As I mentioned in my Mother’s Day post, I made brunch for my mom this year. I really wanted to do something nice, but am so not a morning person and knew that if I left stuff for the morning of, it would result in a really cranky brunch. I started out with the idea of doing a savory bread pudding. Then I was inspired by The Family Stone and found some strata recipes. Have you seen the movie? It’s one of those movies where it’s so awkward and uncomfortable that I have to watch the entire movie or else I have this weird gnawing feeling in my stomach all day. Anyway, what does the movie have to do with strata? Long story short, the girlfriend that’s trying to impress the family makes a strata and the entire things ends up all over her. read more »

Each week, I look into my refrigerator and realize I still have half my CSA vegetables left, despite my best effort. How do you use a bunch of veggies? Well there’s soup (stay tuned!), stir fry–and then there’s quiche. I forgot to mention that in addition the crisper bin full of vegetables, I also always have dozens of eggs. See, in addition to the vegetable share, I also signed up for the egg share. I thought half a dozen might not be enough, but boy was I wrong! read more »
