While my yard is blanketed in white, the onset of the gardening catolog season is already beginning to flush our post office box with fun new catalogs. I’ve already spent more than an hour pouring through hundreds of tomato varieties in the Totally Tomatoes catalog that arrived two weeks ago. I probably earmarked about 30 different varieties I’d like to grow but I guess I better think about slimming that list down!
I’ve also spent the morning relishing over a couple of food blogs that do a great job of combining gardening information with some delicious looking recipes. I quickly became a fan of Kalyn’s Kitchen blog and the myriad of healthy recipes she’s concocting and sharing with readers. I also got a lot of great ideas from reading her summer blog post on the bounty growing in her backyard garden and the recipes utilizing it.
I now have food blogs on the brain too. Maybe it’s the delight of eating yourself silly during the holidays that’s got me on the subject. I regularly read Farmgirl Susan’s Rural Food Blog and enjoy every single post. It’s partly because I’m jealous of her life on the farm. She also suggested some great food blogs including Nami-Nami from Estonia, Garlic Breath from France and Lucullian Delights from Italy. I think they’re enough to transport you to another country, if only for a few minutes!

Have you ever thought about the environmental impact of all those paper coffee filters you might use to make your pot of coffee every morning? Our last coffee maker required a special kind of paper filter.

Homemade Eggnog of a Different Flavor by Nate on December 27th, 2008
Are you egg-nogged out yet? I can't seem to get my fill of the drink that is delightfully bad for us! Sometimes the usual old flavor gets boring though.

food blogs are fun to read and we do need to start getting the garden plans set.. Although we do have about 2-4 months before the earliest of our garden will awaken.. I can’t wait for the bulbs!!! Yay!
