Boston Lettuce Wraps are BOSS

June 10, 2012 by rachelocal

I don’t ever remember describing anything as “boss” when I was a youngster, even though I grew up in the 80s. Maybe I just wasn’t cool enough. This could be true since I just found an amazingly not cool photo of me as an 11-year-old. (If you’re reading this while standing up, I admonish you to sit down. You will fall over from laughter. Or shock.) I don’t know if I can show it to you… …I just can’t… …It’s […]

May 31, 2012 by rachelocal

There’s no better way to spend an afternoon than gallivanting around the countryside with a friend. That’s just what I did Tuesday with my friend, Natalie. We took to the road to find something good and local, and ended up in West Grove, Pennsylvania at Twelves Grill and Cafe. Twelves is an elegant restaurant housed in a renovated 1883-built bank.

May 16, 2012 by rachelocal

Everything else waited for me in the pantry and fridge. I know what you’re thinking. . .coconut milk and store-bought canned tomatoes are NOT LOCAL. This is true. BUT if you notice the countdown on the right, I am not going strictly local for 19 more days. Until […]

Local Asian Short Rib Tacos

March 10, 2012 by rachelocal

How can something be both local and Asian? Or for that matter, how can something be both Asian and tacos? Very easily in my kitchen. I try to make whatever I have on hand work; it’s how I came up with my famous Pasta (Because that’s the Only Thing in the Cupboard) with Sausage and Zucchini (Because that’s the Only Thing in the Fridge). Haven’t heard of it? I shall remedy that in a later post. This Asian taco recipe […]
