I'm back...

January 8, 2010! My last post. I guess that was about the time we decided to turn our lives upside down, sideways, and back forward again with a move to Maryland from Massachusetts. While we loved our life in New England and friends who were like family, we opted to try to raise the kids closer to their blood family in Maryland. We bought a house in Potomac, where we moved in late June. The boys seem to be getting settled into Kindergarden and preschool and B and I are slowly feeling like this is home.

One key part of feeling home? We joined a CSA. Norman's Farm for the fall share. So far it has not dissapointed. Staymen apples, collards, and peppers, oh my! I am already loathing the 6 months from December 1 to June 1 where everything is shipped and void of taste.

The kitchen is old, but spacious. I look forward to trying new recipes in my 27inch (gasp!) oven and when we have the energy and money (neither of both right now!), we will make it our dream kitchen.

The Kindergardner is pickier than ever (nothing with grill marks and very definite opinions on what food should look like to be eaten); and we need to get a cow, apple tree, and nut farm just to sustain the Preschooler.

Here's to some new adventures in how to feed my family local, fresh, healthy, as least processed as possible . . . and on a budget in Maryland!
