Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: January 2009
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 29, 2009. I will say this about my friend Mark Bittman. And this is not meant as a complete trashing, more like a polite expression of confusion - for someone recommending less meat in our diets, he sure does recommend a lot of meat for our diets. . I read a few posts and I'm all ready to go buy me some rib-eye, or soak some ribeye in cinnamon wine, or have a pig dinner with some farmers. (sounds AWESOME! Sunday, January 25, 2009. I'm not going to give up on Mark Bittman. Linguine with ...

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: More Eggs!
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009/10/more-eggs.html
Monday, October 12, 2009. The eggs keep coming. It is so exciting. There is something so magical about the whole experience. Yesterday I noticed only four hens walking around the yard. Keeping panic barely at bay and trying not to check for hawks, I peeked into the hen house and sure enough - one of the brahmas was sitting in a nest box. She was doing what my son has named the "hen sit" - sitting focused and alert, with her tail up. Today I got a call at work - two more eggs, and finally, one of them blue.

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: July 2009
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. Our school's garden made amazing progress this year - basically went from concrete slabs to a little jungle of peas, lettuce, squash, tomatoes of every color, broom corn, bamboo, basil, mint, and more. Unfortunately, it was so blazingly hot and humid when I visited today that I neglected to get a full picture of the Jurassic park situation that has erupted in this concrete alley. We'll have to make do with these pictures of ecstatically-picked micro carrots (the next trend? In toda...

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: BPA Bloop
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009/10/bpa-bloop.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. The Sigg bottles really had a good thing going, providing us with BPA-free bottles right as the whole BPA scare was happening. Too bad their BPA-free bottles were actually lined with BPA, according to th is report by the Environmental Working Group. If you have a Sigg bottle you can return it. and, as EWG points out, get. a new SIGG bottle. I'm pretty sure that my stainless steel water bottles will turn out to have something wrong with them. Just waiting to hear. Some kids are ok...

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: February 2009
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Kale-alicious (No, Really). I dropped my i-phone down the stairs yesterday, and a troubling lack of screen options has plagued me ever since. My screen looks like a Barnett Newman painting. One of the ones that is white with a black fuzzy line going up and down. Not good. . Anyway, this was the salad that actually inspired me to buy a small bottle of Bragg's. . Juice of one lemon. Maybe a tablespoon of Bragg's Liquid Aminos. Maybe a couple tablespoons of olive oil. I will try...

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: We Got an Egg!
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009/10/we-got-egg.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. We Got an Egg! We are no longer egg-less around here. Our chickens can now be described as free-ranging, rather than free-loading. Er, at least one of them can. We're just not sure which one. Whatever, we're just thrilled to get an egg! We had worried that it would be April before we saw an egg. Our chickens are now 6 months old, old enough to start laying, but it's October and getting darker and colder by the day. Who knew eggs were seasonal? Youyou.FEED the hens - things...

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: Consider the Loss
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009/10/consider-loss.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. I'm weighing in on the demise of Gourmet. A bit belatedly. It's been three days, after all, since the the news broke. And this, the age of the internet. Where've I been, anyway? Jury duty, actually, but more about that some other time, or better yet, never.). Anyway, back to the closing of Gourmet. When I heard about its closing, I was torn between two impulses - First, sadness at the loss of an institution that has helmed our culture's love for food for the last 70 years. Yes, h...

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: Moving the Mothership
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009/10/moving-mothership.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. It won't be as unwieldy as the title implies. At least, I hope not. After three years of blogging on my own lonely little soapbox, I'm moving to the fast lane. The New York Daily News. Is picking up my blog. They're expanding their web lifestyle options, and my blog is one of the new ones they're welcoming on to the roster. I'll be blogging about the same stuff- kids, eating, school food, and . maybe a little less of my own griping wanderings and moanings. (focus! It would be g...

Mothership Meals and Satellite Saucers: 10 Things to Do with Zucchini
http://mothershipmeals.blogspot.com/2009/09/10-things-to-do-with-zucchini.html
Sunday, September 6, 2009. 10 Things to Do with Zucchini. My mother has a cookbook that warns that, around this time of year, it's best to keep your car's windows rolled up and doors locked, in case some "friend" unloads a bag of zucchini in your front seat while you're in the post office. How can I possibly use up all this local produce? Grilling and sauteing are the obvious choices, but here are some other ideas:. 3 Make Zucchini-Carrot Cupcake. Maple syrup is so much better.). 4 Stock up for the winte...
