Noel has mustard greens growing like weeds in the garden. He planted the mustard along with various lettuces at the edges of the pea patch and also interspersed them with the garlic plants. Some of what doesn’t get eaten will go to flower to attract pollinators and generate more seeds for future crops. Honey bees love the mustard flowers, and so do a wide variety of other pollinators. Any mustard plant that gets in the way of our pea and garlic crops will...

Spring is here and so are the sprouting onions. It’s time to clean out the larder or keep a close eye on it.

I had just over 3 pounds of reds left which was just about the perfect amount for a batch of onion...

So here’s my version that we liked a whole lot better. Ingredients: 15 oz canned pink salmon, drained, skin and bones removed,...

Potato Rösti was on the dinner table last night. We had this dish for the first time almost 30 years ago right after we moved to Wisconsin. Noel’s Swiss boss took us to the New Glarus Hotel Restaurant in the village of New Glarus, WI – Wisconsin’s Little Switzerland. There are many versions of rösti but this one is my adaptation of a recipe given to us by our dear friends, Michael and Linda. Recipe: 2 lbs. potatoes (I used Colorado Rose potatoes from the garden) 1...
