CSA Hauls week 5 & 6
Well, Stephanie has been super busy, so apparently she has bailed on the CSA Haul posting for those 2 weeks. Hopefully she’ll be back doing her sworn appointed CSA Haul duties this week. Just so we are completists, here’s our haul lists for the previous two weeks: Here’s our haul for week 5 (picked up…

CSA Haul Week 4: Beyond the peas
I’m really sick of the peas. The first week they were so fresh and springy and we had tons of them – they became a lovely afternoon snack, part of a warm salad, and a dinner side with balsamic vinegar. The second week they were less fresh and less springy and I struggled to steam…

Our CSA haul – a new weekly series beginning soon
One of my recent resolutions is to blog more frequently here at Yonked.com. I’ve been blogging three or four times a week at StephanieSchwab.com, and I’m finding that now that I’m writing regularly it seems easier to commit to more frequent posts here as well. So I’m planning on a weekly series of posts about…

Yonkers Riverfest and X20
We went and partook of an annual event at Yonkers– the Yonkers Riverfest— five stages of musicians, lots of people, street food, crafts etc. And it’s all free to attend! Considering the scale of the thing, it was kind of podunk. While they had huge amounts of bands, and a fair amount of people– (The…

The Christmas Goose
For Jews, we’ve led a very busy Christmas season. First we had our faux-Christmas on the second day of Hanukkah in Chicago – when we traditionally exchange gifts, under the Christmas tree, with my dad and stepmom and siblings. (Nancy, my stepmom, is not Jewish – and there is a long standing, though somewhat odd…

Her family has a huge to-do about Chanukkah, with a traditional dinner, the traditional opening of the presents, and a lot of other events. While we were there,we had a very busy social schedule, which…

Turkey inadequacy
So here I am, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, expecting 10-12 guests in our house (including most of Adam’s immediate family and a nice repesentation from mine), and I haven’t started shopping. In fact, I only even started making the shopping list this morning, and while I was making my list decided to call Fairway to…

Old Spices
Not specifically about Yonkers, but it’s a lot about moving and combining households (or not moving, and the lack thereof.) Stephanie found this great advert in the local newspaper, which explains how you would know if your spices were 15 years older or more. I’m sad to report that more than a few of the…

Dinner at somebody else’s house
So last night, while Stephanie was in Tampa on a combined business/pleasure trip (mostly business, but her mom lives in FL, so they hung out for a day) I ended up going to a Yonkers party that was quite nice. My blog buddy Lesley and her husband Stephen had a little belated housewarming, and they…
