I made this with some Pixie Crisp Apples that we got over at Indian Creek Farm. We need to get more apples!
best viewed large! ;)
my mom went to the market and bought a lot of peas!!!! she's addicted to veggies. and i helped her take the peas out the pods.. hmmmm... actually, i didn't help her, it was me doing all the work! LOL at some point i thought about flickr (actually i think of flickr every 5 minutes) LOL again! LOL! it took me a while to manage to split the pods so the peas wouldn't break from the pod, but i finally had enough to take this shot! hope you like it!! ;)

Poppy's first Thanksgiving last year, 2014. I knew she'd like the holiday, she loves turkey and chicken. I don't think she realizes another Turkey Day is coming this week. We will set a place at the table for her.

Macro-Mondays-Candy
Candy is something I never buy, but for today I did. I like these they are non-GMO, Gluten Free and Dairy Free. A somewhat healthy candy? I can live with that :)
Since it's Father's Day I made Stu his favourite "Crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies." He prefers these for a treat! They are made totally from scratch and relatively healthy. I used organic ingredients. I was supposed to get 24 but ended up getting 26 cookies out of this batch. We will try some later once they cool down in the fridge.
These beans are from my harvest this week.
On my little farm I strive for genetic diversity in all my crops. I purposely collect, trade, and plant a wide variety of open pollinated, non-GMO seed of each vegetable and fruit to encourage cross pollination.
Each year I save and replant my own seed, which has become more and more adapted to my hot, dry locale, while adding in a healthy percentage of new seed.
This is known as landrace gardening, and if you google the term you can find out more about this ancient but little known practice. I believe it is the answer to world wide food security.
The continual inbreeding of so called 'heirlooms' (and in the case of things like potatoes, actual cloning) only weakens the ability of a crop to survive environmental change and disease.
The majority of commercial seed available to the home grower today is either proprietary hybrids that beholden the grower to continual purchasing from the seed company, or left over seed that was developed for mechanized agriculture where conformity and shelf longevity have been chosen over taste and beauty.
A garden--much like a society--is stronger with diversity. And, it's also more beautiful and interesting!!
We had 3 Matsu Apples left and thought I'd bake them. I put Coconut Whipped Cream on the top. It was yummy!

It's What's For Lunch
Got ambitious this morning and made some bread. I haven't tried it yet but it smells delish! I baked it in my new Emile Henry Bread/Potato Pot. It was an investment, but definitely a good investment since I love to bake!
Before we had the Printing Press we had Architecture to tell us the stories of our past but we also had cookery and recipes. Architecture informed us of great civic deeds and aspirations but recipes informed us of daily life and the close contact our forebears had with their food and its production. This forgotten cake, to me, gives wonderful insight into the rural population and shows how, prior to Enclosure and the Industrial Revolution, it survived the Hungry Gap and celebrated the return of the Spring. For the recipe and further discussion: simplyorganicrecipes.blogspot.fr/2017/02/a-twelfth-night-...
I have played with many pictures to find one suitable to identify our farm, This is my first choice so far, I will keep working with other possibilities, your input is very welcome.

ODC-Crunchy
I used this Peanut Butter to make these crunchy cookies. I really like this peanut butter, it's sugar-free. I think these are Stu's favourites!
This is an Organic corn. I add some salt in the water to boil the corn. I don't know why, but i have been asked to do that from long time ago. So its a habit now. i really like the taste, texture and satisfaction from eating a corn.
Just spread butter and little salt on the corn, then its ready to be eaten = )
if you would like to see my other corn photo Bean or Corn ?
I bought this from Jusco too = )

To ensure that, Father's Day is a good time to make sure Dad and everyone in your family are eating plenty of dark green, leafy vegetables.
The diets of animals similar to us makes it clear that we were designed to eat plenty of greens. The USDA has based its food recommendation of making vegetables the most important food on our plates. That's because studies have shown that those who eat plenty of green vegetables live longer and have less incidence of degenerative disease. Even so, nine out of ten people in the United States don’t eat enough of these health-giving foods.
Pines’ #greensuperfoods provide a convenient and economical way to increase the green in your diet. They are available in powders, tablets and capsules.'
Our website (wheatgrass.com) provides a store locator to find a store near you, Accept no substitutes. Poorly grown and poorly packaged products in plastic tubs and paper packets are devitalized. Further, Pines is the ONLY #vegan-friendly wholefood #wheatgrass and #alfalfa company in Kansas that is 100% organic and that has never produced pesticide-based feed for the mechanized meat industry. All our products are certified #organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, #Kosher and #raw.
As the original green #superfood company in the modern natural food marketplace, for more than 40 years, Pines has followed the standards established in 1937 for how to grow, harvest and package wheatgrass, alfalfa and other cereal grasses. All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle to protect against the deterioration that occurs with plastic and paper packaging. The special metal caps allow the consumer to tightly seal the bottles between uses to keep the greens fresh and vibrant.

We planted the garden two months ago today. It's been an extremely weedy year, but everything is still doing well with the exception of the kohlrabi & carrots (we only had a few come up). We've been able to harvest a lot of kale, sugar snap peas, and green onions so far. Soon to come- cucumbers, dill, sweet peppers, jalapeños, tomatoes, and a few kohlrabi & carrots.
The garden did much better in previous years, but the weather hasn't been very cooperative this year. Way too much rain (on a pretty consistent basis) and not as many hot days.
These are California Mandarins. They are said to be non-GMO Verified.. They have little stickers attached to some of them occasionally, indicating either who picked or processed them. This particular Cutie was picked by Natalie H. We also have a Thomas H, Britt N, , Leota, and Nathan stickers attached. Not many people notice the names on the stickers. Some don't care. We generally share them with people standing on the street holding signs. They are good source of Vitamin C and have many health benefits. Their peels are good for the grass.
One thing I do enjoy about winter is that I have more time to cook. I really love to cook and enjoy spending the winter days making big pots of stews, tender roasts, trays of lasagna and baking fresh sourdough bread. One of my favorite things about gardening is the fresh fruits and vegetables that it provides for the kitchen. Since I live in NE Ohio, the winter months prove to be a little more difficult when it comes to gardening and fresh vegetables harvests. Since I’m still in the learning stages of winter gardening, I supplement with things I canned and froze during the bountiful months of spring/summer/fall.

As with many Scottish recipes this one for a festive dessert is difficult to date. Here's mine: simplyorganicrecipes.blogspot.fr/2017/11/mini-caledonian-... A family's Caledonian Cream recipe was handed-down by word-of-mouth. Even the fact that one of the ingredients, Seville Orange Marmalade didn't become available until 1797 isn't decisive, as presumably that could have been substituted for some other ingredient in an earlier version! Caledonian cream has long been associated with Burns' Night suppers and indeed it is a beautifully light finish to what is a substantial meal of soup, haggis, neeps and potatoes. However, it is also, like syllabub, often on wedding breakfast menus and according to a book I have just been reading, a firm favourite of Queen Victoria's Christmas fare at Balmoral. For us it certainly provides some sunshine in a wet Normandie Winter.
On Tuesday, Mr Chiots and I tried one of each of those carrots that I harvested on Monday. It was very interesting to be able to try so many different kinds at once. The only problem was that it was difficult to tell which was which on some of them, some of my labels had disappeared from the garden, and we didn’t keep them all separate at harvest. So I was going on shape and size based on the description on the seed packets. *note to self* I must find a better labeling pen!

Energy Vs Pollution: How to clean the air?
By Dr Jagdish P N Giri (*)
The new growth wave on emerging trends in corporate social responsibility aims at evaluating impacts the globalisation might have on natural environment and global environmental and energy policy approaches.
An ongoing debate on inter-relationships among trade/investment, energy and environment, its footprints on environment and climate and quality of energy business in terms of natural environments in countries exporting environmental goods and energy services in the context of producers and consumers of a variety of energy resources viz carbon, hydrogen and renewable across the globe, including developing and transition economies, has already taken a significant shape.
Energy use and supply is of fundamental importance to society and, with the possible exception of agriculture and forestry, has made the greatest impact on the environment of any human activity a result of large-scale and pervasive nature of energy related activities. Although energy and environment concerns were originally local in character for example, problems associated with extraction, transport or noxious emissions they have now widened to cover regional and global issues such as acid rain, trans boundary impacts of energy use and the greenhouse effect.
Such problems have now become major political issues and the subject of international debate and regulation. It is for this reason that there is a need for the emergence of new growth wave on corporate social responsibility dedicated to energy and environmental issues on sustainable development and millennium development goals.
Globalisation, energy and environment is an inter-disciplinary corporate social responsibility in terms of evolving dimensions of society and business strategies aimed at natural scientists, technologists, economists and the international social science and policy communities covering the direct and indirect environmental impacts of energy acquisition, transport, production and use.
A particular objective of the debate is to cover social, economic and political dimensions of such issues at local, regional and international level. The relatively recent awareness about environmental concerns have convinced the policy makers to extend their attention beyond the black-box, least-cost models and consider other aspects of their policy decisions. As such, the policy makers have now moved ahead of analysis in taking a more comprehensive approach to energy strategy.
Consequently, the debate forum is inviting stakeholders from all countries with contributions that would help Aaditya Energy Foundation, based in Chennai to lead a global movement for sustainable energy, environment and economy in 21st century to outline more clearly the major debate around taming versus uncritically supporting globalisation and global energy/ environmental policy.
The debate aims to engage experts from exporting developing and transition economies as well as specialists from industrialised countries to share their experience on various aspects of energy resource exploitation, its environmental consequences, on consumption patterns, and markets, with corporate environmental and social responsibilities. In the near term energy technology perspective defined by International Energy Agency seems to provide a viable direction to energy business at large.
ENERGY TECHNOLOGY PERSPECTIVE
Secure, reliable and affordable energy supplies are fundamental to economic stability and development of the nation. Threat of disruptive climate change, erosion of energy security and growing energy needs of emerging economies of Asia like India and China, all pose major challenges for energy decision makers, as well as energy producers, traders and consumers.
That can only be met through innovation, adoption of new cost-effective technologies, and a better use of existing energy efficient technologies. Energy technology perspectives' present status and prospects for key energy technologies and assesses their potential; to make a difference in mid century term, in the following aspects:
• How much can technology contribute to securing adequate and affordable energy supplies and lower CO2 emissions? What energy technologies hold the most promise? How long will it take?
• At their 2005 summit, G-8 leaders confronted these questions and decided to act with resolve and urgency. They called upon the International Energy Agency to provide advice on scenarios and strategies for a clean and secure energy future. Energy technology perspectives are a response for G 8 request.
• Numerous innovative works demonstrates how energy technologies can make a difference in a series of global scenarios to 2050. It reviews in detail the status and prospects of key energy technologies in electricity generation, buildings, industry and transport. It assesses ways the world can enhance energy security and contain growth in CO2 emissions by using a portfolio of current and emerging technologies. Major strategic elements of a successful portfolio are energy efficiency, CO2 capture and storage, renewable energy resources and nuclear power.
• While technology does hold great promise for the future, we must act now if we are to unlock the potential of current and emerging technologies and reduce the impact of fossil; fuel dependence on energy security and the environment. The key challenge in global energy policy is to create an energy system that supports continuing economic development and considerably reduces the risks of climate change. Energy efficiency is currently the most affordable tool to mitigate climate change.
• The fourth assessment report of the IPCC documents many of the large number of energy efficiency policies and measures that have already been implemented worldwide on the supply and demand side.
The accelerated technology scenarios (ACTs ) that form the backbone of energy technology perspectives demonstrate that by employing technologies that already exist or are under development, the world could be brought onto a much more sustainable energy path.
The scenarios show how energy related CO2 emissions can be returned to their current levels by 2050 and the growth of oil demand can be moderated. It also shows that by 2050, energy efficiency measures can reduce electricity demand by a third below the baseline levels. Savings from liquid fuels would equal more than half of today's global oil consumption, after setting about 56% of growth in oil demand foreseen in the baseline scenario. The substantial changes demonstrated in the accelerated technology (ACT) scenarios are grouped in:
• Strong energy efficiency gains in the transport, industry, commercial and domestic sectors,
• Electricity supply becoming significantly decarbonised as the power generation mix shifts towards nuclear power, renewables, natural gas and coal with CO2 capture and storage,
• Increased use of biofuels for road transport.

My tomato harvests are kicking into high gear. Last time I harvested I got over 28 pounds. Looks like I'll be spending all my free time in the kitchen canning. I'm super excited about tomato soup (I grew celery just for this soup).
I've labeled a few of them, I'm growing over 25 different varieties of tomatoes this year. This photos represents maybe 1/3 of them.
My tomato soup recipe is on my blog: chiotsrun.com/2009/08/22/tomato-soup/
Tomatoes come in all shapes and sizes. This tomato was a surprise when I picked it yesterday. It's a Zapotec Pleated Tomato. It's actually a pretty big tomato weighing in at 14 oz.

I finally cracked open my first farmhouse cheddar that I made 3 months ago (used the recipe from Home Cheese Making: Recipes for 75 Delicious Cheeses). I used beeswax from our hive to wax it and raw milk from the local farm for the cheese. I don't have a cheese press so I used a bowl on top of a plate and workout weights (hence the bowl shaped cheese). It's quite sharp and dry, which I really like. Next time I'm going to try to cut the curds a differently so the cheese is a little softer, although I like my cheese sharp and dry so maybe not. The wax was too thin, but I didn't have enough to make it thicker, I had to pour it over the cheese because I didn't have enough to dip. Hopefully next year I will.
