Weekday Cooking (on a Week End)

Camp Food
There’s something kind of strange about eating while camping (especially after you’ve realized how much wild food there is). Mostly you eat really crappy food. And you have to take it all with you. If you plan very, very carefully … Continue reading

Eating Wild
Juice runs down my fingers as I take a tentative bite of cherry. “Oh my god,” I say, nearly spitting it back out. It is extremely sour, to the point of being bitter. I pick another, this time being sure … Continue reading
