Okay, this is not food allergy related, but since MaryKate and I are both knitters, some of our local readers are knitters, and MaryKate is interested in architecture, I give you this article: See an Entire Northern Ireland Village Knitted Out of Wool.
My friend Kristin A just went to Arizona and when she returned, she told me about a mesquite flour she had heard about at a museum which is part of the legume family. I’m always interested in new ingredients and flours so I did my Google-fu and found this article about it. I may try it.
AND… we’re back. Hope you all had a good June — not sure what happened, given that it flew by faster than time should ever go.
So, what have we been reading? I, MaryKate, have been checking out more food allergy bloggers like “Nope, Can’t Eat That Either” (a title I absolutely love). I’m also reading Civil Eats, for people who are into food and the politics and production of food (start with that link about the Amazon purchase of Whole Foods). More recipes coming from us starting next week.
The garden is in and we’ll see what I (Denise) get. We’ve had storms, I’ve had a lot of vole damage, and I’m being stalked by deer and rabbits. But while I wait for the summer and fall harvests, the garlic I put in last year have produced a ton of garlic scapes and I’m looking for new ways to use them. I found this White Bean and Garlic Scape Dip that looks simple and yummy and an easy refrigerator pickle, which will make them last longer, Pickled Garlic Scapes.

This probably turned up in my Facebook feed because I (Denise) posted that I just planted 14 kinds of peppers to start seedlings for the garden. If you don’t have fresh and you want to explore chiles check out 11 Dried Mexican Chiles to Know and Love, and How to Use Them. And yes, for inquiring minds, I have every single one of them in my spice stash! Woo hoo!
I keep looking for breakfast ideas. This Blueberry Oat Breakfast Square recipe might work, although I’d have to sub out the agave and the corn starch. Although frankly, I eat way too much oatmeal so it might not be different enough for me.
It’s FRIDAY! Maybe it’s time for chicken wings? I think these 5-spice wings (though I’d need to sub in tamari or my faux tamari) would make a great weekend snack. I love Five Spice, but can’t always figure out how to use it.
And this is only food-adjacent, but my colleagues showed this Pikotaro video to me and I can’t get it out of my head. If only everyone had so much fun while dancing. Maybe this will make you smile even if you’re in a snow zone?
Have a great weekend everyone, send no snow vibes to NH!
