Things are kinda slow in my kitchen and garden right now. So, in lieu of my usual highly engaging (ha!) content, I give you: the wordpress.com 2011 annual report for this blog. (And if you want to see how it compares with last year, here ya go.) Here’s an excerpt: A New York City subway [...]

I just posted some thoughts about food, nature, and risk over at my other blog, Charismatic Megafauna, which is even more neglected than this one!

Please excuse the serious lack of activity around here. I’ve been keeping my new mother alive with champagne, spending some time eating and photographing snow peas (our only successful fall crop), stocking up the freezer with chicken stock, and eating a healthy dose of black-eyed peas for New Year’s. But I just haven’t gotten around [...]
Applesauce with a Crunch
Posted in Blogs, Recipe, Sweets on September 9, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I tried out Molly Wizenberg’s recipe for Vanilla Applesauce with a Crunchy Meringue Cap. Molly gave me permission to publish her recipe in the September issue of Oklahoma Living. I had never worked with meringue before and I’m not a fan of fluffy meringue pies; however, this concept of crunchy meringue intrigued me. The cap [...]
Meal Planning
Posted in Back to Basics, Blogs on July 8, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I think an impediment to the prevalence of whole, fresh food (and thus, local food) in our diets is the lack of home cooking. And one impediment to home cooking is reluctance and intimidation toward meal planning. This is an easier obstacle to tackle compared to lack of time or money. Though, as meal planning [...]

Here are some food-related articles I’ve recently read. Are there some good ones I’ve missed? It takes a community to sustain a small farm “I used to think there were four distinct pieces to a local food system: production, processing, distribution, and retail. Now I realize there is a fifth: community. Without an involved community [...]
Slant and Sausage

Do you subscribe to Meatingplace headlines and blog updates? I can’t remember how I came across the site, but I continue to read and get pissed; read, get pissed. It’s my education on inserting bias and “fast, flexible, fully automated sausage production.” The industry blogs are even more fun, where bloggers like Yvonne Vizzier Thaxton [...]

Sustainable Agriculture = Community Development Excerpt: “As currently structured, the food system is a sieve through which a substantial portion of wealth in low-income communities leaks away — with little of value to show for it.” Red Meat and Mortality Excerpt: “Eating lots of red meat increases the chances of dying prematurely of cancer and [...]
Marshmallows
Posted in Blogs, Experimenting, Sweets on March 26, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Just in time for the rain, sleet, and snow that we may be getting tomorrow: a recipe for homemade marshmallows! When I told my mom that Chelsey and I were going to make homemade marshmallows, she asked, “Tricia, do you know how cheap marshmallows are?” No I don’t, but that’s not the point. What is [...]
