She Decided She Needed New Night Ware, and Made Ricotta Gnocci for a Dark Days Dinner February 22, 2010
Posted in Dark Days Challenge, Locavore, Sewing, shopping on February 23, 2010 | 3 Comments »
Today is part two of my Dark Days meal from last week. I decided, instead of making ravioli, I would make ricotta gnocci. I made gnocci with friends before, but it was potato gnocci, and when I saw mention of Riccotta gnocci on another blog, I thought that would be a prefect use for my [...]
Eeek! She mostly forgot the Dark Day’s challenge February 21, 2010

I realized I did not post a Dark Days meal for the past week. I have been eating things that would qualify, but never actually blogged about them…Soup, egg meals (of course), even a couple meals at friends homes, one was a curried dish with eggplant, squash and such, and one was a fabulous quiche. [...]
She Had Another Dark Days Dinner, Fancier than the One Last Night February 14, 2010

I have been meaning to make a seafood chowder, for a while, but never get around to it. Since I picked up shrimp from the Market yesterday, I figured now would be a good time. I sauteed some potatoes, then added shallots, and garlic. Next came the shrimp, cod and lobster, browned quickly, followed by [...]
She Made Butter and a Dark Days Dinner February 13, 2010

I finally made butter. I've been meaning to for a long time, but with my local dairy offering 1/2 gallon cream and finding that great butter mold, I just had to try my hand. I did what this other blogger did and her pics are better than mine, so go check it out, if you [...]
She Picked Rabbit Names and Ate a Dark Days Dinner February 5, 2010

The does all have names, nice, sweet names and not descriptive (of their worst trait) names. Clementine is the mom of all of the girls. Her oldest three are Molly (formerly Scrawny, who is really not so scrawny anymore), Calliope (Black Earlacing), Hyacinth (This is poor Big Boy, of the mistaken Gender. I decided on [...]
She Made Baked Beans for her Dark Days Dinner February 2, 2010
Posted in Dark Days Challenge, Locavore, Rabbits, recipe on February 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I've been wanting to make beans all winter, but have continued to resist because most recipes call for molasses and brown sugar, and with how we have avoided most sugars with Mini, I was conflicted about using them now, when there are plenty of other perfectly good things to eat. Then I stumbled across a [...]
She Put Up Some Sheetrock January 30, 2010

Tomorrow is the last day of the month. January is almost over. January, the month I was going to get so many "Winter Projects" accomplished. I'm sad to see it go. February gives me only 28 days, the stingy little month, so I need to kick into high gear if I'm going to have the [...]
She Made A Dark Days Dinner with A Partner and Planned the Rabbit Breeding for the Year January 28, 2009
Posted in Dark Days Challenge, Locavore, Rabbits on January 29, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Breeding time for Rabbits start in February. You can breed them all year, but a rest period is good, and fertility drops in the winter, so it's better to skip breeding November, December and January. My friend and I got together to plot the breeding for his and ours. Between the two of us we [...]
She Used 9 Eggs and made a great Dark Days Desert! January 24, 2010

When you have an excess of eggs, custard is a great thing. I found a recipe for Maple Custard, and decided to try it out. I doubled the batch, and used an extra egg as some of mine were not XLarge, as the recipe called for. I also only used milk, because I didn't have [...]
