A camp for grown ups – it’s all about the beer

August 8, 2013 by Amy Langrehr

So, maybe you’ve been to camp. Sleep away camp, sports camp or science camp, perhaps. When I was a kid, I went to a bunch of lacrosse and field hockey camps…we ran from morning to night. This other kind of camp sounds much better: BEER CAMP. Not many people have been to beer camp – …

What’s your story? Here’s mine…

August 4, 2013 by Amy Langrehr

Branding. Creating your ‘you’ – telling the world what you’re all about. Big companies create taglines like “Just do it” or “We love to fly and it shows.” In today’s world of social media branding, hashtags do that, too. Some of my faves are #golocal #pleaseandthankyou, #ilovethiscity and #deliciousness. Shocker…I love food. And Baltimore. A …

Irish Roots

March 12, 2013 by Amy Langrehr

My Mom (um, hello…Peg Fitzpatrick) is Irish. Her great-grandmother Catherine Buckley arrived in Baltimore on a ship from County Cork in 1850 at the age of 16. And…when you see my Mom, you say…yep, she’s Irish. And, while my Irish Mom is a big part of who I am (and my Dad, too…I named my dog Henry in his …

Backyard Chickens in Charm City

January 8, 2013 by Amy Langrehr

So, you have a friend in the country with chickens. Or, you read an article online about people in Brooklyn raising chickens on a rooftop. Or maybe you opened up the new Williams-Sonoma Agrarian catalog and thought…I want chickens! Then you start to wonder if they’re even allowed where you live. Well, if you live in …

A delicious adventure begins

November 19, 2012 by Amy Langrehr

About a year ago, I started playing around with recipes for salted caramel brownies. I wanted something that was salty and sweet in one bite. I’m not a huge sweets person – give me olives, cheese, chips any day of the week – but dessert? Dessert has to be amazing for me to really love …

The hard part

September 3, 2012 by Amy Langrehr

Loss is a part of having pets. If you’ve ever lost a pet, you know. It’s brutal. Even with chickens. Over the course of about a week, a predator killed all three of my new backyard chickens. They were two months old and had personalities, names and favorite snacks. As I found each one dead over …

What came first?

July 9, 2012 by Amy Langrehr

Last summer, I became an urban farmer. Okay, not really…I just started keeping chickens in my Baltimore City backyard when I got four baby chicks from my friend Joan at One Straw Farm. Over the last year, I have learned so much. Figured out what to do with hens that turned out to be roosters …

The Source

February 1, 2012 by Amy Langrehr

I enjoy an adult beverage from time to time. And, by “from time to time” I actually mean a few nights each week, to be honest. That’s okay, right? Say right. After a long day, there’s nothing like putting your feet up, watching some tv and sipping on your favorite drink. Happiness. Luckily, I live just a few measly blocks from The Wine Source in Hampden. I noticed a …
