As part of a CSA I tried out provided by Brookwood Community Farm, I received a pint of husk cherries (ground cherries), which I'd never even heard of before, a couple of pints of cherry tomatoes, and some shallots. Other than an overall enjoyable experience with the fresh produce of the CSA, I loved getting... Continue Reading →
Habibi’s Middle Eastern Kitchen Review – North Attleboro, MA
I have a close friend that grew up in North Attleboro, MA, so I'm familiar with the area. I'm also familiar with the fact that there isn't much in the way of diverse cuisine there other than chain or fast food style restaurants. That's why I was so excited when I heard that a new...

Fried Tofu Recipe with Scallions and Lemongrass
When I was younger and slightly more ignorant, I thought tofu was gross because I was supposed to think it was gross. I never actually tried it until I was a young adult.

Pasta Primavera Recipe
I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to Spring. My favorite season is the fall because it's not as hot and humid as the Summer, which is great for a bigger guy like me that isn't at his most attractive when damp. On the other hand, I always get excited for the Spring even... Continue Reading →
