On: October 2, 2017August 16, 2018 By: Leslie Cook

Published 10/3/2017 in Bob’s Fresh and Local CSA Newsletter I always make pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, and I like to make them “from scratch,” with real pumpkin, not canned. It’s so easy — why not? All it requires is to slice the

CSA Veggie Yummies This Week

On: July 14, 2016April 20, 2017 By: Leslie Cook

Muhammara: Spicy Walnut & Pomegranate “Salad”

On: June 10, 2015April 20, 2017 By: Leslie Cook

Muhammara (Arabic for “reddened”) wasn’t one of my original group of salads. I have a customer to thank for this delicious suggestion. Although it’s a classic Middle Eastern combination of ingredients, I hadn’t heard of it until someone asked for it when

Buffalo Cauliflower with Avocado Cilantro Sauce

On: April 24, 2015April 20, 2017 By: Leslie Cook

Cauliflower is considered a super-veggie these days, and that’s good because I love it in any shape or form. This Buffalo Cauliflower made a fun, light dinner for us one evening along with salads. I put some of the Frank’s Buffalo Wing

Matboukha (Moroccan Salsa)

On: March 10, 2015April 20, 2017 By: Leslie Cook

I often serve Matboukha as a salad in the typical Middle Eastern style with pita (or Challah) for dipping. It is a delicious and versatile cooked tomato salad.  I have also used it for Shakshouka, a Middle Eastern dish in which eggs

When I come into Facebook, it always asks me, “What’s on your mind?” Today it’s this: apple.news/Aa8NHbJ9-S_mkEiAZ-opDWA - I believe that even my stalled project of exploring an ancient text, the Bible, for its wisdom on the human-nonhuman-animal relationship demonstrates that the ancients had it right. And we in modernity have lost out to the extent that we insist on our superiority to other animals. But other animals have lost out more than we since they are quickly going extinct. But then, living on the planet is a collaborative project, and if we are left as the sole survivors, we may yet find ourselves to be the biggest losers. ... See MoreSee Less

I’m pretty aggravated with human beings lately. The air is making me very cranky. It hurts when I breathe. It hurts my little dog when he breathes and makes him cough more. The coughing is associated with heart disease and exacerbated by bad air. Now we can’t get out to enjoy our walks. I’d take a deep cleansing breath to restore equilibrium but can’t in this environment. I think we should turn the planet over to the orangutans. They’re smart, peaceful, and have a sense of humor. ... See MoreSee Less
