“This unctuous, giving gastronomic tool will become all chefs’ and cooks’ friend, finding untold uses in the kitchen. No fridge should be without its jar of Trotter Gear. … Nuduals of giving, wobbly trotters captured in a splendid jelly. One can sense its potential even now.“ —from A Healthy Jar of Trotter Gear in “Beyond [...]

I was conceived in South Korea.
Posted in Fermentation, Meat on July 9, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I don’t know the details of my conception — and I’m quite fine with that — but in 1979 my mom and dad were stationed at Taegu Air Force Base in South Korea, and love was in the air … along with fragrant kimchi, burning kerosene, and pit toilets. I don’t often get the opportunity [...]
An entirely different breakfast muffin

An update on the prosciutto cups I posted about last month: This morning I made the muffins using shaved ham from the Oklahoma Food Co-op. I am happy to report that it worked just as well as the prosciutto. Just as before, I had to overlap the pieces, since few were long enough to completely [...]
Something Different

The nights are getting chilly; we’ve put the flannel sheets on our bed. I am excited about the changing season, yet seeing these peaches and tomato slices makes me miss summer already. Here are some memorable meals from late summer. How time flies! August 28. Crispy Prosciutto Cups Adapted from Managing PCOS for Dummies (Odd, [...]
Here’s some straight-up food for your viewing pleasure. July 31: Salad, corn fritters, and smoked salmon we brought back from the “Take Home Fish Company” in Neah Bay, WA. 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, [...]
Eat Your Heart Out
Posted in Experimenting, Meat, Recipe on February 8, 2010 | 6 Comments »
February and hearts go hand in hand: conversation hearts, cardboard heart-shaped boxes filled with cloying mystery chocolates, and teddy bears cradling crushed-velvet hearts. But then my mind turns to actual hearts: the thumping, life-giving kind. Oh, dear. Is this going where I think it’s going? This month’s recipe might be a little off-putting if you [...]
Slant and Sausage
Posted in Big Food, Blogs, In the News, Meat, Media, Reading and Research, Status Quo on November 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
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 [...]
Chicken Brigade
Posted in Community, Events, Local, Meat on October 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »
People met in a parking lot this afternoon to pick up their birds. A volunteer-led effort has helped a new Oklahoma chicken processor get a good start by selling 1,300 processed chickens in four days. The processing plant’s success is key to regional, small-scale food security since it 1) is in Oklahoma and 2) is [...]
A Mother-Clucker of a Deal!

Let me break my blogging dry-spell by sharing this great deal! This information comes from an email I received earlier today: A new small-scale chicken processor just got their USDA certification and are busy processing birds. This processor also raises birds a few miles from the processing location north of Tahlequah. These birds are housed at [...]

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 [...]
