The Cracker Project | Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters

Rock Solid – Natural Stone Planters. Laquo; A Little Fishy…. February 23, 2011 by Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters. Some people really enjoy making things from scratch. I am one of those people. Knowing that I created a meal, snack, beverage, whatever it may be, from ingredients that I combined makes me happy. I like knowing what goes into things. Crackers are now some of those things. The next batch of crackers were better, but still I felt I could improve them. My goal was to make Breadfarm. As my g...

Going Whole Hog | Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters
https://rocksolidnaturalstoneplanters.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/going-whole-hog
Rock Solid – Natural Stone Planters. Laquo; Dark Days 2011/2012. December 4, 2011 by Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters. We bought a pig. A whole pig. That’s a lot of meat. And because we like food projects we told the butcher we wanted all the scraps, organs and leaf lard. We knew we wanted to make sausage with the scraps instead of having the butcher make all the sausage for us. That way, we could try some recipes in the Charcuterie book. What did we do with the pork liver and heart? Was challenging&#...

Rock Solid – Natural Stone Planters. Laquo; Beautiful Beets. March 17, 2011 by Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters. I’ve been interested in celeriac for the last year or so. That knobby, ugly vegetable that most people have no idea what to do with. When I purchased the celeriac for this recipe, the woman at the checkout counter asked in an accusatory tone, “What is this exactly? Came from Molly Wizenburg. As you can see, it was a very monochromatic meal. Everything we ate was a shade of white, and bo...

Dark Days Dinner #1: Laura’s Meatloaf | Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters
https://rocksolidnaturalstoneplanters.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/dark-days-dinner-1-lauras-meatloaf
Rock Solid – Natural Stone Planters. Dark Days Dinner #2: Homemade Pasta. Dark Days Dinner #1: Laura’s Meatloaf. December 10, 2010 by Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters. This year has been good to us. In addition to our large backyard garden we transformed our front yard into productive growing space as well. We purchased 50 chickens through Pastured Sensations. I think I initially tried making Laura’s meatloaf because it required a minimal number of ingredients which I already had on hand, and be...

Exploring not-so-big living: September 2007
http://notsobigliving.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Little house in the big suburbs. Tuesday, September 11. Quote of the day. We all use power. So to achieve a "big difference" in total power consumption you need almost everyone to make a "big" difference in their own power consumption. If everyone does a little all that we will get is a little. David J.C. MacKay. Sustainable Energy Without Hot Air. Page 271, 9/9/2007 version). A book in progress at withouthotair.com.

Exploring not-so-big living: July 2007
http://notsobigliving.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Little house in the big suburbs. Tuesday, July 3. But a scathing investigative report in Rolling Stone. Posted on June 20th. Lays bare what we have long expected. Mr. Cheney sold out our nation's future, our ability to handle global warming in a sensible and measured way, to corporate interests lobbying for inaction. I can't do the report justice, but RS has a brief summary slideshow here. Oh, and the freedom to make jokes about what people who are commuting in their SUV's are compensating for. ;-).

Yumminess Ensues: Home Made Sausages- vegetarians beware*
http://yumminessnsues.blogspot.com/2009/03/home-made-sausages-vegetarians-beware.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2009. Home Made Sausages- vegetarians beware*. I'm not sure where making my own sausage falls in that description. Around here, lots of people make deer bologna in the fall, after hunting season, so I guess making sausage doesn't really put me too far out of the norm for central Pennsylvania. Well, at least the sausage making doesn't put me there, I can't speak to the rest of what I do. And I have been having a conversation about a kind of Eastern European sausage called cevapi. Chuck ...

Rock Solid – Natural Stone Planters. Laquo; Winter White. December 3, 2011 by Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters. Welcome back to the 5th annual Dark Days Challenge! This is the 3rd year I’ve participated and I’m excited to hear over 100 people are taking part in the challenge this year! It’s inspiring to read about what other bloggers are growing, cooking, sourcing, and learning about their local foodsheds. I’ve talked before about what local means to me. Frontyard raised beds (late-July). 2011 was the...

Dark Days #3: Geoduck Chowder | Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters

Rock Solid – Natural Stone Planters. Laquo; Dark Days Dinner #2: Homemade Pasta. Dark Days #4: Deep Dish Pizza. Dark Days #3: Geoduck Chowder. December 31, 2010 by Rock Solid - Natural Stone Planters. May 2010 brought a new adventure that we hope will be an annual event: “duck” hunting. No, not the kind that fly and quack, the kind that burrow three feet deep in the intertidal zone. I’m talking about geoducks; the world’s largest burrowing clam! What you’re looking for). We learned that hunting...It help...
