http://theerraticepicurean.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Eating well when you're broke as hell. Wednesday, September 7, 2011. Can all you can continues. The can of bug spray is a necessity back at the garden. egads! The mosquitoes are terrible! First on the agenda was something new - tomato paste. i've never made it before but i do love it. sometimes when i'm cooking with tomato paste and i only need a blop or two i finish off the rest of the can with a spoon. mmmm! First up - wash, core and chop the tomatoes. Look at that paste! Beautiful and very, very tasty!

the erratic epicurean: photographic evidence of how i spent my summer
http://theerraticepicurean.blogspot.com/2012/09/photographic-evidence-of-how-i-have.html
Eating well when you're broke as hell. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Photographic evidence of how i spent my summer. It all started with strawberries and for some reason late may/early june seems like a really long time ago. These strawbs became a strawberry balsamic jam. YUM! I have several quarts of berries in the freezer still so i'll be doing that flavor again once the garden slows down. This summer i am really into small batch jams. My usual ratio is about 2 - 2 1/2 lbs. fruit to 1 lb. sugar. And i lo...

http://theerraticepicurean.blogspot.com/2012/09/food-swap.html
Eating well when you're broke as hell. Wednesday, September 26, 2012. A couple of weekends ago i hosted a backyard food swap - the first of what i hope will be many, many, many more swaps. Here is the evidence! There was so much great stuff! Besides the things i swapped for there was also wine, homemade root beer, breads, ginger simple syrup, essential oils, fresh herbs and produce, heirloom plants, sweet potato waffles, granola, sauerkraut, goat cheese - even dog treats!

the erratic epicurean: busy, busy, busy bee
http://theerraticepicurean.blogspot.com/2012/08/busy-busy-busy-bee.html
Eating well when you're broke as hell. Thursday, August 23, 2012. Busy, busy, busy bee. I haven't posted in FOREVER! I think i am probably beyond erratic and can now be classified as mostly negligent. Anyways, pretty much all i do is gather vegetables and fruits and herbs from the garden and the farmers' market and then stand over my dutch oven and canning pot and food saver. seriously. On a high note - we're totally kicking ass at the farmers' market with our produce, hypertufas. I love your site! I lov...

Eating well when you're broke as hell. Friday, November 4, 2011. Lord, i was born a ramblin' (wo)man. Per usual i am being quite erratic with my postings. c'est la vie. Life is for livin' not bloggin'! In any case, here are some of the things i've been eating and cooking and doing since we last saw each other. I made grape jam for the first time a few months ago and boy is it delicious! First we picked a buncha grapes. Then i put the jam through the food mill to get rid of all those pesky seeds. We've ha...

Eating well when you're broke as hell. Wednesday, October 3, 2012. So i did this foodie pen pal thing. A friend told me about this cool foodie pen pal.

the erratic epicurean: April 2012
http://theerraticepicurean.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Eating well when you're broke as hell. Friday, April 6, 2012. When i was a kid my aunt lived in texas and when she came home at easter she brought cascarones. With her. i remember our family having so much fun chasing each other around the yard trying to smash confetti eggs on each others' heads. good times. I decided i wanted to make some this year. I got my coloring water ready (food coloring white vinegar boiling water) and i started cleaning out my eggs. I used what i had on hand - leeks and asparagus.

Eating well when you're broke as hell. Saturday, March 12, 2011. Some odds and ends. I am still cooking and we are still eating even though i haven't been keeping this ol' blog up to date. in fact, we've been eating really. Well as of late! A few sundays ago i made an AWESOME cider and onion braised pork shoulder. here's the fixin's for a killer sunday dinner. The shoulder braised for a few hours and i served it over a cauliflower puree with some braised kale on the side. mmm! And look at these beauties!
