13 Ways to Cook Without an Oven
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Covers obvious, less obvious and not obvious ways to cook without an oven. Pretty funny, I know one of the not obvious ways – car engine – since we used that method in the Army a lot of the time.
Artisan Breads in 5 Minutes a Day
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010from kk_ct
Why Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day? Literally five minutes of effort. Throw the ingredients together, mix, pop the dough into a bucket and then into the fridge. After a couple hours of rising, I have enough for three big loaves. The dough keeps very well in the refrigerator for a couple weeks (and tastes noticeably better the longer it’s been sitting, though mine rarely makes it that long). When I want fresh bread I pull out a bit of dough, get the oven heated up and bake away. There are plenty of no-knead recipes about, but Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois perfected a process that works for me.

Friday, January 23rd, 2009What do I read?
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009I often get asked what type of things do I read. What do I read as far as articles for work, articles for our property, ideas for the home and land, gardening, cooking and etc.
It dawned on me that since I use Google Reader I can actually share them with anyone who’s interested.
So now you can click here: Articles Rick Shared and see what I’ve tagged for future reading or to save.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008As a follow up to other food related posts, check out this video from Ann Cooper. She’s bang on the money as to our kids diets, who controls the food supply and who allows it to be contaminated and destroyed. All the more reason for a move to controlling your own food. Grow it yourself!
