I’m totally feeling your pain concerning the weather. I’m about two hours south of SF right on the coast and we’re dealing with the same garbage cold weather…and smoke. Yay.

Beyond all that, the meat pie sounds amazing. I’m going to have to check and see if we have a CSA program around here.

I’ve not heard of a meat CSA before; great idea! The recipe sounds good, too. Summer has finally arrived where I lived; we had been soggy and cold during “June-uary”!

Hmm, I’ve been needing to cook a couple roasts that i have in the freezer. Perhaps I’ll catch a break and we’ll get a cold snap too because this sounds good!

Mmmm… that sounds terrific, even if it is pretty darn summery around here!

This sounds delicious and I can relate to the cooler weather. Although Chicago is nearing the 90-degree mark this week, our spring was delayed by about 2 months this year and incredibly wet to boot. I was making hearty winter fare right up through May!

I am surprised it’s not hotter here than it used to be. Very strange, I am not complaining though. August might be a different story so I might need to make this soon!

This recipe looks amazing. I’m going to try it this weekend!

Thanks for the idea!

I love your veggie method.
So sorry about your weather! Cranky and I are building an outdoor kitchen on the patio (hotplate, charcoal grill, minifridge). Yes, it’s warm here. C’mon up.

Joan: I’m not whining? Good thing this isn’t a podcast! And yes, the pan-braising is a lovely trick year-round.

Sam: isn’t it funny what happens when you write a weekend wrapup, and then the weather changes? Needless to say, next week’s menu calls for something MUCH more summery!

This post is making me laugh – the antithesis of a certain someone’s twitter today, a twitter that might have been predicting 150F in these here parts
