Learning new skills in the kitchen


 I am trying to learn new skills this winter. I have always wanted to learn sourdough and after getting my starter going am now baking afew things. I love it with my coffee.  Would love to replace all my bread with homemade both sourdough and regular yeast bread.

Corn and Shuckin"

      My hubby and I grow a small amount of corn. I should say, try to grow corn. We plant it, it grows, and the raccoons get fed. So like years past, we bought our corn from a local farmer. We picked up eight dozen and started working them up. I had already picked more zucchini and was wanting the corn done. It was hot outside and I was ready for a shower.



I forgot to take pictures of it bagged up. This corn is aces high, it is sweet and very crunchy. I always bag 4dz. into whole ears and 4dz into split ears. I do that for when the grandkids are here, they like it that way.

Beets, Zucchini and Greenbeans Oh! My!

   Oh My! for sure. In the farm kitchen, the last few weeks have been very hectic. The first thing I tackled was the beets. My dear neighbor grows a long row of beets each year. When it's time, he calls me to pull my half of the row. Our families have been friends for years. I'm so thankful to God for such a family friend!

     The beets turned out great. I froze some to make into creamed beets and still have some in stroage to roast. Win Win !!!

     




     Zucchini, I still have to do more. I like to dehydrate into chips. I've done 1 1/2 gal. We all like them. I did some in shreds for baking bread and patties. The canner was busy with relish, as I like it better then cucumbers.









Everything turned out good! Love filling the pantry !!
