I know, I’ve posted this before but artichokes are back in season so I want to repost it. Artichokes, boy do we have a lot of them! Sometimes we’ve got as much as 20lbs of them languishing in the refrigerator. And really, you can only eat them boiled, steamed or barbequed so many times. So…
Every Christmas Eve we have a crab feed at my house. This year was a bit different because Tom and Junior actually went out and caught the crab for the dinner table. They had great luck catching 6 rock crabs and 6 large Dungeness crabs. More than enough for 5 people, one of which wasn’t…
Today’s post comes from Kitty over at Havenscourt Homestead. She graciously gave us some of this delicious pate this weekend to try out. I’m a fan of liver in general sauteed up with some garlic – yum! But if you don’t like eating liver you may still like pate. ————————————————————————- Rabbit Liver Pate Mention liver…
Mmmmm, rabbit We’ve got so much rabbit and so very little freezer space right now, with more rabbits on the way. We needed to do something with all this rabbit and let’s face it, I’m getting a little tired of just braising it. Rabbit’s a very lean meat and can be quite tough if it’s…
I always wanted to make these after watching that movie, but I never got around to it until I had them at a friend’s house last year. This is a good way to use up all those green tomatoes that are left over when it gets too cold to turn them red. There are several…
For as long as I could remember I’ve hated tomatoes. Raw tomatoes to be exact. We harvest hundreds of pounds of tomatoes every year and I can’t stand them. I like salsa fresca but it has to be blended almost smooth for me to eat it. If it’s got chunks of tomatoes I avoid them….
I had received this wonderful book called Homemade Cheese: Recipes for 50 Cheese from Artisan Cheesemakers by Janet Hurst to review. I’ve been making some cheese with our goat’s milk but not very much because they don’t produce a lot. I wanted to get more practice but it was going to take us a while…
One of the things I’ve been missing while going a year without groceries is crunchy, salty snacks. I’ve made crackers before but have never really been happy with the recipes. So I decided to find something closer to a true saltine cracker. Unfortunately when searching for a “saltine cracker recipe” all the recipes that come…
I’ve never been one for New Years resolutions. Somehow nothing I promise myself in the dark cold of December/January ever sticks. Winter, for me, is a time of peaceful reflection. It’s a withdrawal, a hibernation of sorts. It’s a gathering-in and a taking-stock, but it is rarely an effective time to make any real changes….
(This recipe’s gonna be short. Which is good, since it’s great for those last-minute parties where you still want to be a snobby foodie, but don’t have the time to make something complicated.) It’s winter. It’s raining, and I feel like I haven’t been sufficiently warm or dry in weeks. Generally, I am not a…
