And we’re not done yet, my friends. After trying the latest batch of pepper biscuits, my neighbor requested some made with rosemary and sea salt, and I was happy to comply. I think she was envisioning the same yeasted-style sticks, but with my overabundance of whey, it’s buttermilk style.

Whoa. What a day of eating that was. I’m taking a break until at least 10am. With all the whey left over from my cheesemaking adventure I’ve got some cooking to do, so I figured a good place to start was brunch. I still have two more jars full, so I’ve got to find some [...]

I ordered a kit from The Cheese Queen at cheesemaking.com to make my own ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. Inspired by Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, I’m done with the plastic tubs and rubbery flavors of store-bought cheeses. And as seen in my previous posts, cheese is a staple in this house. I was shocked at how [...]

Pepper Biscuits
2 cups warm water
2.5 tsp yeast (1 package)
1 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp salt
7 cups flour
1 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 tsp fennel seeds
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and let stand about 5 minutes. Don’t be concerned if it’s not very bubbly, as there’s not much yeast for all the [...]

My neighbor once made a wonderful baked dish with tons of fresh veggies, and invited us over to share. Never dumb enough to pass up an amazing homemade meal, Chris and I dug in with vigor. A couple of seconds later, I looked over at my man and noticed that he had changed color. At [...]

I don’t remember where I got this recipe, so my apologies for the lack of reference, and our main camera was out of batteries, so my apologies for the fuzzy picture. Sorry all around!
I still had some limes left over from our farm share box 3 weeks ago, and because they’re so picked-from-the-tree fresh, they [...]

For Jenny H: Lewd towels promised, lewd towels delivered – these are my latest creations…
Designs courtesy the super easy, divine and addictive Sublime Stitching, writing courtesy me. I’m so proud. I may add to them soon, to cover up the line I accidentally transfered under the “dinner” girl, but they’ll do for now.

Easiest dinner side dish of all time, and it doubles as an amazing addition to eggs the next day for breakfast! Any root veggies will work in this – I happened to have some turnips, red potatoes, garlic and carrots. All you do is cut your roots into uniform pieces (so they cook evenly), combine in [...]

I’m not! I just planted some supposedly summer-ready chard seeds this morning, so I’m looking forward to yet another season of this wonderful adaptable veg. Sundays are for many things – gardening, pancake breakfasts, reading, CBS Sunday Morning, surfing, embroidery, bike rides and Planet Earth , but mostly Sundays are for feasting. I teach a [...]
