Tuesday is Happening!: Rock Bottom
We started out as Rock Bottom Homestead (Rock Bottom Farm was not here then, though they seem lovely and do pigs, etc., and we’ve backed away from using our homestead name for business because they are doing well with it…) and were excited to recuperate an old mostly-volunteer orchard. Our property told us it wantedContinue reading “Tuesday is Happening!: Rock Bottom”

Duendesday: Baker in Progress…
{life with a curious and crazy 13 yr old} D has been helping out in the kitchen, getting her hands floury, learning some fun new skills. And the baker has been navigating the humidity levels and weather changes, trying out new breads and finessing previous projects (developing a recipe for both naturally-leavened/fully-fermented and large-scale isContinue reading “Duendesday: Baker in Progress…”

So, in true RockContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Drunken Noodle”
Special Edition: Happenings and what not…
Our week has been a little topsy-turvy and it’s been hard to get the blog submissions on the ‘proper days’, but I don’t want to deprive you of all the news. We had a big corporate order of bagels which went swimmingly and today we have a few extra ‘surprise’ bagels, mmmmm, sourdough bagels. IContinue reading “Special Edition: Happenings and what not…”
Recipe Thursday: Pozole con Pollo
I think the last recipe was a Summer stew of some sort, for which I apologize (ish). Both because summer and stew don’t seem like good friends (a point we would obviously argue), and because, well, I already did that — but in my defense, you don’t really want to hear about the millions ofContinue reading “Recipe Thursday: Pozole con Pollo”
