At the beginning of this week, my mind was all set to do a VENT post. As things turned out though, there was no time to do a vent post and instead I have time today to give thanks. What did I need to vent? Oh, the usual. What I thought of on Sunday [...] Last year, I made a resolution that we would shoot for “optimum” in our diet…. meaning 7-9 servings of vegetables and fruits a day. And I was successful. Note the *I*. For a couple of weeks there I was able to get my servings of veggies and fruits. About half-way successful with [...] I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. We’ve made butter often enough in our DLX, but I’ve been wanting to try making it with Snowville Creamery’s heavy whipping cream (*not* ultra-pasteurized) since it became available at Whole Foods. The other — also important — reason for making butter is that I’m in [...] Twenty-five pounds of these gorgeous beauties. Picked up Saturday from Adam Batson of Ohio Brush Creek Cooperative, at the Montgomery Farmer’s Market. Processed and packed for consumption! And going, going, going…. fast. First up was the must-have summer treat: Strawberry Shortcake. I firmly belong in the camp of “cake” over “biscuit”. [...] Sunday evening, preparing food for the week…. Monday: Dried figs Tuesday: Baked Meatballs with Honey-Ketchup-Mustard-Soy Glaze Wednesday: Grilled Scallops (marinated in [...] Look at the menu! My boys (scouts and daddy the scoutmaster) will be volunteers at Adventure Base 100 (that’s a link to the PDF flyer), so the girls (and Nino) are tagging along to sample food. One strategy to consider: sample everything once. Then the good things twice. Ahaha… I just totalled [...] These are resources I didn’t find in our local library. I’ve gone ahead and requested that they purchase these, so hopefully I’ll be able to read them one day soon. Make good use of your library’s “suggest this purchase” page! These are food-related books but I’m sure I’ll be adding more. [...] By tomorrow evening, our freezer will be filled again… (I do have a few roasts left, from our last order!) We get our beef from Elizabeth Cox and family. We bought from them for the first time last year. No regrets. Love supporting [...] With Panera, that is. Over the years, the quality has just gone down steadily, After the merger with Au Bon Pain, I was predicting that it would come to this, eventually. And it has . To me and my bread-loving family (the ones that are not allergic to wheat anyway), it’s nothing more now [...] Got this from a farmer on the CinciLocavore list: Scroll down to the bolded portion to find out what consumers can do to help out our farmers. The Senate’s version of the food safety bill, S. 510, is expected to come to the floor in mid-April. While the Senate Committee made some changes to try to address the [...] It’s 2:09 am and yes, I’m still awake. Made allergy-free brownies for Aisa’s party with her college friends (+the Walshes) and I forgot that I made it with regular coffee, STRONG-BREWED even… and now everyone’s asleep and I’m still awake. I’m going to be dead in the morning, just when little one will be [...] Ciabatta + My Favorite Dipping Oil Ciabatta… an improvised one so I don’t have a recipe. I had some leftover poolish from making a celebration bread… so I added some flour and salt, a bit more yeast then some water…. too much flour, added water… which is harder to do so I broke the dough [...] I’ve tried this before, but this is the first time I actually cooked so much it will maybe last two weeks. Maybe. Remember I have an 18-yo and a soon-to-be-13-yo. They eat. A lot. Or actually they don’t. Because when I cook I usually don’t have enough for everyone — [...] |
