About this blog

My name is Erin. I'm 26 and live in Brooklyn with my Dear Husband.

I’ve tried to blog before. Tried to tumbl too. I tried writing about advertising. I tried writing about food. I quit the ad biz, but I’m still eating. And cooking more than ever. And I just joined a CSA.

My CSA is called the Brooklyn Beet CSA and most of us live in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn.For now, I want to share my experience as a member of this new CSA group as well as tell the story of how I attempt to use all the vegetables, fruit and pasta I receive every Tuesday. Perhaps if this blogging thing finally works out for me, I might start sharing my experiences in dining and cocktail imbibing.

Tuscan Bean and Swiss Chard Soup

This is a recipe from epicurious: Tuscan Bean and Swiss Chard Soup.

I'm rating this between GOOD and GREAT (Good: It was good dish, but wouldn't make it again. Great: Highly Enjoyable, would make it again) because I would make it again if I had the ingredients and needed to use them, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it again.

My changes: subbed Tuscan Beans with canned chickpeas. Didn't have fennel and left it out.


Sweating Onions


Chopped Rainbow Chard


Soups almost done

Final product, topped with grated cheese
