Just so you don’t think I’ve fallen off the face of the earth, I just got over the flu (or something similar).
Here’s the little nugget of wisdom I picked up during this sickness.
If there is only one person in the house who is concerned about healthy eating, when that one person gets sick, the household [...]

I was inspired to make these biscuits by Buttermilk Biscuits with Goat Cheese and Chive from Simply Recipes. I didn’t have the ingredients on hand that the author did, so I improvised.
1 1/2 cups freshly ground soft white wheat flour
1/2 cup freshly ground barley flour

2/3 cup buttermilk

The cupboards and refrigerator were getting low and I didn’t have anything planned. I was just an inch away from throwing up my hands and taking the kids out to eat (Shari was out of town). But I thought I would give a quick look at my favorite recipe site, harvesteating.com.

1lb ground beef
1/2 cup [...]

Alas, my starter did not succeed. I don’t know what happened, but I will be trying a new one next week. My guess is that my kitchen was not warm enough. I’ll be using my toaster oven as a proof box next time. I’ll have to skip it this week as I’ll be gone skiing [...]

I was informed the other day (not the first time either) that my bread is too sour. This even though a great deal of the sour is reduced by my judicious use of the acid removing properties of baking soda. I asked Shari why she thought it was too sour since she does like some [...]
