What goes in to all the marvelous things we do around here on the microscale? It’s all in the details. From the carefully planned baking schedule, to the counting (and cleaning a bit, especially in Winter) of eggs, the making of fresh Ricotta cheese, and the new labeling and packing of orders – we takeContinue reading “Tuesday Happenings”

Recipe Thursday: Homemade Pierogis
There was a time in our life when Mrs. T’s Pierogis were a regular staple. Granted, it was when we lived in Boston for a few years – and we were miserable. We lived essentially at Cleveland Circle/Chestnut Hill Reservation at the juncture of Brighton, Allston, and Brookline. We worked at Coolidge Corners (yes, inContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Homemade Pierogis”
Duendesday: Hard Work
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} Snow can be hard work – for us (well, for Josh) it includes shoveling the drive, the walk, the car, and to and around the chicken coop. When Josh is feeling good and ambitious he shovels a path up to the top of our little hill,Continue reading “Duendesday: Hard Work”

Duendesday Wednesday!
{life with a curious and crazy 10 yr old} I told you all about her cardboard creations and then she goes and makes a spaceship for the cat, resplendent with buttons/levers/a handheld radio and a helmet – she shaped, designed, and painted it, also adding a plastic bag window (for both the ship and theContinue reading “Duendesday Wednesday!”
Happenings on Tuesday
Alas, there is not much ‘happening’ these days, which is good. When it happens, it is all a-flurry, but most of the time it is the kind of peace that we only dreamt about for years. Days of homemade Egg Nog Ice Cream and Apple Cake, afternoons of Popcorn and movies (the little one likesContinue reading “Happenings on Tuesday”
