Over the weekend, Brittan and I exercised a very uncontrolled experiment by eating only processed foods. In part, we were taste testing some items to add to our emergency storage. Much of our storehouse is made up of dried or home canned goods. We also have two freezers and are about to add a third [...]

Brittan and I are big yogurt fans. We love smoothies and Greek style yogurt with honey. We recently discovered that our Alpine goat’s milk makes outstanding yogurt. It’s great for cooking, too. Take a cup of yogurt, a half cup of milk, some honey or sugar in the raw, vanilla, and frozen blueberries or frozen [...]

I’m a fat man. Pretty much by default that demonstrates I love food. It also indicates a lack of restraint, but I digress. The point is, I do love food. I love raising it. I love eating it. I also love, as does Brittan, preparing it. Cooking is a passion my bride and I share. [...]

B and I love cooking. And we love trying new things. She is reading a cheese making book as I type this post. I think she plans to make her first attempts at ricotta and cream cheese this week. I’m pretty excited about it. I, on the other hand, have been trying my hand at [...]
Pastured Eggs – First Impressions

Yesterday morning, before getting ready for Church, I fried up two of the pastured eggs we picked up from a local farm. It seems appropriate to share my first impressions. Before that, some background. Making the move has been hard for me, because I am such a bargain lover. Ok, I’m a cheapskate. After all, [...]
