Um. Hi guys!  What's new?  I am sorry I have been away for so long, but I sometimes get a little paralyzed by the blog.  There are so many things I want to say - things about recipes; feelings about life; brilliant, witty observations - that I get overwhelmed and then don't publish any of [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/hello/feed/ 0 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/making-cheese/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/making-cheese/#comments Tue, 22 Nov 2011 02:35:28 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1684
So, I meant to post these last week, write about homemade polenta, and then discuss some Thanksgiving Day goodness... But, me and my computer are in a fight. In fact, its incessant wining is giving me a headache right now. Lately, within minutes of starting in the morning, it reaches 200 degrees and then begins [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/making-cheese/feed/ 3 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/oven-roasted-chanterelles/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/oven-roasted-chanterelles/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:05:24 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1675
I stepped outside this weekend and realized something... It is cold!  Is it going to be like this until June? Really? I think I forgot what 46 degrees feels like.  I also have a sinking suspicion this happens to me every year.  I am surprised when it is hot, surprised when it is cold.  You'd [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/oven-roasted-chanterelles/feed/ 0 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/vegetarian-chili/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/vegetarian-chili/#comments Fri, 21 Oct 2011 22:30:58 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1659
What is your go-to recipe when you are cooking for a group?  My favorites are roast chicken and short ribs, but sometimes those dishes involve way too much time I don't have.  Plus, living in Portland means you are likely to run across a vegan, a vegetarian, and a gluten-intolerant all at the same party. Short ribs with [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/vegetarian-chili/feed/ 0 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/caramelized-cauliflower/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/caramelized-cauliflower/#comments Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:08:15 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1647
After a reluctance to accept fall's arrival, I have finally embraced it.  I forgot how comforting fall food can be: long-roasted vegetables and meat; hearty salads with fruit, cheese, and nuts; and soul-warming soups. Because, in the Northwest once the rain starts we all know it isn't going to stop until next summer and we [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/caramelized-cauliflower/feed/ 3 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/healthy-cookie-dough-and-other-fun-treats/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/healthy-cookie-dough-and-other-fun-treats/#comments Tue, 04 Oct 2011 01:05:34 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1639
Before a few weeks ago, I used to be able to sit through fast forwarding commercials on my DVR with the upmost patience. I used to be able to wait for someone to call me right back without logging on to the computer.  I could read books and peruse magazines on the weekends. But, things [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/healthy-cookie-dough-and-other-fun-treats/feed/ 3 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/and-i-thought-i-got-rid-of-the-traveling-bug-for-a-while/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/and-i-thought-i-got-rid-of-the-traveling-bug-for-a-while/#comments Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:37:18 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1631 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/and-i-thought-i-got-rid-of-the-traveling-bug-for-a-while/feed/ 2 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/first-day-of-fall-nay-squeezing-the-most-out-of-summer/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/first-day-of-fall-nay-squeezing-the-most-out-of-summer/#comments Wed, 21 Sep 2011 23:03:06 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1616
I looked up at the calendar today and realized it is the first day of fall.  I am so not ready to say goodbye to the warm, long days of summer.  Nor am I ready for the onset of winter squashes about to hit the market. I still want tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, and basil!  Is [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/first-day-of-fall-nay-squeezing-the-most-out-of-summer/feed/ 0 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/the-season-of-tomatoes/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/the-season-of-tomatoes/#comments Thu, 15 Sep 2011 23:35:09 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1580
Last year when I started canning, I had a only one goal: to put up as many tomatoes as I could. (For those not caught up on your canning lingo, "put up" is ole-timey way of saying "can".) I tracked what I used from my pantry the year before and realized I went through way [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/the-season-of-tomatoes/feed/ 0 http://www.eatingstumptown.com/squash-salad-with-mint-basil-and-chevre/ http://www.eatingstumptown.com/squash-salad-with-mint-basil-and-chevre/#comments Tue, 13 Sep 2011 00:19:04 +0000 Mary Sue http://www.eatingstumptown.com/?p=1544
Late summer is the best time to live in the Northwest.  Our weather is finally consistently warm and our gardens are overflowing veggies.  Have you been to the farmers' market lately? The colorful rows of tomatoes, peppers, and summer squashes scream at you to eat them.  (EAT ME! EEEAAAT MEEEEE!) But, if you have high [...]]]> http://www.eatingstumptown.com/squash-salad-with-mint-basil-and-chevre/feed/ 1
