The Story of Carlos and his March to Restore Sanity.

by adam October 30, 2010

So unbeknownst to you all– we have a third member of the family.  You know about AA, you know about our cat Joey, but did you know about the third member of our clan?  He stands about 10 feet tall, he doesn’t say much, and he lives in the garage.  (no, I’m not talking about [...]

CSA Hauls week 5 & 6

by adam July 19, 2010

Well, Stephanie has been super busy, so apparently she has bailed on the CSA Haul posting for those 2 weeks.  Hopefully she’ll be back doing her sworn appointed CSA Haul duties this week. Just so we are completists, here’s our haul lists for the previous two weeks: Here’s our haul for week 5 (picked up [...]

First Week of School

by adam July 10, 2010

AA went through his first week of school, and the short and the long of it is that he LOVED it. After 45 minutes, it’s cleanup time, and then it’s time for a snack.  We are hoping that peer pressure will get him to stop drinking milk out of a bottle and out of a [...]

CSA Haul Week 4: Beyond the peas

by stephanie July 2, 2010

I’m really sick of the peas.  The first week they were so fresh and springy and we had tons of them – they became a lovely afternoon snack, part of a warm salad, and a dinner side with balsamic vinegar.  The second week they were less fresh and less springy and I struggled to steam [...]

Dadapalooza Post: On Taking the Bear to the Theatre

by adam June 28, 2010

As some of you may know, I’ve started up a Dad’s blog also:  http://www.dadapalooza.com.  In that blog, I’ll write specifically about being a Dad, and the pleasures and perils of that position. As many of our Yonked readers may be interested in reading those posts also, but in interest of not duplicating content everywhere.  I’ll [...]

CSA Haul Week 3: Video Walkthrough Edition

by adam June 24, 2010

Since S is out in Utah speaking at the EVO conference, it’s up to me to blog our CSA Haul for this week. I thought I’d give you a little visual of the CSA grabbing itself. Stephanie rarely goes, so it’s up to me to actually grab the food every week. When you arrive, you [...]

CSA: SLOW COOKER RECIPE

by adam June 21, 2010

Realized that we needed to start cooking up vegetables, so I pulled out the slow cooker, 3 lbs of pork loin from the freezer, and went to work. Cut up a raft of last week’s scallions, still good, but getting very green. Garlic scapes Turnips. 1/2 cup cider vinegar the remaining chimmichurri marinade. (about 1/8 [...]

What kind of sleep hole have we dug?

by stephanie June 20, 2010

I’m really starting to think that we’ll never sleep well again.  From the beginning Adam and I agreed that we didn’t believe in letting Aaron “cry it out” at night – we didn’t want him to think we were abandoning him or that we didn’t care. And so for the first ten months, nearly nine [...]

CSA Week 2: In which Joey gets his greens

by stephanie June 18, 2010

We’re seeing a nice bounty thus far, though it’s still early in the season. I can’t remember if it was last summer or the summer before, but one year we started with a really meager share as there was too much rain in the spring and the fields were flooded. It wasn’t until the end [...]

Second summer

by stephanie June 12, 2010

I can hardly believe we’re starting Aaron’s second summer. As I sat yesterday watching Adam push him on the swings in the playground, it seems nearly inconceivable that a year ago Aaron wasn’t even walking, and now the playground (“paawk”) is a major fixture in our lives. Aaron is such an outdoors boy; maybe that’s [...]

CSA: First haul of the season!

by stephanie June 10, 2010

Today was the first day of our CSA!  We were told by the farmer that it could start this week or next, but due to the plentiful rain and nice weather, this week was it. I’m really excited to “liveblog” our CSA experience this summer.  And though haul posts are typically video, I plan to [...]

Creating the logo for Yonkers.

by adam June 7, 2010

There’s a very interesting arts contest going on right now at   http://www.citid.net/ They are asking graphic designers to create a logo for their city, that captures the vibe of that city.  It’s for a future book and exhibition. Not being a graphic designer, I decided to come up with one anyway.  My idea is that [...]

Our CSA haul – a new weekly series beginning soon

by stephanie June 2, 2010

One of my recent resolutions is to blog more frequently here at Yonked.com.  I’ve been blogging three or four times a week at StephanieSchwab.com, and I’m finding that now that I’m writing regularly it seems easier to commit to more frequent posts here as well.  So I’m planning on a weekly series of posts about [...]

From Mama to Mommy

by stephanie May 16, 2010

It seems that Aaron is growing exponentially – every day there are a bunch of new words, new crazy antics, and new attitudes (“no, no no!”).  But the most surprising of all is that suddenly, in the span of the last three days, I’ve gone from being “Mama” to “Mommy.”  I think I call myself [...]

Back in business: Goodbye, Blogger!

by admin May 7, 2010

It’s a longer story than perhaps you want to know, but for a brief time, our blog was actually somewhere else. Suffice to say, we are now back at http://www.yonked.com and our feedburner (to read us by RSS)  remains http://feeds.feedburner.com/Yonked If you want to read the rest of the story, read below:
