Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” . ~Hans Christian Andersen First, a few delectable moments of spring from last weekend. While we sisters visited inside our little rented getaway house, outside these beauties …
Cheery and light, this is a great soup for any season. But first, a few more pictures of SNOW. Keweenaw Peninsuala style, that is, as in 274 inches this year (yep, that’s right…nearly 23 FEET of snow!). So far. …
The warm weather of the weekend brought everyone out of the woodwork. Some items don’t fit in our little freezer-cooler so they live in the snow, apparently it piqued the interest of a small neighbor in the hood who took advantage of the higher …
We made a version of this soup in the Deli but I seem to have misplaced the recipe so I’ve been trying to recreate it lately. I started with the basic ingredients of a classic peanut soup—peanut butter or ground nuts with sweet potato …
Yep. It’s summer. Sultry, steamy, sunny, sizzling, sweaty and sometimes stifling…if it were any more humid last week the air would have simply transformed to water and we would have been left to fend for our gill-less selves in the new ocean. In …
. Beginning in Sälen and ending in Mora, Sweden, the 90 kilometer Swedish Vasaloppet is one of the largest ski races in the world. Tens of thousands of skiers pilgrimage to Sälen in mid-March to ski, enjoy the spectacle, and some to winter camp along …
This is a full-flavored simple soup for a fall day, and especially great for the dreary chill that arrives in this part of the northern hemisphere as we shift into late October. And it’s orange. That should cheer up nearly anyone. I roasted …
Red Lentils—one of the most colorful legumes around. They’re nutritious, delicious and they cook fast if you need some quick protein in a meal. Check out World’s Healthiest Foods for an afternoon read on these adorable orange delights. They’re best if rinsed numerous times …
This was another hearty soup from the deli days. The cinnamon and clove really help build the layers of flavor, not to mention they smell heavenly while simmering. The ingredients and flavors are of a Mexican móle or adobo with the cocoa, oregano and clove. We …
I cannot stop eating this soup. It’s brothy, spicy, and loaded with all the good things. I suppose I have to include a disclaimer about the name so I’m not practicing medicine without a license …but you’ll want to be stocked with ingredients as the cold …
Yay, another pea soup! I knew that was what you were going to say. We’ve had a week of spring-emerging: from chill to rain to sunny days which means the buds and grass are finally beginning to explode in greenery. I even saw blooming …
A few more shots of ABR in Ironwood, Michigan. Datsa lotta wood. I forgot to bring my coffee cup out to the ski-in cabin the first night so I made it in a jar in the morning. The heavy cream went in …
The International Paralympic Committee’s Nordic Skiing World Championships, right here at Telemark Lodge in Cable, Wisconsin near our winter home-base. The paralympic equivalent to the World Cup, this is the championships for athletes from around the world competing in biathlon and cross country skiing. …
This may be a good meal for the post-holiday recovery. Brothy with good protein and the vitamin punch of kale, your liver will thank you. This is also a favorite of my friend Mary Kay and one that we’ve eaten as she’s been on this stem …
October days are either stunningly orange with sunlight filtered through turning leaves, or it’s grey, rainy and chilled giving us a hint of the November to come. This potato soup with a tang of buttermilk, yogurt and dill seed will not let you down during …
Before we get to refreshing cucumbers, here are more photos from the Willow Gathering in June. These are from classes led by the two Danish instructors Ane Lyngsgaard and Eva Seidenfaden. You can see the soaked willow on the floor in the background. …
This was a Comfort Meal in the deli, a bowlful of both Brothy and Filling. It’s another soup with the tangy buttermilk-secret-ingredient, added at the end when the soup has cooled slightly (so it won’t curdle) and with the addition of a little …
Hot soup in the cold days of January—it’s never a bad idea. We are knee deep in the process of prepping and amassing supplies for the annual trek north. Pulling skis out of hibernation for waxing, dragging out sleeping bags and …
