The big news around here is that our third son was born on March 7th, in the wee hours of the morning. I realize I hadn’t shared on this blog that we were expecting and I’m not really sure why. I think as a male blogger I don’t always share about myself as much as […]
Before we start, what do you call it, ketchup or catsup? Making ketchup has been at the back of my mind for quite a while now. I had read about a girl in our community who makes her own and I was like I can do that! So now I did. Turns out it’s […]
Lately I’ve been playing around with sourdough… everything. In fact as I’m writing this I’m finishing up a sourdough sweet pumpkin bread, using winter squash that was looking a bit sad in the basement. The newest and best addition to our sourdough repertoire has been sourdough pancakes. They’re so good that we don’t make regular […]
I’ve been enjoying my hot fermented carrots for a couple weeks now and will soon be making another batch.

It’s about that time of year when I start planting seedlings. But those seedlings won’t give me anything edible for a few months.
