Eating From the Dirt: Gourds Editions

Posted on November 29, 2011 by BrassyDel

It’s a bit late, since my garden is empty now and Colorado is already in its 9 months of winter, but here. Have a post I wrote in early October and didn’t get around to publishing. I vaguely recall my lovely neighbor, who helped me through pretty much every step of my very first garden, warning me not to go…

He Doesn’t Know it’s not Fall Yet

Posted on August 26, 2011 by BrassyDel

Pumpkins traditionally herald the beginning the Fall, thanks to their nature as a seasonal vegetable. They are also simply extremely awesome. While it isn’t fall yet, it is time for Chappy, aka Chappy McChappersons (or, when relevant, Poopy McPoopersons), to start trying out some solid food. And by “solid” I mean “mostly-liquid mush”. If I’d had a pumpkin on hand,…

Squoosh.

Posted on August 19, 2011 by BrassyDel

Squish. Squash. I have squash! Yellow summer squash and plump, green zucchini. I actually let them get a bit too big before harvesting. In my defense, they were hiding in their squashy, leafy bundles. Now I just need to find a good recipe for zucchini bread, preferably gluten free. And if it freezes well, even better! How do you love…

What a Sweet Little Tomato She is

Posted on August 15, 2011 by BrassyDel

After carefully rescuing them from the forest of weeds wildflowers, I was delighted to find some small, green tomatoes growing in the garden. Hubbles may think they are evil, a sort of dastardly poison fruit, but I love tomatoes. I will eat them raw, broiled, sliced with salt, in salads, on sandwiches, in eggs, et cetra, et cetra. They’re almost…

Overgrown

Posted on August 10, 2011 by BrassyDel

I promised you guys that I’d show you my garden space when it was no longer just tilled dirt. Well. It’s not just tilled dirt anymore. In fact, up until a couple of days ago, it was like this: Oops. I actually weeded it a couple of weeks ago, when it looked like this, and put down Preen. I think…

If Brassy Can, You Can

Posted on August 4, 2011 by BrassyDel

One of the many things I have wanted to learn to do for awhile but always assumed was too hard, or something equally whiney and stupid, was home canning. As of just very recently, I can now can things! And you know what? It wasn’t hard. The key seems to be planning ahead, preparing the food, and following recipes to…

I’m About to Save You Fifty Cents

Posted on August 1, 2011 by BrassyDel

Not the rapper. Money. I don’t know where I first heard this, but I’ve been doing this for awhile: regrowing green onions (which are about 50¢ a bundle at the grocer’s here). After you chop up your green onions, leave the stems. I usually leave a couple of inches or so at the bottom. Then, put them in a glass…

Wait, You Can GROW Food?!

Posted on June 1, 2011 by BrassyDel

I thought you could only get food at the store. You mean I can grow my own food? In the dirt? I dunno. Is it as good as the food at the clean, brightly lit, pristine grocery store? Isn’t that food better? Oh. It’s not? Well, okay then.   If you can’t tell, I’m finally making an initial foray into…

My Delicious, Irresistible Problem with Opiates

Posted on May 30, 2011 by BrassyDel

Macaroni and cheese with bacon, onions and mushroom. Grilled cheese with bacon and mushroom. Cold ciabata sandwich with Gouda cheese, bacon, lettuce… and mushroom. I’m trying to eat healthier and cut back on cheese (again) and all of these things are just calling to me, especially the cheese. Really it’s the cheese that makes it, though bacon and mushrooms certainly…

Momma’s Caffeine Fix

Posted on March 16, 2011 by BrassyDel

The running gag is that I like to start my day with a mug of creamer and sugar and just a dash of coffee. Knowing that, it should come as no surprise that I’m not a coffee snob. The Hubbles has been known to ban me from his fancy-pants coffee using the reasoning that it’s not like I can tell the difference between that…
