Here are some cool maps the NYT created using data from the 2007 Census of Agriculture. And here’s a map I made to show the distribution of Oklahoma Food Co-op producers.

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 [...]
Freezing Greens

Look at all this lovely produce that came in my December co-op order! Carrots, collards, spinach, kale, maitakes, shiitakes, pumpkins, and cauliflower. Honey, too. Inspired by Bob and Chelsey, this month I ordered a lot of greens in order to cook and freeze them for later. Cooked greens always amaze me—an overflowing pot of velvety [...]
Yummy Meals

Here are highlights from some recent successful suppers. First up is the squash tart. Frozen flaky crust is a new find. How did I not know of its existence before now? It seems like a good thing to keep in the freezer for producing surefire yummy-ness on short notice. I’m pretty sure you could wrap [...]
Rendering Lard
Posted in Beer and Wine, Blogs, Co-op, Experimenting, Fat, Flops, Meat on December 4, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Lard. Lard. Lard. Lard. Lard. Maybe if I say it enough it won’t sound so lardy? I read Real Food by Nina Planck several months (maybe even a year) ago. It’s like In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan, but more simplistic. Both have their merits, but I took away more from Real Food probably [...]

Putting Food By

Let me preface this post by saying that the National Center for Food Preservation is the bomb. They make food preservation so simple! If an unfamiliar method or term is listed in the recipe, you can bet it’s hyper linked to a full description, often with accompanying photos! So, this mad day of canning all [...]
Competitive Grocery Shopping
Posted in Co-op, Local on August 1, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Shopping at the Oklahoma Food Co-op has become a competitive enterprise. The order opens promptly at 8:00 a.m. on the 1st of each month. Last month I didn’t sign on until 10:00 a.m., and to my dismay, all the chicken, bacon, eggs, and most fruits and vegetable were wiped out. There was still plenty to [...]

Nice, thorough video about the fantabulous Oklahoma Food Cooperative:

Here are some mushroom meals we’ve had over the last week. We got these beautiful fungi from Mushroom Planet out of Tulsa. I am so happy they joined the co-op! It’s so nice to get a variety of mushrooms, plus storage suggestions and recipes like the one below. .Pan-Roasted Maitake. :: 1/4 lb coarsely chopped [...]
