Another cold front is breezing through H-town today, and it is causing us to have visions of hearty bean soup. We make ours with bunches of ham, because that's how we like it. However, we'll give you the very veggie option, if you are not so omnivorous. This soup is quite good the first day, but, we prefer to make it a day or two ahead of time and let all of the flavors marry and the starch from the beans break down and thicken it. This is simple, inexepensive and freezes well - so, make a nice large batch and freeze some for later. more ›

Houston Farmer's Market will be at Rice University today, in the parking lot south of Rice Stadium. Free parking is available at Entrances 9, 13A, 13B and the Greenbriar Lot from 3:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Even though it starts during "normal business hours", the best selections are, of course, available early. This week, the Market will have, among other things: cucumbers, strawberries, peaches, gelato, summer squashes, dandelion, grass-fed beef, poultry, pork, bison, eggs, raw cow and goats milk cheeses, ready-to-eat foods, hydroponic tomatoes, hand made soaps, and organic gardening products. So, head on over and put some "green" in your lifestyle by working in organically and locally grown foods. While you're there, don't forget to check the selection of handmade items - you may need to treat yourself or replenish the gift closet. more ›
