Homemade Yogurt and Croutons. Last week I made some Homemade Yogurt. Using a simple and easy recipe. Unfortunately for me, it turned out pretty runny, and although it was tasty, I would rather have a thicker consistency. I've played around a bit after a little research and have come up with a slightly different recipe that turns out quite a bit thicker than the last. In addition, a friend of mine posed the question to me, "Why do you boil the milk? About 5 Tbsp dry milk. 1/3 cup plain yogurt. Is affected...

T's World: I'm back, at least temporarily.
http://kooglerpierce.blogspot.com/2009/06/im-back-at-least-temporarily.html
I'm back, at least temporarily. Howdy folks. I know it's been awhile. More than two months I think! My odd jobs business has picked up significantly and keeping me very busy, which is great, but it leaves little time for this. I have been toying with the idea of deleting this blog, but I think at least as a reference for myself for all the cooking we've done it's worth keeping. Anyways, that's all for now. I hope all my faithful readers are doing well. Grill pizza is da bomb. Yep, DA BOMB!

I'm back after my hiatus. All three of my ladies have had their babies and all are doing well! A couple weeks ago I joined forced with Ryan from the Dewey St. Workshop. For a basement demolition project. I have done a significant amount of yard work and other smaller fix-it jobs for the owner of the home, so I knew this would be an interesting matter. She has been working on a complete remodel (inside and out! Stairwell after panelling removed. Ryan taking out parts of the bookshelf area. This is the ...

Des Moines Civic Center - Frost/Nixon. I made my way to Des Moines for stagehand work at the Civic Center. It was the first stop on the first-ever tour for the Broadway show Frost/Nixon. I have probably seen more shows in this auditorium than I have in Hancher. LesMiserables, Phantom of the Opera, Cats.just to name the ones that jump to mind. The Des Moines Civic Center will always hold a special place in my heart. Which was excellent. Thanks Jill for the floor, shower and coffee! Just what I need is one...

T's World: Hand-picked Blueberries
http://kooglerpierce.blogspot.com/2009/07/hand-picked-blueberries.html
Friday I trekked with a friend down to the old location of Bock's Berry Farm. I picked nine pounds of tasty blueberries. My friend remarked that it might be a good idea for them to weigh the customers before and after they leave and collect for the other pound or two of berries that may have found their way into the belly instead of the bucket. I'm gonna try to get back down there this week. The freezer isn't quite full enough. ;p. That is so true on the U-Pick berries. I love it! 13 July, 2009 23:20.

Bakehouse" Bread with Romertopf Clay Bakers. Yesterday I was working helping a woman clean and organize her kitchen. We ended up getting rid of a lot of items - some to consign, some that just got thrown away, and some that were to get stored in the garage. A couple items she offered to give to me - one of them a Romertopf. And I thought I was anal about saving instructions and warranty information! She recommended the chicken recipe that was on the instructions, but the recipe for bread caught my eye.

A blog to share great recipes for local food. Thursday, July 17, 2008. If anyone goes to the farmer's markets in Alton, Jerseyville, or Brighton, you have probably seen the Krueger's Orchard tent. Currently they are selling the most delectable pie cherries I have ever seen (yes, so this is the first year I have seen a fresh pie cherry, so what? Anyway, if you decide to take on the effort and bake your own fresh cherry pie, here is what to do! Adapted from Chez Panisse Fruit, by Alice Waters. 3 After 10 m...

A blog to share great recipes for local food. Sunday, October 12, 2008. Ratatouille in the Crock Pot. So many eggplant and zucchini! I have never had ratatouille before, and it was a deliciously pleasant surprise. Gluten and meat free, would be excellent served with pasta, as a pizza topping or in a lasagna. Not to mention how easy it is - just slice and dice and layer in the crock pot, leave it for the day and then eat! Recipe from Recipe Zaar. 2 large onions, cut in half and sliced. 1 t dried oregano.
