Baking, gardening & preserving all of the great stuff we make by handLesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044252492784914295noreply@blogger.comBlogger43125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110692143547229451.post-46433718930088001982010-09-12T10:10:00.003-04:002010-09-12T11:36:01.084-04:00This is WHYFar better it is to dare mighty things, though checkered with failure, than to take ranks with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory or defeat. ~ Teddy Roosevelt.<br /><br />Gardening - growing your own vegetables and preserving them - is fraught with hard work during the season. After the growing season, in the winter, when the dead sunflowers stand for the birds as the only remnant in the snow of the summer garden and harvest, is time to revel in the previous years crop and plan for next year.<br /><br />I believe that all gardens should be called 'Victory Gardens' like they had in WWII because us home gardeners suffer defeats and have unwarranted bumper crops. <br /><br />With all of our planning and good intentions, the garden is still in the hands of fate and Mother Nature. Like Forest Gump says, "You never know what you're gonna get."<br /><br />Personally, we try to fit gardening into an already busy life with full-time jobs, a teenage daughter, renovating a house, and ailing parents. Finding time to spend planting, pulling weeds and preserving is our greatest challenge. Yet, this year we managed to fill our freezer for the coming winter, and (I'm gonna be honest here) sometimes I open the freezer door just to look and see what has been accomplished. There is great satisfaction to be had, a feeling of triumph, seeing all of those vegetables lined up on the shelves waiting for a warm winter's meal.<br /><br />My mother has been buying cherries and apples and pears from the Amish this summer and canning them. The other day, she took me down to her basement to show me all the jars lined up with the fruit in them. Only someone that preserves food would apprecitate what a beautiful sight that is, and how it fills you with a feeling of accomplishment, pride and security.<br /><br />I say security because having food on the shelf, no matter what your bank account says, gives you a feeling of security. I am not a doomsday person, but what if the Arabs got ticked off at our country over, let's say, someone publicly burning the Quran, and let's say they decided to hike the price of oil to $200.00 per barrel, and let's say the trucker's here in the US couldn't afford to deliver food to the supermarkets anymore, or that what was being delivered was quadruple the usual cost? I know that we live in a stable country, but stranger things have happened. All I'm saying is that if we have a problem in the food chain, I'm gonna be trading some frozen tomatoes and green beans for Mom's canned pears and the economy can work itself out. It's one less thing to worry about.<br /><br />Thank goodness we have grocery stores for the years when our best plans have not worked out. Last year, our tomatoes got blight and we lost almost the entire crop and I felt guilty paying huge prices for inferior store tomatoes. This year we had a bumper tomato crop & will probably enjoy them fresh-frozen until next summer. <br /><br />By the way - see the previous post about freezing tomatoes - you core them and freeze them whole and the skins slip right off of the frozen tomatoes when you hold them under warm running water. Frozen tomatoes are a wonderful, time-saving alternative to canned tomatoes.<br /><br />We lost our zucchini and yellow squash plants two years in a row. I know, you're astounded because they're one of the easiest plants to grow. Hey, if there's a way to screw things up . . . Last year, my husband decided to run the rototiller through the garden to cut down our weeding time and cut a swath too close to the plants, who - unbeknown to us - apparently have a shallow but expansive root system that was cut. Not weeding by hand cost us our zucchini. This year was a similar story: the zucchini and squash were in an isolated part of the garden where the snow peas stood in the spring, and my husband decided to hit the weeds in the empty part of the garden with RoundUP. The zucchini and squash apparently got some over-spray and all died. Next year, I will be weeding the squash and zucchini by hand so they are out of danger and away from my husband's good intentions. I have threatened to plant a chair in the garden to guard them.<br /><br />We will also be buying sweet corn from the supermarket this year. We knew we would be too busy and hard choices had to be made regarding the workload we took on. Corn is a lot of work, and we have a large Amish community nearby where we can buy fresh corn should we decide to freeze it. This year, we skipped it.<br /><br />We have never grown brussel sprouts and decided late in the season to plant some from seed. The plants came up, but we were too late to get any sprouts from them. It's good to try new things - even if they don't work out.<br /><br />And speaking of crops that don't work out, we planted onions two years in a row only to have them rot in the ground. I'm pretty sure that our garden is too low and wet for them - which is great for most of the other plants, but too wet for the onions. If we want to grow them in the future, we're gonna have to construct a raised bed.<br /><br />On the other hand, just for fun, I planted a variety of decorative gourds and pumpkins this year and the garden is loaded with fall fun. These are low maintenance and all you need is the seeds and plenty of room to let them ramble through the garden. I will use them for decoration and be able to give some to my friends at the office and we will be learning to make pumpkin pie from scratch (under my mother's supervision) and will probably post that exciting escapade online for you.<br /><br />We had so many green beans this year that we froze all we could possibly want and gave away all our family and friends wanted, and still have them hanging in the garden. Last year, I pulled the plants as soon as the harvest was over, but let them stand this year. I am going to use this years leftovers as seeds for next year. Possibly show you how to do this in another post.<br /><br />My husband grows hot peppers every other year to pickle and the plants are currently heavy with the yellow, green and red fruits, so he will soon be picking, cutting, pickling and canning his peppers for the next 2 years. We'll post this process as well if he's willing to share his secret recipe.<br /><br />Our garden would be a lot more predictable if we spent the time in it that we should, grooming and weeding and doting on our plants. Someday, I hope to be able to do that. The past couple of years we have gotten our seeds and plants in as we could and hoped for the best - spending very little actual time in the garden. We were embarrassed by the weeds at times and surprised at how well the plants did in spite of our neglect.<br /><br />Stay tuned & I'll try to post more the next few weeks as we continue the harvest.<br /><br />Meanwhile, she exits saying, "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" <br /><br />(I'm laughing all the way to the FULL freezer.)Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044252492784914295noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110692143547229451.post-9398400604774650472010-08-21T12:24:00.004-04:002010-08-26T10:12:26.134-04:00Stuffed Tomato DayFor the past three years since we've had a garden, at tomato harvest time, my husband has asked me to make stuffed tomatoes. Well, I've never eaten them and have certainly never made them so I really don't understand what everyone is raving about, but decided it might be time to give it a try. Besides, if I make the famous stuffed tomatoes maybe they won't force me to make stuffed peppers, which most men love, but I believe smell the same as the bottom of a ripe dumpster.<br /><br />Evelyn, the 89 year old matriarch of the clan, has loosely translated this recipe to me, so I'll loosely translate it to you:<br /><br />STUFFED TOMATOES<br /><br />First of all, decide how many stuffed tomatoes you want to cook and/or freeze and buy your ingredients accordingly. I'm shooting for 12 - 18:<br /><br /><br /><ul><li>2 bags Plain bread stuffing</li><li>Sausage (I used one Jimmy Dean regular)</li><li>Bacon (I'm using about 2/3 of a pound, which is what is leftover from our last BLT feast)</li><li>3 sweet onions, diced</li><li>Whole stalk of celery, diced</li><li>Natural Salt, to taste</li><li>Pepper, to taste</li><li>Tomatoes, washed, cored & gutted. Leave the meat on the outside of the tomato & reserve the guts minus the seeds.</li><li>Ripe tomatoes</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Mozerella</span> cheese for garnish on top</li></ul>Directions<br /><br /><br /><br /><ol><li>Dice onion and celery.</li><li><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Sautee</span> onion and celery. I did mine in some leftover bacon grease for extra flavor and fat. Right. I know. Set aside and divide into 2 bowls: one for sausage, one for bacon. I'm making a batch of each and we'll vote later on which tastes best.</li><li>Cook sausage and put in one bowl of onion & celery.</li><li>Cook bacon, chop fine, and put in the second bowl of onion and celery.</li><li>To each bowl add: 2 eggs, one package of bread cubes, salt, pepper and tomato guts.</li><li>Stir.</li><li>Stuff tomatoes.</li><li>Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.</li><li>The last five minutes of baking, top each tomato with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">mozerella</span> cheese & put it back in the oven until the tops are golden brown.</li><li>Serve with any yummy summer dish.</li></ol><br />Because I am making so much, I am going to freeze half of the batch (without cooking it) for later.<br /><em>* If you like green pepper, you could dice them and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">sautee</span> some with the onion and celery. I can't stand the smell of cooked green pepper, but for those of you who are fans of the green stinkers (I don't get it) I think it might be a great addition.</em><br /><em></em><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong>Update:</strong></span> <br />The tomatoes were very good, but I made <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">waaaaay</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">tooooo</span> many and ended up cooking about 7 tomatoes and freezing 20. One bag of cubed bread with one package of sausage would have been sufficient. I would still use all of the celery and onion as it is full of flavor and enhances the flavor.<br /><br />Also, we added fresh oregano and discussed what adding a little garlic to the onion and celery <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">saute</span> would do.<br /><br />These are fun because you can customize them with what you have in your refrigerator. But remember, unless you want an entire shelf in your freezer filled, please use only one bag of bread cubes.

And I'm sorry that I haven't recorded it for you, but I promise to do better as there are some exciting things coming. . .<br /><br />First up, we're moving to my new husband's family homestead, where we have kept a big garden for the past three years. Right now, we're in the process of renovating the old house and it's tomato harvest season, in addition to school starting on the 30th of August.<br /><br />The big crops from the garden this year have been red raspberries, green beans, snow peas, gourds and tomatoes. The hot pepper crop is ripening on the vine and will turn into pickled peppers in the next few weeks - but not without some work.<br /><br />The red raspberry bushes produce 2 crops per years and the vines are loaded for the 2nd picking sometime in September. We freeze them on cookie sheets straight out of the garden and then put them in Ziplock freezer bags after they are frozen so they aren't all squished (technical Pennsylvania term) together into a solid block later when you only want to use a few.<br /><br />We make raspberry jelly, wine and syrup and retain some for mixing with fresh and canned fruit throughout the winter.<br /><br />Our green beans are Blue Lake Bush Beans and are generally tough unless you cook the daylights (whatever that is) out of them. We use them for winter soup and stew where having daylights really isn't of any consequence, so they work great. To preserve them, we blanch them and vacuum seal them in Food Saver bags, and voila`, we're done.<br /><br />The Snow Peas are a cool weather crop, planted early in the spring and harvested in June. Again, they are easy to preserve by blanching them and vacuum sealing them for the freezer.<br /><br />The tomato crop is ripening and this week I tried freezing them for the first time, because I did not have the time or energy to can them. To freeze them, I simply washed & cored them, put them upside down on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and popped (technical term alert) them into the freezer. 24 hours later, I put the frozen red baseballs in Ziplock bags. I understand that the skins will come right off the frozen tomatoes if you run warm water over them when you are ready to use them. We'll see about that.<br /><br />Anyway, today, I am making stuffed tomatoes for the first time. It's a family favorite and David's 89 year old mother has loosely translated the recipe to me which I will share in the next posting. I will be using all of those extra tomatoes you have left after you have frozen what you need for the year and given away as many as you can to neighbors, friends and cousins.Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044252492784914295noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110692143547229451.post-72949725223769236782009-05-31T07:13:00.005-04:002009-05-31T09:13:32.624-04:00Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLGDj0Ae-cLPgV2aKddWxYlezjtqwAo7d651YaGwkwXwD7Grv-hO2Tses2nMjsAo9ip2KTQ7BapTgwOrs0FkijtdLpGu9PWoGlf5lCmbZnJVVhAhQln9Ar3Z9a26uNNkkXqG78ESb_u_0/s1600-h/Ladybug+Go-.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341944916474034690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 370px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLGDj0Ae-cLPgV2aKddWxYlezjtqwAo7d651YaGwkwXwD7Grv-hO2Tses2nMjsAo9ip2KTQ7BapTgwOrs0FkijtdLpGu9PWoGlf5lCmbZnJVVhAhQln9Ar3Z9a26uNNkkXqG78ESb_u_0/s400/Ladybug+Go-.jpg" border="0" /></a>Ladybug Go-To-Meeting.<br /><br />These yummy sugar cookies are topped with fondant which is applied to the cookie with piping gel, my all-purpose glue. <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMIEPXzaxdM2P7r6wMBmNkNg1NBCyoO3gQrw92aTX8VHQE8xOTmSAIrEp0NGCPk8B9R9O4FubtQS95I8CAIYHCwDRUjQ8ADceNQE49q2vs9HK2AxIy8b8TM0WDH786H9M5IjKE6HThME/s1600-h/Ladybug+Cookie.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341944914198196178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 306px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUMIEPXzaxdM2P7r6wMBmNkNg1NBCyoO3gQrw92aTX8VHQE8xOTmSAIrEp0NGCPk8B9R9O4FubtQS95I8CAIYHCwDRUjQ8ADceNQE49q2vs9HK2AxIy8b8TM0WDH786H9M5IjKE6HThME/s400/Ladybug+Cookie.jpg" border="0" /></a>Beth, the owner of Bella Catering, came over Friday night & we put these cookies together for her sister, Susie's, baby shower.

I have decided that cookies are for marketing purposes only. They are waaaaay too much work for what you get in return. I would really like to concentrate on upscale fondant cakes.<br /><br />Right.

There are 14 different designs available and they are all on large, postcard-sized cookies that measure about 3 1/2" by 5" and are 3/8" thick.<br /><br />Check out the Sweet Little Bunny cookies. These bunnies are also printed on wafer paper and attached to a sugar cookie. Which one is Peter Rabbit?

And he got it.<br /></div><br /><div>The bowl was three layers of vanilla cake with raspberry filling and the tank and toilet paper roll were Devil’s Food layered with vanilla butter cream. Everything was covered with fondant.<br /></div><br /><div>The poop was chocolate butter cream, the water in the bowl was tinted piping gel, the handle on the tank fondant, the toilet paper was preforated fondant and the lid was custom made out of wood. There was a detachable card on the inside of the lid that everyone signed for the birthday couple.<br /></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309810321525300338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 324px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-8HyM2Jq8x12TG8RTZ8HomPUsStDP34xuG9fo3EL4XyEFtjh4a8A2aqEdLTThJvnT1zWBOH29mtx56Q7-m_r5JB3OMvtsfYGfvy1dt0P7Col3LLkLj_CCyuVBPZaSYNvD4eh8mCc9or8/s400/Toilet+Cake+2.jpg" border="0" />Because we had never done this before, it was an engineering challenge. A sturdy platform (cake’s heavy!) had to be built for the tank that included a back so the cake tank wouldn’t lean halfway through the party and we had to find small hinges for the lid, which also needed a place to be attached so it could be opened and closed.<br /><div></div><br /><div>All of the wood was painted white to seal it and to make it washable. The platform was covered with blue and white checked washable vinyl wallpaper to imitate a typical bathroom floor.<br /></div><br /><div>Now that we’ve made this cake for Bob, we can make one for you. Contact us with your event: be it an anniversary, birthday, an open house, renovation celebration or any party for a plumber. </div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044252492784914295noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110692143547229451.post-75158999247602231842009-02-18T09:32:00.006-05:002009-03-13T11:51:02.341-04:00Steelers Win Superbowl<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Pbujpq-8yCqvgQWuG5nRhK0Atj8TwRlHsXnv7h67ZyoQqQDP3brsKGxLkrqr9vDe3uAfnJXNcEhifg_2GDHO8s4KNhE2zndtjzLqj698sN1ke4e1UJdFy5qVcR_KTs6QOQhi0mUvuI8/s1600-h/SteelerCookieB2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304146883395257970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 379px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Pbujpq-8yCqvgQWuG5nRhK0Atj8TwRlHsXnv7h67ZyoQqQDP3brsKGxLkrqr9vDe3uAfnJXNcEhifg_2GDHO8s4KNhE2zndtjzLqj698sN1ke4e1UJdFy5qVcR_KTs6QOQhi0mUvuI8/s400/SteelerCookieB2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div>There are certain aspects of football and the Superbowl that appeal to me.

No wonder I feel like I've done nothing else during the evenings and on weekends.<br /><br />The neighbor kids agreed to help me out with the extra broken and messed up cookies and they have been making out pretty well. So well that we finally had to establish a secret code to communicate: I hang a "Cookies!" sign in the dining room window to let them know when there are broken cookies and they stop by on weekends and after school to collect their paper lunch bags of goodies. <br /><br />I'm gonna settle in for a loooong winter's nap.Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03044252492784914295noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110692143547229451.post-41015916147604919752008-12-08T14:00:00.016-05:002009-03-13T11:52:10.608-04:00Christmas Light Cookie Ingredients<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMPFpck4WkzDULlOMpUi10lrSPy8l1zTp53xWCaWfSUaW4C_kHGXlMH9Szthq8s-mW9_2M7QT63ZT6p1jFdJr9Y09B5ISgxh_aDIbPPqXX5V5Ejm-QXbbXcWL82HEuVoO-yE72tPY8x4/s1600-h/ben%2527s-recipe-766264.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277500697781600082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMPFpck4WkzDULlOMpUi10lrSPy8l1zTp53xWCaWfSUaW4C_kHGXlMH9Szthq8s-mW9_2M7QT63ZT6p1jFdJr9Y09B5ISgxh_aDIbPPqXX5V5Ejm-QXbbXcWL82HEuVoO-yE72tPY8x4/s400/ben%2527s-recipe-766264.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We have had requests for the ingredient list for the Christmas Light Cookies. </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>While the exact recipe is Top Secret, I can tell what is NOT in them: additives, fillers and preservatives. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>All of our cookies are lovingly made fresh from scratch with the purest ingredients right here in Blair County--just for you.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>For example, we use real butter, not margarine, imitation butter, I Can't Believe this Crap's Not Butter or butter-flavored grease in a can.
