  1. sure, it's in Morrisville, cost is $500 with a pickup each week in either Morrisville or Newtown plus pick-yer-own at the farm plus the standard 4 hrs volunteer at some point. 22 weeks and half a bushel each week. Website is Snipes Farm and CSA info is Snipes Farm CSA altho I believe the deadline was two weeks ago.
  2. We're trying out Snipes Farm CSA this summer, up here in Bucks County. First time doing it. Hoping to cook my way through Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking. I like the idea of guilt... like if you don't cook them they'll go to waste and there are millions starving for kale, and also it's like a gym membership - if you eat all that kale you don't feel like you get your money's worth. I'm excited to make kale parathas and kale stew and kale soup and kale pizza and kale ice cream and kale fondue and

    Dried Fava Beans

    well I can buy them online but they're expensive... Kalustyan's has them and Bob's Red Mill packages them... but if I'm spending $6 a lb on them then they're not a good cheap meal, they're an expensive hassle.

    Dried Fava Beans

    So all my middle-eastern and italian cookbooks say look for skinless dried fava beans in an Indian market... I have a Indian SUPERmarket near me and can't find them there. The grocers/salespeople there are no help. My only lead is that they are called Chikkudu. Unless they look completely different than Fava beans do when they still have their shell on. Any help?
  5. on a sidenote... the woman who runs the RTM Thai place also owns Erawan on 23rd and Sansom and will make Thai food the Thai way if you call her in advance. Fit to be Thai'd Chowhound Thai dinner part 1 Chowhound Thai dinner part 2 I went on that outing and ate till I burst. Another aside: allegedly some restaurants will sell buckets of fresh grated coconut but I've never asked around... and then I got a coconut stool from the Thai market so I didn't need one. Anyone have a lead?
  6. hmm I missed this... was it New Heaven? I still regret my dinner there from 3 years ago. Rude, and bad sushi to boot.
  7. buncha places have chaat on their appetizer menus, such as Desi Village in Langhorne. I was astonished by the lack of flavor in everything I ordered 3 yrs ago at udippi... maybe I'll try it again based on the recs here.

    Indian Food

    Tiffin - Indian delivery in the city? Inquirer - 7/29/2007 "The name, Tiffin, was inspired by the lunch courier networks of Bombay, in which barefoot deliverymen called dabbawallas bring multichambered metal boxes of freshly home-cooked meals to office workers each day. And the heart of Narula's operation was dedicated to creating a changing, daily selection of three complete box meals inspired by homey specialties rarely seen on typical restaurant menus."
  9. thanks for the helpful suggestions. I've watched a few now and have a better idea what I'm doing. I'm not a creative cook in the least - I just follow directions - so it can be hard to figure out when a dish is at the right stage. Seeing someone else do it helps a lot.
  10. also some amazing cottage cheese and strawberry jam. We were there on Monday and got to see a 1-day old calf. We got the Gruyere, the Tomme, and the Dirty Laundry. The Gruyere and Tomme were both good table cheeses, altho I prefer french Gruyere which is oilier and more delicate and unctuous with lots more subtlety. Hendricks' Gruyere was heartier and more robust, but frankly for the price I'd rather do French. The Dirty Laundry, despite the horrible name, was a stunner. Less blue than blue, but still with plenty of moldy bite. The pate is sheepy, with an edible rind. A cheese to return for again and again, altho I may call in advance next time to make sure they have it in stock (altho I guess I could just read the email newlsetter).
  11. as recently as last summer DiBruno's was offering Hendricks Farm cheeses. I saw their "cow pie" - a 60-day raw milk camembert - at Whole Foods on South Street yesterday
  12. When it's 90 degrees out cheese will weep a lot of butterfat very quickly.
  13. Howdy! Thought this summer I might try to cook along to a video or two. I prefer videos that talk more about technique and less about the recipe. Cause I've got recipes, zillions of them. Like, close-ups of perfectly browned spices and ghee and onions. Any leads?
  14. Tiffin Tiffin Tiffin. Usually great, sometimes eh, rarely bleh. Samosa has good dosa. Lovash is bland beyond imagining.
