Today’s weather was glorious and made for driving about the backroads doing country errands. While stocking up on oats, sugar, and other sundries at the small bulk foods store run by a local Amish woman I saw her husband out gathering hay in their field. The field was beautiful with [...] In yesterday’s post I offered the world’s easiest blueberry preservation technique- freezing. I also promised to provide an overview on how to make blueberry jam. I’m a gal of my word, so as promised, I put together a primer on making and canning blueberry jam. First, a couple words of caution:
This recipe is specifically for blueberries. [...]
“One berry, two berry, pick me a blueberry. Hat berry, shoe berry in my canoeberry. Under the bridge and over the dam. Looking for berries. Berries for jam!” from ‘Jamberry’ by Bruce Degen
It’s blueberry season! Find a local U-Pick place, grab your large kitchen bowls and get yourself some blue gold.
Blueberries are serious power food. Not only are they [...] We’re home safe and sound from our weekend get-away. I have to say two more unrelated food things and then I’ll get back to the business at hand. It was unbelievably wonderful to spend some time alone with my husband.
Okay, one last non-food related item. [...] I am taking the weekend off! My husband and I are going to get away for a night for the first time since we’ve had kids (that equals 10 years for those of you who wonder…)
I’ve spent the night away from the kids before, but it was when I was in the hospital having more kids, [...] “Lift me up and take me back Walking on walking on broken glass” Annie Lennox
This song has been tearing through my head lately. We have had an abnormally high number of broken dishes around chez us lately. In the last two weeks someone or another has broken one plate, a [...] Yesterday was my first day of the year full of the manic joy that is canning season. My garden unexpectedly delivered a colander full of pickling cucumbers. Some of the cucumbers had been doing a good job of hiding and were pretty huge. My job was clear. Pickle them while they’re fresh! The large ones were sliced thin [...] Yesterday was B.U.S.Y! Aside from the normal frenetic pace of life that goes hand in glove with having five sons ages 10 and under we had other pressing matters. I am milking goats for friends up the road while they visit family, planning for a wedding rehearsal dinner I’m catering in August, helping put up firewood [...] When we finished up our end of the school year testing a couple weeks ago we were due for a celebration. The boys, after a great deal of discussion over lunch, decided to celebrate by putting together their own picnic. Because really; what do you do immediately after eating? You plan a picnic, of course. They got [...] I’ll keep this to the point. Make these burger buns. They’ve been our family favorites for a couple years now and I know it’s burger season so I’m back to evangelizing about these rolls. Ask my sisters, Mom, brothers, Aunts, and other assorted family members. They’re probably really glad I’m blogging now so that I can [...] |
