Another yummy recipe to check out is Maangchi’s jobchae video-recipe. I link to her Blogger page on the right-hand panel, and she has a number of great recipes, but I will also insert the video here: I had no idea how easy this delicious recipe is, and it uses yam starch noodles, which are perfect […]

Porky Kraut
This recipe has one of the greatest deliciousness:ease ratios that I know of. I learned it from our Hungarian cousin Kriszti, and I can’t remember the Magyar name for the life of me, so I made this one up myself. All you need is: 1.5 lbs pork shoulder roast, cubed or sliced fresh Polish sausage […]
Too Much Zucchini?
Forget about the dang pancakes already! This is something you have to taste – The recipe is taken, shamelessly and without editing, from the Joy of Gardening Cookbook with frosting from Grandma Gwen’s recipe box. It is so incredibly delicious and if I am doing my arithmetic right, it is about 75% zucchini. (Just don’t […]
Beef Borscht – Lillian’s Way
This week we got beets from the CSA. They’re still small but already perfect for borscht! These ones have light-colored insides, so they’re better for beef borscht (rather than the all-veggie cold borscht, which I prefer to be magenta). First I made beef broth from scratch.

Turnips: not just starvation food anymore!
You may or may not know that Dan and I are splitting a CSA (community supported agriculture) share with our friend Kristine. It still seems to be ‘springtime’ at the farm, so we’re deluged in greens of all sorts. One nice break from those, though, are the sweet little Hakurei turnips we get. Unlike the […]
Faux-sotto
This is so tritely named since the end product surprised me with a texture almost identical to risotto, and trite does not preclude apt. It’s a pretty simple pasta dish, good fridge velcro, and can really make you look like you know what you’re doing, especially if you get to explain what a velouté is […]
Welcome to our Blog!
Hi there family, Joe and I had been discussing making a blog like this. I think this will be a good way for us to share recipes online and will hopefully encourage us to record what we cook. We all love and appreciate good food and, let’s just be honest here, kick ass in the […]
