Kombucha was something I’d heard of back in the 90s when it was “in vogue” again for awhile. I’d never given it much thought because I’d always heard it called “mushroom tea.” Who wants to drink mushroom flavored tea? Well, there’s no mushroom involved at all. There is a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and [...]

So… I last stated that my next project would be bacon. I meant to have pretty pictures for you. This did not happen. Out of respect for the life of my digital camera, and the fact that manhandling a 4 pound slab of pork belly really makes one appreciate the saying “It’s like wrestling a [...]
So, it’s been more than a little while since you’ve heard from me! I know, I’m surprised at how long. It seems that just last month I was making Christmas cookies!

Shopping at the farmer’s market isn’t like going to the grocery store. When going to the store I go with a list in hand. I know what I am going to make, and I know what I need to buy. At the farmer’s market things are the other way around. I buy what is in [...]
