WoodenKnife Indian Fry Bread Mix
On a trip to the Badlands of South Dakota we stopped at Cedar Pass Lodge in the Badlands National Park where we had yummy Indian Fry Bread. It was so good that I purchased a box of WoodenKnife Indian Fry Bread Mix to try and make it at home. The mix had a long shelf [...]
Trail Bologna and Cheese
When I was younger, my family would often travel a couple of hours to spend the day and shop in Ohio’s Amish Country. For lunch, we usually ate trail bologna and cheese on crackers that we would purchase from a local grocery store. Eventually, trail bologna became available in sandwich size slices instead of just [...]
Do You Have Baker’s Ammonia?
Growing up, my mom bought Baker’s Ammonia every year before her holiday baking season began from our local pharmacy. When I was an adult, that pharmacy went out of business, but we found it at other pharmacies. Heck, we even found it at a large discount retail chain pharmacy. It did become much harder to [...]
Lehman’s Anniversary Cookbook
I could not wait to share what a terrific collection of recipes I found when I purchased 55 Years and Still Cookin’: Lehman’s Anniversary Cookbook on sale. The cookbook is from one of my favorite stores, Lehman’s in Kidron, Ohio. Kidron is located in Ohio’s Amish Country, an area known to have great food. This [...]
Wild Mayhaw Jelly
On my last trip to the orchard, I picked up a small jar of a jelly I had never heard of before, Wild Mayhaw. It is a pretty red jelly. After some research, I found Wild Mayhaw to be a deep southern item. It is related to or a type of Hawthorne (hence the name). [...]
Bow Bread Knife: How Did I Ever Live Without You?
I am still working on my bread baking skills. In the meantime, whenever I can swing it, I buy bread from a local bakery. We have several local places that sell the really good Artisan breads. I love fresh bread. It stays fresher if I slice it as we use it than when the bakery [...]
Diner, Drive-Ins and Dives: The Book
I love the Food Network program Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I love the concept, the host, and the execution. Most of all though, I love the places they feature. However, I was not sure I would even like a book about the television show. For me, much of the appeal of the show is the [...]
West Virginia’s Pepperoni Rolls
Most of my life, I had no idea that pepperoni rolls were just a West Virginia item. I assumed they were everywhere. Why would they be? They are delicious! In case you are not familiar with them, they are pepperoni (and often cheese) baked inside of a soft yeast bread dough. They do not require [...]
Pink Pearls
How cool are these apples? No, there has not been any alterations to the picture. They really are pink inside. I saw them at a local grocery store that emphasizes natural and organic products. I just had to buy some after getting to taste them in the store, and my family really liked them. However, [...]
Hippos Are Edible
I almost did not share this discovery. Edible hippos are hard to find in the United States. I was not sure I wanted to compromise an already endangered supply. Yes, I know that the hippos found in the zoo and the jungle are not edible (to the best of my knowledge), the hippos found in [...]
