Union Square Market – 3:59PM July 31, 2009 It must have been the ozone in the air from today’s storms. I had better than usual vegetable activity at the Union Square market today. Zucchini flowers were lining up like dancers and baby purple eggplants were laid out like an old master’s painting. And this, a [...]

Greenmarket In the Studio #1
Beets are one of those foods folks either love or hate. I love ‘em. Roasted with goat cheese and grilled chicken in a salad on a hot summer evening. I took these guys back to the studio to give them their proper respect (thanks Aretha!) and then shoved them in the oven for an hour [...]

Craftsmen Revisited…
When I was a kid, my dad had a workshop, his sanctuary really. There were countless days spent at his side, building or fixing something, always setting up some kind of power tool or hand tool, depending upon the project of the moment. Much of that time I would have preferred playing outside with my [...]
