Of Goats and Greens
A blog for food and cookery and discussions of weird things like nutrition, restaurant excursions, growing food in my own garden, DIY, and farmsteading/homesteading. But, mostly food. Mostly harmless...
I definitely steer to a preference for Real Food. (Would someone's great-grandparent somewhere have recognized that item as food?) Otherwise, I'm an omnivore who travels the world (gustatorially). Yes, I also make use of "odd bits". No, I don't bake desserts much -- I really don't have much of a "sweet-tooth". Nearly all of my recipes in recent years are gluten-free. And other than coconut, my recent and future recipes are tree-nut free, as I have digestive issues with those. There's a strong Paleo influence here.
I try to post recipes every Friday, with potential supplemental posts on Tuesdays.
Please leave me comments! Interacting with folk drives me forward!

Dining Out: Jesters Coffee Shop, Brookfield, CT (Breakfast)

Dining Out: Pera Bistro, Williamstown, MA
I went on “walkabout” last week, taking a spontaneous short vacation for four days, three nights. Such is possible sometimes when one is retired. It could never have happened in the years before this. I just simply left home, telling … Continue reading
Dining Out: IKEA, New Haven, CT
Yes, I know, Ikea has meatballs and a bunch of other food items in their cafeteria. I’m very very picky about meatballs, and I’d say none of the other menu reached out and grabbed me, either, but I will say … Continue reading
Dining Out: The Lazy Goat, Greenville, S.C.
