The First Baby Ramps Have Been Harvested!

They are so beautiful! I harvested just a small bunch, as they need to be allowed to grow a bit more, and grow they will! They will be around for just a short moment, and we will celebrate that moment fully at the kitchen. With respect and gratitude for Mother Earth always, Namaste.

Baby Ramps 2012!!

The ramps are here...three weeks early! I'm so in love with these wild, harbingers of spring, and we will be celebrating them in the kitchen starting later this week! :-)

Cous Cous Stuffed Chickens

Roasted John Boy's chickens stuffed with toasted Israeli cous cous scented with white truffle oil, fresh herbs and local farmstead cheeses, yum!!

A Pig Dog in the Sun...

Well here she is, our mascot, Miss Mischka Lou, basking in the 70 degree sunshine, on this amazing day! Many seedlings were started today for the 2012 Erica's Kitchen garden, lots of heirloom tomatoes of course!

Chicken Stock

There's nothing better than homemade chicken stock, slowly simmered with aromatic vegetables and fresh herbs. Oh, and of course the chickens are from John Boy!
