everything from scratch weekend






From top to bottom: sauerkraut, mozzarella and yogurt from Kate and Kevin's cows, apple stuffed squash, curried mushroom and squash soup with Bouchra's delicious rice and fish, fresh squeezed orange juice, biscuits

For a couple dollars, I had bought the Moosewood cookbook, and this winter, I intend to follow recipes and expand my cooking horizons, particularly with spices and butter. 

To my surprise, the instructions for making sauerkraut and yogurt are strangely similar and equally loose. Is it because we want the probiotics? Quart-sized mason jars are incubating in our small kitchen: Matt calls them "experiments", not cooking.

Ecology studies the interrelationship between organisms and their environment. It originates from the German word okologie, first used in 1873.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
What would be the hope of being personally whole in a dismembered society, or personally healthy in a landscape scalped, scraped, eroded, and poisoned, or personally free in a land entirely controlled by the government [or corporations], or personally enlightened in an age illuminated only by TV? - Wendell Berry
