They just started offering Peach lunch delivery at my office in Redmond. I had never heard of it before the announcement that it was coming the week before. After looking the company up, I discovered it launched in the summer of 2014, started by a few ex-Amazon engineers. They aren’t the first restaurant delivery service… Read More Peach Delivery
Our favorite local winery put on a wine maker’s dinner at their home/winery atop High Rock in Monroe. There’s not a wine of theirs that I haven’t liked. We joined four other couples for a four course meal paired with a variety of Gregarious Cellars wines. We all picked out name tags which had various… Read More Gregarious Wine Maker’s Dinner
This is my first year planting kale however did have one variety (red russian) in the garden when I moved into the house last summer and it seemed to grow well. The previous owners of the house did not thin out the rows so they were pretty tightly packed. I’ll be giving them much… Read More This Year’s Kale Varieties

Even after adding two additional beds to the six I already had, it seems I don’t have enough room for all I want to plant. I used to plant typically 2 tomato plants in a container… Read More This Year’s Tomato Varieties
It’s been a few years since we’ve been to the annual Northwest Flower and Garden Show at the Convention Center in Seattle and decided we were due for a visit.

I always thought aquaponics… Read More The Other Nine Months at Rainier Beach Urban Farm – Aquaponics 101

One of the groups I heard about through tilth is a new group called The Other Nine… Read More The Other Nine Months at The Herbfarm
This is the last recipe for my Herbivoracious Cookbook project. It came from the breakfast section as one of the only gluten free recipes in this section. In Spanish, huevos means eggs and ahogados means drowned. I had to look up that last one. So I guess in English this would be eggs drowned in… Read More Huevos Ahogados en Salsa Verde
I just discovered Gregarious Cellars during a trip to Pine Creek Nursery in Monroe, where they do tastings on the weekends. Pine Creek Nursery also does “Taste from the Garden” dinners during the summer and Gregarious Cellars is always there to pair their wines with the four course meal. We attended three of the dinners… Read More Gregarious Cellars 2012 Release Party
I received a free trial of Blue Apron Meals from a friend and was holding onto it for a few weeks before I decided on which delivery week to get. If you’re not familiar with Blue Apron, they are a meal delivery company that will ship you a box of ingredients to make 3 different… Read More Blue Apron Meals
