Incubator Kitchens

I was fascinated to hear this week about six “Incubator Kitchens” launching in the Madison area. Like technology incubators, these kitchens will offer culinary start-ups support and a nurturing environment. The idea is that commercial kitchens will be offered to farmers and food entrepreneurs who don’t currently have the infrastructure or money to do what they want to do. The work in these kitchens will in turn help create great food, great companies and a stronger culinary network in Madison. It’s also a step forward in making more locally-produced food.

This quippy saying, coined this morning by Lou, couldn’t be truer and in fact, describes my Monday perfectly.

Bus Stop Valentines
Thu, February 11, 2010
from Shannon
At 7:10 a.m. every weekday morning, I stand on a sidewalk corner a half block from my house with neighborhood parents of 12 kids in kindergarten through third grade, waiting for the school bus. These bus stop moms and dads talk about everything from snow pant style to national news. We meet again later in the day.
Lately, one of the discussions has been cooking together. I invited each person to choose a partner, create a Valentine treat, and come to our house tomorrow for a Valentine exchange. Emily and I made heart-shaped brownies. It was definitely the highlight of an otherwise stressful day yesterday--drinking tea in Emily’s kitchen, catching up and baking.

Last Tuesday, I was over at Debbie’s house at around 5:30 pm as she started rummaging for leftovers and other end-of-the-week ingredients to make dinner.

When you’re taking on a project like making Macaroni and Cheese for 100, you better have a friend to help you.

Liz and I went to Costco the other day, each with our youngest child in tow, to shop together and split some of the plus size ingredients.

from Shannon
Just about now, those of us with a multitude of cold days and a significant amount of snow (you are the rarity in this country if you don’t relate) are looking forward to coming out of hibernation.

You’re Invited to Dinner
Thu, February 25, 2010
from Alison
It’s dinner party season and we’re celebrating by taking part in a cool promotion being offered by OpenSky. Eight shopkeepers (yes, we’ve been asked to be one of them!) have combined forces to provide shoppers with a tasty reward for purchasing something from their shops.
