I have all these tabs open so I don’t lose track of the recipes, but my browser is starting to drag … so that I can close them, here is what we have been making, in no particular order: Portuguese-ish clams and sausage, except I basically barely followed the recipe. I used soft, [...] Pretty platonic radishes are pretty, originally uploaded by laurenipsum. Look! I made exemplary radishes! So I’ve been feeling bad about not cooking the ducks from a while back. Garth, meantime, has gotten into charcuterie. This has led to an accidental convergence of Meals of Duck here at Dropstoneland. Sunday night: Alton Brown’s Mighty Duck, with homegrown duck (with Laughing Crow garlic, organic orange juice, market mixed kale [...] So it turns out that my challenge in Dark Days is not local food so much as it is new recipes. I’ll be in the kitchen cooking away, and thinking “this is awesome! this is delicious and super local! I should post it!” only to remember that I used it last year. This has [...] Wow, that was fast. After the last batch of 75 didn’t all sell, I was thinking we’d have to do at least two days at market. But one day plus some excellent word-of-mouth plus everyone stocking up for the winter means we are sold out already. If you want to get on the [...] I was at the market last weekend hawking chickens, which is always fun, but there are still plenty left. Order now and spread the word to family and friends! Details here: http://www.dropstonefarms.com/2010/08/chickens-round-3-pickup-august-21-23 Order here: http://tinyurl.com/chickens2010-3 Skip the deposit, since the mail probably wouldn’t get to us in time. Our first batch of chickens this year went pretty well. We didn’t lose very many of them, and they had a good and uneventful life. Processing went smoothly too, once we resolved three different electrical issues (wrong extension cord = another trip to Lumberman’s; tankless hot water heater not working = trip home for [...] Silly as it seems to have ripe peppers, freshly-processed chickens, tons of herbs, and tomatoes coming soon, but not use them, I’m turning to frozen herbs and frozen roasted peppers and tomatoes plus a chicken from last fall to make a variation on this pulled chicken recipe. Gotta get the freezer emptied out in [...] ** UPDATE! 7/22 ** While most of the details here are still correct, this batch of chickens is long gone. We’re now accepting orders for the second batch. Sign up here: http://tinyurl.com/chickens2010-2. This batch will be ready July 31. The rest of the logistics as described below still apply. We are now accepting [...] For some reason I got all het up to make some sour cream this week. I followed this recipe, because I didn’t realize Mother Earth News had one too. But they are pretty much the same. So once I had this sour cream, I froze 3/4 of it but we still needed to [...] Our locally-raised pig was slaughtered a couple of weeks ago and was finally butchered and ready to pick up last Saturday. Yay! We put everything into the freezer but kept a package of 2 pork chops out for dinner that night, and grilled them up with my favorite not-very-local marinade — red wine vinegar, [...] Local food friends Anne & Ryan hosted a potluck for the Olympics opening ceremony this week, and the assignment was to bring an international dish (because it’s the Olympics, you know). I have an affinity with Belgium, having spent a year there on exchange in high school, so I violated the rules of going [...] |
