From the Kitchen

In our kitchen these days you’ll find…
- a wooden bowl full of eggs – some ours, some our neighbor’s, all fresh and yummy.
- some quick lacto-ferments. These days I am not fermenting for food storage so much as to have a quick high-enzyme addition to our meals on hand. These southwestern fermented carrot sticks were easy and did the trick.
- fall foods like root vegetables and prunes (made into these delicious stewed prunes with orange and clove) on the menu.
- empty cups of tea that give away my daily cooler weather habit.
- a corner for my daily kefir making now that I’ve got kefir grains going once again.
- a baby girl who now eats three meals per day with the family.
- and two big brothers who eat as much as their mama and papa.
Yes, this kitchen is becoming a busy place once again. Now I am off to throw together a bread recipe from a cookbook that I can’t wait to tell y’all about.
What’s going on in your kitchen?
I love reading all your updates. 🙂 Would you mind sharing your recipe for the carrots? Do you use whey or salt for your ferments?
I just want to thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you for another day. 🙂 I just tearfully told my husband that I would give anything to be able to stay at home, tending to plants and animals all day, baking bread, cooking dinner, cleaning house, getting kids to and from school, and just living simply in general, struggles and all…..I want this so badly that it makes me ache, I continue with my baby steps to homesteading. Keep blogging, love your story. Marie in Vermont.
