Does not make me think of eating, but the idea and composition is interesting and well done. I don't think the point is to make folks hungry, but to leave an impression, an endeavor that is succes...
I don't know yet, but when we get our first 2 gallons of raw milk from our cow share, I will let you know. Store bought buttermilk is kinda ick, but I love kefir, yogurt, and other real fermented ...
The internets are my recipe book. But I don't usually follow them. I browse a few similar recipes and then make what I think sounds good. It may or may not lean towards one of the recipes. I do...
Sundays mean creative breakfasts while the kids put on the nicest clothes they can find to wear to church. It does not take long to get ready and we get up at about the same time everyday, so the ...
No, I would not buy a store-specific cookbook. Ever. I love T J's, and love much of what they sell, but I really can't stand recipes that call for any branded foods, no matter what I think of the ...
I love foraging, and even roadside stuff if the traffic on the road is relatively low.
We harvest all sorts of weeds in our yard, and have collected almost 2 *gallons* of black raspber...
Dried apricots, figs and raisins, along with a variety of nuts. Currently brazil, almonds, cashews and peanuts.
I admit a weakness for peanut M&Ms, so it they happen to be available (...
I think we called in "kalamungay", and the kids in the neighborhood would strip the trees in our area of leaves for their soup. Most likely Mama sent them out to collect. The plant is entirely us...
Anything that requires special tools, and anything that combines eggs and onions. I will eat an omelet or quiche, but I will not make them, as I merely tolerate the taste for the sake of nutrition.
The greatest concern would be confusing water or poison hemlock for parsley. The leaves in the photo look like parsley to me, but I would recommend reading up on water/poison hemlock to make sure ...
If I had my way, we would have a nice thick maple chopping block in the kitchen, with bamboo accessory cutting boards, if needed. But what we have is a muddle of variously sized plastic boards and...
As long as food commodities are traded globally, there will be risk of such chain reactions. I applaud those countries that protect their food supply! At the same time, crop subsidies should only...
This is our first year in our first house with our first garden. We have big plans: 200 square feet in raised beds is already in, with another 200 or so going in before mid May. That does not inc...
Hell no. If my food needs processing I will do it myself, thank you. Eggs already have their own biodegradable packaging, why replace it with plastic?
I wish I could use stronger wor...
What ever we get from our tree. Last year it was some grade A Medium Amber some Grade B. This year it all seems to be Grade A Fancy. Maybe it will darken up a bit at the end of the season. St...
We are deep into sugaring season now and have already harvested around 56 oz. of syrup from our maple in the front yard.
We were also inspired by Little House in the Big Woods.
Ah, durian! I love the smell because I love the taste! I have not felt so strongly towards any other fruits. The only rival is cashew fruit. It brings back memories. Out here in the boonies we...
