Trout Caviar: Season of the Ramp
http://troutcaviar.blogspot.com/2015/05/season-of-ramp.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Season of the Ramp. It’s always a lovely thing to make that first foray to southeastern Minnesota trout waters in mid-April, for many reasons. The drive south is exhilarating, as I cross tiny Hay Creek at the corner of our property and then trace the southward route of its flow that begins in springs just up the valley from us. It finds its way to the Red Cedar River, and that pours into the broad, meandering Chippewa, a mighty waterway of this region. Or better to say:. Watercress...

I grew up in Iowa. Then I fled to Hollywood. Now I'm back in Iowa, a writer, living in a log cabin in the woods. This blog is about this weird life. My Family and Other Hazards. April 19, 2015.

Trout Caviar: Celery Root Buttermilk Rampoulade
http://troutcaviar.blogspot.com/2015/05/celeri-buttermilk-rampoulade.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. Celery Root Buttermilk Rampoulade. Seasonal eating in the North Country in spring often involves a collaboration between the root cellar and the first wild greens. So it was with this version of celery root remoulade spiked with pungent chopped ramps. Celery root requires a lot of cleaning up to be presentable. Using the medium-fine side of a Microplane box grater produces delicate celery root snow- neige de celeri, bien sur! Chop the ramps fine, including a little bit of the green.

Trout Caviar: November 2014
http://troutcaviar.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 7, 2014. The old oak "chef's table" is a kind of bridge between the old and new kitchens; it was all we cared to save. The almost original kitchen; we have the wood floor installed, replacing white vinyl, before we moved in. Indeed, enough about the bad old days. Here's a run-down of what we did, and why, in hopes that it might be useful if you're planning a kitchen re-do someday. And yeah, also just to show off, for sure. We came across them while browsing at Natural Built Home. The 60 ...

Trout Caviar: We Smoke Our Own, 2015 edition
http://troutcaviar.blogspot.com/2015/04/we-smoke-our-own-2015-edition.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. We Smoke Our Own, 2015 edition. In the spirit of re-embracing that cyclical, perennial essence of the natural world of which food—real food—is a part, it’s probably worthwhile to take up again the basics of home smoking. Brown trout are on the roster here, but the same basic principles apply to pretty much any kind of smoking. To take away any stigma of the arcane or difficult about the process:. Trout, having been brined. So as not to overlook the obvious:. The only difficult p...

Trout Caviar: August 2014
http://troutcaviar.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 21, 2014. Lettuce is a common volunteer if you leave the bolted plants around long enough, and in the herb world, dill is a reliable reseeder. Tomatoes often pop up in our compost, but they rarely amount to anything. Looking east. These are all coming out of a roughly 4 by 4-foot bin about a third of the way in from the left. Hanging in the adjacent bin. Another view of the sprawl. The volunteer squash are luring a variety of pests away from my cucumbers. Having surmounted the wood pile.
