Family Dinner, Part 2

Posted on October 5, 2017October 6, 2017 by Sam Kornstein in Boston/Cambridge, Food, Garden, Recipes

Last weekend I shared a bit about a new Boston-based farm to table food delivery company called Family Dinner that was recently started by a couple friends I met at Sloan. The post is here. At that point, I had just received my first share, and was excited to dig into it with Laura. Well dig into it we did. True to the company name, the mix of food inspired us to invite some friends over and go all out by cooking a big Sunday night dinner. It was great. We started the night with a grilled open faced quesadilla, with the poblano peppers and cherry tomatoes from Family dinner, and the rest a mix of things we had around

Something’s Brewing (In the Garden)

Since I’ll be out of town for most of the Summer, I’m taking a risk this year and am starting our deck garden fairly early, betting there won’t be any more frosts. Here’s what I planted this morning: A bit less ambitious than last year, with fewer large plants such as cucumbers, snap peas, and tomatoes. Nonetheless, if all goes well, we’ll have plenty. The Chinook hops plant is three years old, and the Cascade plant is two. Both have already started growing new vines for the season. Each year these plants shoot up vines that reach 20-25 feet (we string them up to the roof). The hops flowers mature in the late summer can can be picked and dried for beer
