With the nice weather holding steady, we decided to do a little more work in the garden. I’m hoping that by properly planting things in some waves based on the temperatures they prefer, that we will not only have good harvests, but I will not feel overwhelmed getting everything in all at once. As you…

3rd Winter’s Arrival
As expected, the third winter has arrived, bringing a dusting to the tops of all the mountains in the valley. Here in the base of the valley, we were graced with rain and a cooling of temperatures. However, spring will be back later this week, when we reach back up into the high teens and…
August & September Comparisons
Where has the time gone! Apparently, I have been slacking on updates and stories for the month of September. Though, I have been busy working on the yard and processing all the delicious food. My downtime for writing however has been taken over with teaching a new course this year. Reading a text book and…
Sun-Dried Tomato & Herb Bagels
SUCCESS! I had a successful fail with these bagels a few weeks ago, and managed to find time to re-try with some significant changes to the process and recipe. The last batch was good, but these ones are glorious! The best part, they can be done in a single day. Let’s jump into it. INGREDIENTS…
Sun-dried Tomato & Herb Sourdough Bagels – A Successful Fail
I am late to the game, but have somewhat jumped on the sourdough train. My mom got into it in this past year, and when she went to Germany for a month, I was given the task of keeping her starter alive. I figured, I might as well experiment and try making some bread. I…

Edibles and Visions Updates
I assure you this post is about gardening and not drugs and hallucinating, despite the name. The edibles I refer to are the plants that will provide us with delicious food. The visions are our beautiful flowers that will be a vision to behold once planted. Lets start with what we have outside in the…
The Great Scape Jelly
We love a savoury jelly on some soft cheese like brie or goat cheese. With all the garlic scapes, I had to find a jelly recipe. Surprise, surprise, I couldn’t find just one I liked, but a few, so I did a little mashup to come up with a savoury jelly that had all the…
And So It Begins 2023 Version
I am quite behind on sharing on the blog, but to be completely honest, there hasn’t been much to share. It has been a very busy beginning of the year with extra-curricular work, as well as regular work, and having a puppy. I actually backed away from some of the extra-curricular projects because I was…
