Sometimes this blog seems so impersonal because all we ever write about is food we eat at other places. We never actually talk about foot we make ourselves. This needs to change. After we get back from our trip to the Pacific Northwest (currently on the plane there!) we will start working on writing about our own dishes and meals. We have no intention of turning into a recipe blog, but rather writing about dishes that we make and what we like and don't like about cooking and food.
We tend to try to do more dishes from scratch in a farm to table fashion, locally sourcing our veggies from either our garden (very local) or from our crop share (Jack’s Farms Pay-as-you-go crop share-link at the bottom of the page). We try to locally source the meat as best we can and have some favorites. We try to be creative with new things but have some standard dishes that we do on a consistent basis. Ethnic dishes from both our backgrounds tend to be the most interesting to make, mainly because we are both the most critical of these.
I (Cassie) have also taken up canning and pickling with Rob helping with this occasionally. I love doing it as much of it comes from our garden or our crop share and is completely fresh. And its nice to be able to make your own tomato sauce, jellies, peppers, and pickles that will last a whole year.
So more on these things in the future. Will likely bunch things together in categories. Excited to try something new!
