Learning about salmon.The absolute hands-down highlight of my trip was a morning spent on the Myrmidon, a bright blue, neat-as-a-pin, fiberglass bow-picker salmon gill-netting boat out of Cordova, Alaska. T...

Friday Food Files With Molly Watson: Berry Cobbler. by sfgirlbybay on Jul 17, 2009I can’t stop eating berries. I’m in Northern Minnesota.

After I repeat that ritual a few times, though, I’m ready for something else...

Friday Food Files With Molly Watson: Buttermilk Ice Cream. by sfgirlbybay on Jun 19, 2009My new favorite dessert is Buttermilk Ice Cream. It’s a bit tangy, it’s not too rich, and it goes absolutely perfectly with any summer fruit – berries, peaches, nectarines, cherries. P.S. Looking for fabulous summer reading? Even remot...

Friday Food Files With Molly Watson: Cole Slaw. by sfgirlbybay on Jun 12, 2009I recently went strawberry picking and came home with an ungodly number of the bright red fruits.
