Although I missed a week of writing while celebrating the holiday with family in Boston and New York, my summer berry kick continues. In case you’re just tuning in, to recap my berry escapades I’ve thus far created two different salads (strawberry, sunflower seed, and chèvre and triple berry, toasted walnuts, and blue cheese) and three different cocktails (strawberry mojito,…

Combine your favorite greens and berries like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries with toasted walnuts and strawberry balsamic vinaigrette for a perfect summer salad. I hope you found the words and photograph from Songs for a New World as inspiring as I do, the subject of yesterday’s rarely seen theater-related post. I’m not quite through with my week of strawberry…

Yes, my blog is normally focused on food, nutrition, science, cooking – that kind of thing. But we all know that theater references surface now and then. This art form is on my mind once again today as this is the final day of our fiscal year. In other words, it’s the end of my theater company‘s 14th season and our…

Last-of-the-Season Strawberries, Meet Tequila and Basil Yup, that strawberry season is short all right. Nary such a berry at today’s market. Farms vary, so perhaps tomorrow in Copley Square. In the meantime, I am very glad I used my strawberries from last week judiciously, as I still have enough to make ice cream and one more strawberry salad. And, of…

Sure, my regular readers won’t catch this until Tuesday or Wednesday. Or maybe not at all, truth be told. (Damn you!) But let’s not start this otherwise joyous post on a sour note now, shall we? Why joyous, you ask? Well, if you’ve been following my recent string of strawberry-related articles, you know that I’ve been using the summer strawberry…

It’s Finally Strawberry Season, and It Doesn’t Last Long Given that, I hope you can understand why I’m on a strawberry kick. First came the post about my favorite summertime go-to beverage, wild berry sun tea. Then I wrote about strawberry mojitos. Still to come is strawberry ice cream and you bet I’ll be making strawberry bourbon lemonade soon, too….

After a long work week and writing about my favorite non-alcoholic summer beverage earlier this afternoon, cocktail hour dawned and I was just about to make one of my favorite summer cocktails, strawberry bourbon lemonade. But why let bourbon have all the fun? I asked myself. (No, seriously. I did say that.) Plus, I’ve been dying to use St. Germain…

Think your kids need Kool Aid for summer refreshment? Think again. This wild berry iced tea is perfect, and kid approved. Cheaper than juice and soda, too. I’m not talking about tasty summer cocktails today, although I have a few on my mind, I won’t lie. Strawberry bourbon lemonade is likely my libation of choice this evening given the veritable horde of…

We all know I love to write about farmers’ markets, whether on my various trips around the world or at home. A few posts of this ilk include Borough’s Market in London and its special Apple Day celebration with the Queen; Union Square Greenmarket in New York City; Copley Square market in Boston (one of my regular markets); and the Cambridge winter…

More farmers’ markets photos from Chicago to come soon, but in the meantime here’s just one, which for this Bostonian begged the question: What the hell is a saskatoon? Well, scientist that I am of course I research all things to which I don’t know the answer – albeit in this case rather perfunctorily – so if you didn’t know,…
