"Raspberry thyme jam all picked from my yarden #yardgarden. No kitchen renovation can keep me from making preserves. #hamtramckhustleshardest #theperksofbeingahomeowner #grateful #gohomeracalberries #preservationnation"

"If I ever wondered why the women in the kitchen got pissed when 7 year old me snuck these little treasures from the baking rack as soon as they came out of the oven, I sure as hell don’t wonder now. These ackee patties are a bitch to make. Regardless, my heart is full, my mind reels in nostalgia and my nose stings with the heat of raw jerk sauce. I’m happy to have been raised in a country so rich in food history and even happier to have a chance to share what little I know of it with you guys tomorrow. Thanks mom and @welch.steve for toting me to the edges of that tiny island. I love you more than I can say and I’m one lucky brat to have you as parents."

"What do yo do when all your radish bolts because it’s 90F in May - you make the proverbial lemonade. Pull your crop, salvage whats edible, plant something new and make flatbread dough because we’re having radish green pizza tonight. And every other night until these tender flowering babes are eaten. #hamtramckgardening #imalemon #thisismylemonade🍋stand #bolt⚡️#sustenancefood is not always what you planned for."

"We went to @gather.detroit and ate it all #datenight #eatitall #conemakesdemands"

"And so we spring into our first real gardening adventure. Wish us luck! #theperksofbeingahomeowner #tillnexttime <— tilling joke"

"Four days of learning, eating and drinking with two of my favorite fellas. Thanks to @marrow_detroit for sending us kids to the big city on our dream quest. We hope the wisdom we bring back, when it’s put into action at our #littlelocalbutchershop and #neighborhoodexperimentalrestaurant does you proud"
