{Bread Baking} Basic Sourdough
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, so one of my comfort foods in life is chewy sourdough bread, preferably still slightly warm from the morning oven. While there is decent, although not perfect, commercial sourdough bread available in Upstate New York now, when I first moved here in the late-80’s there…
{bread making} Homemade Naan
We are trying hard to cultivate frugality so we can stop working and do what we want; writing, gardening and traveling. This is not an easy lift for me. I have taken to silently chanting “cessation of desire” every time I step into a store. Because of our life style goals, that is, life without…
{the breadbox diaries} English Muffins
In an effort to make more of our everyday staples from scratch, I’ve been thinking about what I buy on a weekly basis at the grocery store. I went through the basic food groups and tried to identify a few things we seem to always have on the list that I might be able to…

{from scratch holidays} whats in your bread basket?
Thanksgiving in my family is a big deal. Usually anywhere from 35-50 people, mostly related (my mom is one of nine… two generations later and there are a lot of cousins to go around), gathered together in one home. Several turkeys, Pop’s special stuffing, potatoes, veggies, tons of pies, you get the idea. I’d like…

{Interview} Community Support Bakery with All Good Bakers
I first read about All Good Bakers’ entrance into the Community-Supported-World from a brief Table Hopping blog post a few weeks back. At that time they were in their “market research” phase of starting the area’s first Community Supported Bakery. They had a questionnaire for interested parties to fill out..so biz savvy LOVE it! I…

Another Canning Guru, Mrs Wheelbarrow, was on NPR for her canning and blogging. She writes about the experience on this…
“Real” Food as Fuel!
As is posted in the about us section and possibly in some other posts, both myself and Amanda are currently in training for the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon that is taking place this fall on 10/10/10. I can imagine that you’re wondering what the heck this has to do with food, but it does I…
