SOMETIMES, WHAT A cook needs more than a recipe is instinct. Intuition. And this summer, my instincts have been dead on, at least when it comes to my favorite homemade condiment, pesto. This old standby has had multiple reinventions this year, and the inspiration is still coming… [click to continue…]

IS IT POSSIBLE to plant the right amount of zucchini? I planted 3 plants. THREE. I skipped any other summer squash altogether. I congratulated myself on my behavior: sober, sensible, even restrained. I had learned, I thought, from my elders, from my own past experiences… [click to continue…]

From 'The Betty Betz Teenage Cookbook', 1953
MY FIRST PICNIC of the season is breathing down my neck: it’s the capper to the kids’ last day of school. Sounds lovely, right? Well, maybe for someone less spent than I am at the moment. With none of my own cooking creativity left to mine, I decided to delve into the archives here at TSP to see what past picnic resources I might unearth. Are you in need of outdoor eating support?

SISTER MARGARET IS A giver. That’s why, over on that OTHER blog of hers, she very generously gave away five (FIVE!) copies of the amazing, yes, lovely, garden-to-table cookbook Love Soup by Anna Thomas (winner, as it happens, just last week of the 2010 James Beard award for “Healthy Focus” cookbook of the year). “Hey! Wait a second!” said I. “What about the fabulous foodie sisters here on TSP? Don’t they deserve some soupy-and-more love, too?” Margaret is a giver, and so is author Anna Thomas, and as a result, we’ve got three more copies of this wonderful book for YOU to win. Want one?

I FIND MYSELF DRAWN to art evoking sister imagery, like that of LISA CONGDON.
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.
