I want to cook more with local wholesome foods. But I need help!!!! This is an adventure at collaboration in the kitchen. Please email me recipes and photos of your great local culinary creations. Please subscribe and contribute.Of course we are approaching the winter and cooking in season will become harder and harder. Maybe for practical purposes I should have started in the spring!

My first post is really a re-post from my jewelry blog.
Once deemed too hard, time consuming, hot, stupid by this snotty teenager has now become a fun bonding experience with my wonderfully industrious, nutty modern day june cleaver mother.Lessons Learned....
1. Don't let mother get distracted from canning with the idea of artistic photos, she's easily distracted and you may not finish canning till late at night. 2. Thank GOD for large food processing plants. Canning is fun. But hard work. We worked all day into the night and had 36 jars between the two of us. Stuffing beans into a jar is time consuming.
Laboring over beans. 
FINISHED! From this...

on a side note (and almost unrelated to home-cooking), one can recycle pickle juice from their favorite pickles. just cut up a cucumber and stick it back into the empty jar of pickle juice! wait a few weeks and voila! you're not allowed to do this with store bought pickles though!
