Larry Ressler’s cornmeal. I met Larry over a year ago. He was a new co-op producer—selling eggs and smoking wood—and was visiting co-op pick-up sites to meet his customers. We chatted and he asked what unmet demand there was in the co-op. Besides the typical needs at that time—produce, chicken, and bacon—I mentioned cornmeal. Later [...]

Cornmeal Cobbler

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 Scream, You Scream
Posted in Experimenting, Local, Sweets on April 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
Persimmon Cookies
Posted in Sweets on December 23, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m going to post a few brief entries to get caught up. I have seven drafts and some of them are getting a little dated. For example: these persimmon cookies. I’m pretty sure persimmons are no longer in season here in Oklahoma. I’ve been told their harvest window is very short. You gotta leave them [...]

Not a Good Night
Posted in Flops, Recipe, Sweets on October 10, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Not a good night in the kitchen. This is what happens when you add twice as much butter than the recipe calls for (unintentional, of course): In my head 1 stick of butter was 1/4 cup. So, since the recipe called for 1/2 cup of butter, I added two sticks. When I was puzzled by [...]
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 [...]
