Cheese and Herb Sourdough Pinweel Rolls

We got to the cinnamon roll recipe on the GNOWFGLINS Sourdough eCourse and Tara at Keep It Real had the idea to make them into dinner rolls filled with cheese and herbs.

I broke out my Sand Creek Farm gouda cheese, shook on some Penzey’s Sandwich Sprinkle and Brady Street Cheese Sprinkle, drizzled some melted butter [...]

Vignettes

This last week has been getting back into the groove. I went back to work after a two week vacation to move and it felt a little strange. Since we had moved in here, I hadn’t been working so I had to shift my thinking out of the put-stuff-away, do-do-go-go mode into the sitting-behind-a-desk-and-working-all-day mode.

So [...]

Corn Muffins

I made some corn muffins with my split pea and ham soup tonight for dinner. I was looking for a good recipe when I stumbled upon Smitten Kitchen’s recipe.

I made some edits to the recipe though. I used sprouted whole wheat flour, honey instead of sugar, and raw milk instead of buttermilk (mostly because I [...]

Best Moments of the Week - 9/22

- The neigbor’s rooster who comes to visit my hens. I can all but imagine him coming up and saying, “Hey, baby…”
- The sunrise and the sun on the dew on the grass.

Mushrooms

In addition to all the toads that have been proliferating in all this rain, we’ve had quote a crop of mushrooms pop up. I could really do without all this humidity though, it’s getting a little too tropical for my tastes. Despite all this, all the life that springs out of it is beautiful.

There’s big [...]

Settling In

We’ve been moved in the house for two weeks now, and I’m covered in bruises, scrapes, mosquito bites, strange rashes, and mouthwash and vinegar. It’s been a long two weeks. I go back to work tomorrow, which is going to feel really strange. As long as I’ve lived here, I’ve not been working…I’ll have to get [...]

Hazards of Country Life

I think I’m going to have to start a new section – that about living in the country and things you don’t think about when you come from the city.

- If you forget to close the front gate, and you haven’t yet installed cattle guards or automatic gate openers, you really do have to get [...]
