We are attempting to grow organic baby salad mix from seed in an old wooden drawer that has been propped up on our apartment window sill. So far, little tendrils have shot up! Here’s to hoping that they continue to flourish so we can have some truly local salads this summer!

stock pizza.
While some people peep into their friends’ medicine cabinets to develop an overgeneralized conclusion of the owners’ character, I peep into their freezers. When we first started dating, Longer Hollow Legs had a steady supply of frozen pizzas occupying the frosty depths of his ice box. How this is a reflection of his psyche I do …
a stack of crepes.
In another life, I spent a summer waitressing at a crepe restaurant in cottage country. This was a year or so after a crepe restaurant would open up on a very busy intersection in the city I grew up in, and a few years before I would move to a city where yet another crepe …
sunshine in a cup.
Mango, banana, coconut flakes, water. It has been a cold and rainy spring, but with a glorious blitz of bright fruits in a blender, one can glow from within! Woooo!!!
wait and see.
Hot off the success of replanting store-bought green onions, I have stuck a nub of store-bought ginger root into some soil. We shall see if anything comes of it.

Don’t worry, I smeared Kraft mayonnaise and store-bought relish on top – keepin’ it real, yo. But then I garnished it with homegrown alfalfa sprouts. Also keepin’ it real…?! This recipe was based off of one by …

LOOOOOK!!!! In two weeks, the green onions that I replanted have grown to be almost their original size! I’m so happy and proud of them! I look forward to snipping them into salads and omelettes and the like, while whispering loving words to encourage them to regrow. Happy day!
thank you cookies.

that leftover poached chicken.
Diced poached chicken tossed with mayo, relish, and celery. Eaten on top of Swedish rye crackers with more homegrown alfalfa sprouts. Another simple and delicious meal down the pie hole.
