01/27/12 22:19
As I look in my pantry, I see all the signs of summer starting back. I have canned peaches, dill pickles, and an abundance of jam. It seems like a cruel trick that to preserve all that deliciousness at home, I have to fill my barely air conditioned house...

Ok folks, I'm about 3 weeks into my unprocessed challenge. Check out the start of the challenge here and here. I did almost break down and buy one of my favorite go-to processed foods on Monday. I was planning to make eggplant parm and I cut into my eggplant...

In my last post, I talked about my 2012 UN-resolution to un-process my life and food. For the first 90 days, I'm trying to unprocess by using up and then not replacing processed foods. My challenge has lead me to ask myself exactly what I consider processed...

In my last post, I wrote about the Dark Days Challenge. In the DDC (as the cool kids call it), we prepare at least one meal per week following SOLE guidelines: sustainable, organic, local, ethical. I tend to cook mostly from at least three of the four points...

By The Improbable Farmer
12/17/11 05:18
I grew up with a fake Christmas tree. I even remember the first time I saw a real Christmas tree and thought it was the oddest sight ever. I remember being overwhelmingly excited when I got to help my mom match the branches. For those of you that don't...

The Midwest, meat-eating husband and I took a little break from planning our Meatless Mondays. Ok... I took a break from planning it. That's not to say that we didn't usually have one or more meatless meals throughout the week. But sometime's the formality...

Trickle down pantry economics
By The Improbable Farmer
11/01/11 23:23
Cleaning my house does not come naturally to me. I don't notice the dust bunnies and fur balls hovering underneath the couch. My kitchen sink is always at least half filled with dishes. My windows are never without noseprints from my beagles and cat peering...

Everyone remember my Midwestern, meat-eating husband? Swing back and visit his recipe for Mac'N'Cheese'N'Spam or how about my recreation for him of the Olive Burger (it's a Michigan thing). Here he is with his "ho" last summer. Anyhow, when he moved to...

Peanut Butter Disaster
By The Improbable Farmer
05/20/11 22:18
When I organized my kitchen and garage, I designed most of it in a way I understood. It's an odd reflection on the state of organized chaos running through my mind. However, in order to allow my husband to forage for his own food, I designated a snack shelf...

Yep.. I created this. Now I understand where the terror in this movie came from. I didn't want to admit this one but you can all thank the Midwestern, meat-eating husband for this again. Can you identify the mystery substance in this pot? And here's the...

By The Improbable Farmer
05/04/11 20:47
I was so shocked the mayo turned out that this is the only picture I got! On Earth Day, I had a small ranting session about reducing your consumption before reusing or recycling. Then last week I discussed the issue common to chicken owners: what to do...

Chicken Bribery - aka Chickens 201
By The Improbable Farmer
04/29/11 19:32
A few days ago I wrote about how to raise baby chicks and keep them alive... even if my first attempt only kept my chicks alive long enough to feed the neighborhood cats. Here's where I went from that disaster. I decided that since it was August, I didn't...

By The Improbable Farmer
04/28/11 23:34
I never learned to sew. The whole concept is fascinating and mysterious to me. I don't know how to sew on a button or how to properly fix a hole or a hem. My current previous method for fixing minor clothing issues is my red swingline stapler. Seriously......
