August 15: Buffalo and blue cheese meatballs, roasted okra from the garden (yay!), and potato salad (this is one of my favorite potato salad recipes because, [...]

Cornmeal Cobbler
Posted in Bread, Local, Recipe, Sweets on July 5, 2009 | 11 Comments »
Sweet cornbread baked on fruit. Brilliant! If everything goes right, Ressler Farms will sell cornmeal through the Oklahoma Food Co-op. When I met Larry Ressler in February, he asked about unmet demand in the co-op. I immediately thought of cornmeal. Someone used to make it—I can’t remember who—but it’s not available anymore. Well, there’s hull-less [...]

I get food as payment for my new internship. Delicious, fresh, glorious food. Last Thursday I left with arugula, asparagus, spinach, chard, and parsnip soup. Here’s what I did with some of it: I made arugula pesto. I used my mini food processor to chop the arugula to bits, then I mixed in chopped pine [...]

Hockey pucks in February: Some progress in April: I can’t remember which recipe I used! I gotta take better notes next time.
Baking Bread
Posted in Back to Basics, Bread, Co-op, Community on March 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Perhaps this war will make it simpler for us to go back to some of the old ways we knew before we came over to this land and made the Big Money. Perhaps, even, we will remember how to make good bread again. It does not cost much. It is pleasant: one of those almost [...]
Happy St. Patty’s Day

I may or may not be Irish. But for what it’s worth, an Irish lady told me I look Irish. It made my day. Do most people want to claim Irish heritage, or is it just me? The corned beef recipe from Charcuterie was creating lots of chatter on the Oklahoma Food Cooperative listserv, so [...]
Biscuit Bloopers

Sunday was a crazy day in the kitchen. I am tempted to say I would have been better off avoiding the kitchen all together, but I learned (and re-learned) a few things. I was very excited to attempt to make biscuits with rendered lard. I found a couple recipes online. I find it annoying that [...]
Ground Cherries
Posted in Bread, Garden, Sweets on September 23, 2008 | 6 Comments »
The ground cherry trial was successful! In April I was browsing for tomato transplants on the Seed Savers Exchange web site when I came across the intriguing description for Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherry. The plant spreads with low-lying branches that get so big, it is basically a bush. Little “lantern” husks dangle below the branches [...]
Thinking Outside the Garden

A couple of posts back I talked about edible “weeds” and plants in the wild that you can eat. I came across one of these plants—cleavers— in my yard and thought I’d share a picture. Not sure if this will be enough for you to identify it. Consider looking up more photos. It’s bright green [...]
