Ben Picks Ten: Great Food Gifts November 12, 2008 - (USA)
Posted by ourfriendben in gardening, homesteading, recipes, wit and wisdom. Tags: Ben Picks Ten, great food gifts, one-Ben awardstrackback Our friend Ben loves food. And I love to get food as a gift. Hawk’s Haven, the cottage home I share with Silence Dogood in the precise middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, is not exactly a palace or, God forbid, a McMansion. Being enthusiastic collectors, we’ve filled about every square inch with stuff. We don’t need gifts that will clutter our living space

A Time for Humility - (USA)
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. Eccl. 3:1 (NKJV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do you ever feel like you are “good.” Or wonderful? Or special? Like you do so many things (especially on a volunteer basis) for so many people and organizations that no one could keep up with you if they tried? Do you ever pat yourself on the back for all the things you accomplish that you know ten five other people co

Holiday Gifts: 10 Frugal and Homemade Gift Ideas - (USA)
I must admit to being a pinch of Grinch with a dash of Scrooge when it comes to holiday gifts. I’m not a huge fan of spending big bucks on Christmas presents or dishing out dollars on holiday decorations. I just don’t think busting the bank for one day makes much financial sense, especially in this economy. I do love celebrating the holidays simply though. There’s no better gift to give a friend, loved one, or neighbor than something creative, homemade, or thoughtful. To help celebrate the ho

Frugal Friday: Buy Spices in Bulk - (USA)
I love to cook. Since I could read, cooking has been one of my favorite pasttimes and one of my preferred methods of relaxation. If you spend anytime cooking, you know that quality ingredients can be pretty expensive, even with a coupon. Over the years, I've learned a lot about preparing gourmet food for a mere fraction of the price it would cost at a restaurant. One of the ways that I do this is to purchase my spices in bulk. Whether from Costco, a health-foods coop, or simply Walmart,

Above is the garden leading to our closed gate. The star jasmine and agapanthus are really putting on a fine show after all the rain we've had lately.The gate was closed early Friday afternoon and is still closed now. We were shut off from the outside world, both physically and emotionally, all weekend and had all that delicious time to do our chores, relax and appreciate this life we live. Oh, there was one little visitor, L from next door, our 13 year old neighbour, came over to buy a dozen

Breadcrumb Crusted Zucchini with Rainbow Chard - (USA)
I’m finally getting some color this summer. Each week, my CSA share has given me bunches and bunches of greens: lettuces, bok choy, Russian kale, snap peas, tat soy, fresh herbs and the occasional candy colored radish or berry-red beet. I was thinking I might turn into the Green Giant consuming it all. But this weekend, I took a retreat to North Fork to visit my friends at Garden of Eve ( again ), and teach a homemade vegetable dumpling-making class. It was a lovely two hours and with ten pupi

Sum Sum Summertime - (USA)
I took a segway and spent some time yesterday harvesting apricots from our tree out back. The yield was plentiful and I feel like I haven't even made a dent. These are really flavorful Blenheim apricots, an I managed to pick three bushels full, all within reach, before the birds and squirrels get to the bounty or they fall to the ground. . We don't use spray, so these are organic, and oh so yummy! All we do is prune every year and the harvest is always worth the wait. This old tree came wit

Jelly on the Fast-Track - (USA)
Black Currant Jelly with Biscuits I grew up watching my Grammy slave over a steaming hot stove each summer & fall, 'putting up' tomato sauce, pickles, pickled beets, jelly...pretty much anything that came out of the garden. I remember running in to get a drink or ask her something, in the middle of some deeply important activity like kick ball (I was really good at that) or playing 'War', or swinging on the swingset, and she'd be taking jars out of the pot, or stirring the blackberries I'

rites of passages for boys where they became men over their fresh kill. These days, that rarely happens in a suburban cul-de-sac, but you do have the opportunity to grant your son responsibility in front of a family gathering. When you decide the time is right for your son to carve the turkey – and that may come because of age, or how he acts at the table or whether he fully understands the holiday – play up the ceremony. Brag on him, tell his grandma and cousins why he’s earned this. And then

Preserving Summer’s Very Best - (USA)
Every July, I go to the farmer’s market to buy enough summer berries to make my famous mixed berry preserves. I was given a recipe by Mr. CG’s grandmother years ago for refrigerator preserves. I tweaked her recipe by adding my own special ingredient, and then learned how to can it four years ago. Now we enjoy mixed berry summer preserves even on the coldest wintery day. I promise you, when you make these at home, these will be the best summer berry preserves you have ever tasted. EVER.

100 Things I'm Thankful For, I listed a diverse range of things I am thankful for right now in my life. From the kitchen...my fridge has been taken over by a 30-pound Turkey and a 9-pound ham. Yum. I am wearing...jeans, my favorite hoody, socks, shoes and a warm blanket. I am creating...space in our home to accommodate Aspen's train table she's getting for Christmas, and a new furniture arrangement so we can place our Christmas tree by our big windows. I am going...nowhere today, I hope.

Since then I’ve been looking forward to making a start on the Christmas Hamper for my in laws and also our home. As of last wee

The No Plastic Holiday Challenge - (USA)
Plastic is all around us. From our kids’ toys to their sippy cups, from grocery bags to Tupperware bowls, from furniture to toothbrushes. That’s not even including all of the plastic involved in packaging - from food to appliances to toys to clothing. Plastic is everywhere and while it’s not good for our health, it may be even worse for our environment, so this holiday season I am challenging all of you to become more aware of your plastic consumption and make conscious choices to avoid plastic

Paola Lewis - The Rusty Rooster - (USA)
Motherhood, it changes you. While there’s a whole list that involves sagging and wrinkled, exhausted and emotional that can be wrapped in there, for many women becoming a Mom takes life to a whole other level. It brings out our genuine loves, forces them into places creatively and personally that reveal talents and ingenuity unrealized until that point. It inspires. Moms see a need and create the solution. So, with this monthly series we celebrate the genius of Comox Valley women who t

Have a Handmade Holiday - (USA)
We decided not to buy anyone gifts this year — everyone will receive handmade items or canned/dried goods from our garden. This meant that I would be working overtime on dishcloths, homemade soap, and little rounds of fabric (with lace edging) to top canned goods like shower caps. Is it worth it? Absolutely. First up: Basketweave Dishcloth This sweet and easy to knit design was an adaptation of a scarf pattern that I came across and declared perfect for a dishcloth. You know how I lov

Our tomato plants are just about coming to an end in our garden. The heat is so bad that the plants are starting to dry out and burn up, don't you just love the Texas Heat UGH!! So far we have gotten a great crop of tomatoes this year and they are still producing like crazy. We have used most to make homemade salsa and have been eating are way through the rest but, there is no way we can ripen and eat all of them.
