A new project
Hello! And welcome to my blog. This is a new project for me, and I'm still working out the kinks in the templates and such (anyone know why blogroll won't work? anyone? bueller?), but over the next few weeks I'll be fixing it up and rolling out some content.
Obviously, the topic of this blog is vegetables, and the always-exciting adventure of using up each week's share from our CSA. But it's also about food, and cooking, and how it's possible to be busy, sometimes exhausted, and occassionally lazy, but still manage to put together some really kick ass meals. However, since it's still only March in Maine, the CSA is just starting its planting, so in the meantime I'll be writing about cooking in general. I'll include my recipes when possible, and Otis's as well. It should be interesting to compare and contrast. (An Otis recipe: start with 1/4 lb of pork fat. A Marya recipe: spray the pan with Pam.)
I'll also post about restaurants we've gone to (I'll soon write about our incredible Shelton Brothers Beer Dinner at Hugo's this past Sunday), and dinner parties, and all sorts of other foodie-type stuff. Thanks for reading!

Hey Marya.
This is great. I think it will be a nice way for me to get acclimated to the level of food awareness that surrounds me. I am sure I will be able to pick up some illuminating vocabulary. And this is a good looking site.

Marya,
I love it! I am putting together a family cookbook (www.heritagecookbook.com--great templates, really easy), and have been trying out new recipes. Also have been thinking about CSA's for a while (although Jackson insists it will just be really expensive COMPOST...sigh). Miss you here in the other Portland! Smooches: Niamh (Ruby, and Charlie, and Jackson, and Gracie, the dog).

What a fun idea, for a family cookbook. Love it. The CSA is definitely a committment. The key for us is the giant freezer in the kitchen. Makes saving stuff so much easier. And there's a process of trial and error, too-- like what will freeze well, or how many refrigerator pickles you can eat in a summer.
We miss you too! Much love to everyone, maybe someday we'll see you? We're going to have to come to Portland some time.

Hi Marya...and welcome to the foodblogosphere. It's been a little lonely being the only food blogger in Maine (that I know of) so I'm very happy to see Accidental Vegetables! Natalie at Wolf Pine pointed me to your blog...I can't wait to see what you do with the veggies this summer....
