In early December we bought tortillas from Jose’s Tortilleria. We got a mighty stack of white corn tortillas—still warm—for a few bucks. What a deal! We did our best to use them up with some mole-inspired roasted pork, but didn’t come close. We used a few for breakfast burritos. We even tried them as a [...]

The Original Jack o’ Lantern Was Creamed

A couple years ago I zealously ordered 5 pounds of turnips through the food co-op. I avoided them so long they eventually became expensive compost fodder. A couple weeks ago, on some unfounded confidence, I decided to make a turnip side dish for our dinner party. Why not experiment at our first-ever dinner party? And, [...]
Shredding Potatoes
Posted in Breakfast, Experimenting, Preservation on November 28, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Quick idea: If, after dehydrating your potatoes, you still have more you need to use up, make hash browns! Grate the potatoes with a cheese grater, spread them out on a cookie sheet or plastic cutting board, freeze until solid, then transfer the potatoes to a freezer bag. (The potatoes stuck somthin’ fierce to my [...]
Drying Potatoes
Posted in Experimenting, Preservation on November 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Here’s a little clip of me using the handy-dandy mandoline to slice a wee potato. The uniform, thin slices vastly improved drying time compared to last year. Drying the slices takes around 1.5–2 hours at 215˚, depending on the type of cookie sheet and the oven rack placement. It took probably around six hours to [...]
Wild Food Walk
Posted in Events, Experimenting, Local on June 9, 2009 | 2 Comments »
A couple weeks ago I went on a wild-food walk near Coyle, Oklahoma. The rain let up enough for our hard-core group (or just hard-core nerds) to pile into the back of a 4×4 pick-up to hunt pokeweed, lamb’s quarters, ramps, mushrooms, yarrow, mullein, horsetail, yucca, river reed, heals-all, and Iowa sage. After the walk, [...]

I Scream, You Scream

It all started a couple weeks ago. I had two 16-ounce containers of local cream that was in danger of going bad. I needed to make something to use it up. I considered pudding, but that much warm yummy goodness would be dangerous in our house. Some evil little voice whispered, “Ice cream. Pssssst: Ice [...]
Marshmallows

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 [...]
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 [...]
