The weird thing about making gazpacho for dinner from the CSA ingredients is that the base of the salad/soup that is gazpacho is tomato juice from a bottle. I wasn't expecting that. I thought I was just going to puree the vegetables I had and that would be it. ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/08/18/whats-for-dinner-081408/ Mondays are the last full day of the CSA veggies because we get the new vegetables for pick up every Tuesday afternoon. So sometimes the meal has a kind of sad air about it, the dregs of an installment, or sometimes tired vegetables. Usually, though, since they are delivered fresh ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/08/04/whats-for-dinner-080408/ One of the best things about being a parent is having a front-row seat watching a little person develop a sense of humor. What Chiara finds funny is punctuated by an infectious, gleeful laugh. And recently, she has started to make jokes that crack her up, but puzzle the rest ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/08/02/dont-step-on-the-cracks/ Tonight's dinner was one I would like to revisit from time to time, with some important changes.

Could it be that for about an hour I forgot I even had an infant daughter? How different it is to have a second child! I cannot remember ever having a ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/07/16/my-baby-ii/ Tonight we received more bok choy and chinese cabbage from the CSA! I had gone to the grocery store yesterday and bought a few different kinds of seitan and some tofu and tempeh so that I had options for all these cabbage-y vegetables. We had a stir-fry of tofu, bok ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/06/24/whats-for-dinner-062408/ On Sunday, the 24th, we celebrated Luke's mom's birthday by having dinner at her place. Unfortunately, since Michael was out of town, she had to cook her own birthday dinner. And did she cook! She made two desserts and had the sweetest most beautiful cherries on the table too. We ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/06/24/one-word-plastics/ We joined a CSA this season and received our first weeks' produce on Tuesday. There is sooo much here that I'm not sure how i'm going to keep up. But surfing the web for recipes helps. We received not one, but two enormous bunches of mizuna, red and green, and since ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/06/23/whats-for-dinner-061908/ Two weeks early, but perfect and sweet, Jemma Jaehee was born on June 6, just after midnight. Jemma means gem but we spelled it with a J, which for me recalls Jem, the big brother in To Kill a Mockingbird. Jaehee means "brings delight," and the Jae and the Hee syllables ... http://www.jeanhee.com/blog/2008/06/14/welcome-baby-jemma/
