Food and Books: February 2009

http://katesfoodandbooks.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Friday, February 20, 2009. Someone gave me the Koreana. Kimchi is basically a fermented food, mostly cabbage and very spicy, with a number of additional ingredients. A lot of the types are all-vegetable but a number of them include fish. It is available in most grocery stores but I would like to investigate where there might be unusual types available locally, either in Asian groceries or from stores in the Seattle International District.

Food and Books: August 2009

http://katesfoodandbooks.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 18, 2009. It's October and it's time to publish the blog entries that I've written and saved and thought about but haven't posted. I still need to take a picture for this one. We had a family reunion this past week (this was mid-August in Minnesota) and each day we stopped for at least one tea break. It brought up memories and discussions of the role of tea in our family and I've decided to try to put as much as I can remember down here in this post. 1/4 cup raw sugar.

Food and Books: January 2009

http://katesfoodandbooks.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 25, 2009. Quinoa in the PNW? Anyone who knows me knows that I'm interested in Western Hemisphere food plants. I've worked in horticulture for a significant part of my adult life before going back to school to become a librarian. My interest in food plants has never left me and I approach part of my garden space as a place to test new plant ideas out. I did find a website, Quinoa Corporation. With pictures of quinoa growing in South America. Thursday, January 8, 2009. I have received an em...

Food and Books: Quinoa Planted Again

http://katesfoodandbooks.blogspot.com/2009/07/quinoa-planted-again.html

Wednesday, July 8, 2009. Five varieties were planted on June 7, 2009. These were planted a single time, no replication of planting, in short (two foot) rows in a raised garden bed. The bed is surrounded by a plastic chicken fence which probably shades the bed slightly. I'll remove the fencing over the top eventually but am being especially careful about keeping chickens out as they could decimate the whole planting in a very short time. This year I had excellent germination (it was a dry June). Plant...

Food and Books: March 2010

http://katesfoodandbooks.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 13, 2010. A friend recently returned from a trip to the Honduras and brought me great photos of the cacao plant and fruit. We've traveled together in the past and she knows what interests me (she brought me chiltepin peppers from NW Mexico). What she didn't remember was that we had seen cacao pods in Guatemala near Coban, but that's okay, these pictures are fantastic. From my bookshelves, I have the following books on cacao:.

Food and Books: January 2011

http://katesfoodandbooks.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Saturday, January 22, 2011. The Final Year of Testing Quinoa. I planted quinoa again in 2010. This will be an informal report because I gave up on taking data on it this year. The crop was a failure. I've decided that it is not the crop to try to grow in Olympia and it's time to think in terms of our climate. If I'm still gardening in Olympia this summer, it will be the year of brassicas, greens, and onions. I will pick my berries in the wild. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
