{local event} Weekend of Baking
I tend to stalk people who intrigued me. Most of these people are intrigued with flour. Two of my favorite flour people are going to be teaching together soon. If you like flour at all, you will love this. Richard Miscovich and Kate Lebo are teaming up for a weekend of baking at foodwriter Molly…
{Bread Baking} Basic Sourdough
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, so one of my comfort foods in life is chewy sourdough bread, preferably still slightly warm from the morning oven. While there is decent, although not perfect, commercial sourdough bread available in Upstate New York now, when I first moved here in the late-80’s there…
{Eggs} Two Recipes: Three Ingredients
This Spring we were able to make arrangements again for an egg share. Every two weeks we get 2 dozen eggs from Soul Fire Farm. The eggs are priced on a sliding scale $4-6 per dozen. This experience is the next best thing to having chickens. We have been fostering 3 baby chicks as we…
{meet the meat} Carnivore Questions
When Chris first approached me about writing for From Scratch Club (over a year ago! woot!) we were both excited for me to write about meals and recipes that were a bit more meat-centric. I’m not a “Meatless Monday” kind of gal. I’m more of a “oh you aren’t eating meat on Monday? MORE MEAT…
{Recipe} Aunt Marie’s Swedish Meatballs
I posted a photo of these meatballs to Instagram and Facebook and few months back and the response was definitive: everyone wants my recipe. Here it is, Aunt Marie’s gift to you, Jennifer — When I met Aunt Marie back in the 1980s she was an active mother, grandmother and wife of the former mayor….
{Feel the Love} Pork Rillettes
I don’t think I’ve been shy about my love of the pig. I honestly think the best thing you can give a gal involves some kind of pork fat and since February is the month of the Valentine, I think it’s also the time for indulging a little. Forget the chocolate covered strawberries. I…
{Grain Brains} King Arthur Flour
In the fall of 2013, l I got to dive into King Arthur Flour. From a little hello at the county fair – where my son displayed a poster about how wheat grows in different soils – I learned that the vice president of the company lived in the neighboring county. A few emails later,…
{Recipe} Creamy Roast Turnip and Potato Soup
Tis the season for root vegetables here in my neck of Upstate New York! Roasting the turnips converts what can be a bitter or smelly cabbage-like veggie into a rich sweet addition to a creamy soup. Potatoes give this recipe a nice base, the two together complement and balance each other. Since we’re currently in-between…

{diy project} Mint Extract & Thin Mints
The first time I used fresh mint from the garden to make mint chocolate chip ice cream, it didn’t taste right. I was so used to store-bought peppermint ice cream that fresh mint tasted strange. However, over the past couple of years I’ve come to love that fresh mint taste. I’ve used mint from our…
{meet the meat} Jeni had a little lamb pita pizza
I make an annual pilgrimage to what has become a fiber artist’s mecca. The New York Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY has pretty much exploded over the past few years. Not to get all “hipster” on you, but I was “going to Rhinebeck before going to Rhinebeck was cool”. The crowds are insane,…

The Garden’s Last Gasp: Fried Green Tomatoes
We pulled our tomato plants just before the killing frost last week and although we simply threw most of them onto our long-term compost pile, we hesitated over the remains of our heirloom plants. We decided to pick out the rest of those tomatoes, both green and red. Michael said, “How about fried green tomatoes?”…
