove a few miles north to the farm and met our new farmer friends, Steve and Mish. They had warned us that the farm was starting up slowly due to the crazy cold weather that we'd had, but now I think they were sandbagging. 2 big bags (really big) of lettuce mix.

Natural history and other activities in the Pacific Northwest. Sunday, May 31, 2009. Beach Creatures and Dinner. During the previous two weekends, we came across many interesting invertebrates along the beaches near Pacific City. Here are a few examples. These volcano-shaped barnacles have been stained by the iron deposits in the rocks at Cape Kiawanda. Before leaving Hillsboro on Friday, we packed our cooler with big bags of greens recently harvested from our garden and CSA farm. We made chard and b...

Eating the Willamette Valley: Deja Pesto
http://eatingthevalley.blogspot.com/2008/05/deja-pesto.html
May 1, 2008. Tonight we had a ravioli dish inspired by a great one that I had on Orcas Island on our honeymoon. We took Rising Moon. Chanterelle ravioli and served it in a mix of our homemade stock and our leftover homemade pesto. Then we dipped Marsee Bakery sourdough bread in the liquid and it was so tasty. I think the original had heirloom tomatoes too, but our tomato plant is about 6 inches tall right now, so I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. Hi Sarah. Your meal sounds delicious!

Eating the Willamette Valley: Not-so-instant Pudding
http://eatingthevalley.blogspot.com/2008/05/not-so-instant-pudding.html
May 5, 2008. We bought a few vegetable starts and planted them afterward in my grandfather's garden. I won't spend too much time blogging about all those tiny plants until we start eating them. Andie enjoyed the gardening, especially the part where she broke into the bag of chicken manure and ate a bunch of it. But back to the bread pudding. The recipe. Is from Debbie Madison and was brought to our attention by Barbara Kingsolver in her great book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. May 6, 2008 at 10:33 PM.

Eating the Willamette Valley: June 2008
http://eatingthevalley.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
June 1, 2008. Greetings from the goats of Dos Sequoias Farm. They are glad that goat is not on the menu at the CSA. Pasta is always good, so we made one with asparagus and shiitake mushrooms and the Willamete Valley aged fontina from the Beaverton Market. How could it not be good? The CSA box was very green again with 2 pounds of spinach and lots more lettuce and .bok choy. The few bits of color were provided by radishes and garlic chive flowers. Greta visited on Saturday, and we dug out some frozen mari...

Eating the Willamette Valley: Green dinner
http://eatingthevalley.blogspot.com/2008/04/green-dinner.html
April 29, 2008. Tonight we used the pesto from our local basil to make some risotto that was wonderful buttery goodness. I know that one local ingredient is a bit of a cop out, but it had been awhile since I posted and it was so darn good. We used the recipe for basic risotto from Heidi Swanson's. Book, but we substituted homemade stock for water. Heidi is no relation to me, though we share the same last name. We do both look quite Swedish with our chubby cheeks and big foreheads. An environmental educat...
