Menu; something old, something new

unbelievably, the tomatoes just keep coming from the garden! Yes, they are mostly green...but right now I have 2, no 3 bowls full and 2 paper bags.
Also, my mom told me a story last night about how her mom used to bring her bowls of brown butter sauteed greens with a creamy bechamel sauce, after she married my dad and moved out. So sweet, so I tried googling the name my grandma called it (ein braune) ? to no avail. I found the recipe below...who knows if it's the same, but hopefully it will still honor the memory.
This week:
- fried green tomatoes
- creamed brown butter greens (with the rest of the chard)
- coq au vin (had frozen chicken and half a box of wine)
- stuffed squash (I have 4!)

the beginning of it all

This is my house, I bought it in 2002, and have spent the last 5 years slowly repairing the millions of things that are wrong with it.
This is how it looks now.


I have a full time day job, but on the side I paint pictures, murals, and make hats from recycled sweaters. Thanks for modeling Forrest & Ingrid! (And random baby.)




Hopefully I'll be posting pics about how I've fixed up my house, fun things I'm making, food I'm cooking, and so on and so forth. We'll see how it goes...thanks for stopping by.
