Dark Days 09/10 :: Week #19 Recap (Midwest, West)

The Midwest:

Norah (Aagaard Farms) is glad to have participated (glad to have you!) and feels that she’s made at least a few important people more aware of local resources. Last week they enjoyed cottage pie – also known as shepherd’s pie – with homegorwn pork, onions and a topping of German butterball potatoes. They [...]

Dark Days 09/10 :: Week #19 Recap (PNW)

Carly Mae at A Growing Girl brings us “Local Pasta Two Ways” this week — first, a local pasta carbonara (breakfast for dinner) and then a rigatoni with a roasted tomato and eggplant sauce that she froze over the summer. She rounded out the meal with a plate of local asparagus and a [...]

Heading back into the archives, Stacey (Fessenden Farmstead) makes a repeat Dark Days meal of broccoli quiche with winter CSA vegetables and local dairy. On the side, dilly beans from last year, and a mixed-greens salad — spinach, mustard, chervil, sorrel and lettuce — from her cold frame and even an apple tart for [...]

Dark Days 09/10 :: Week #18 Recap (PacNW)

An over-the-fence gift from a neighbor — freshly caught fish her sons brought home — helped Carly Mae (A Growing Girl) rejoin the Dark Days fold this week. Into the cast-iron skillet went the cleaned fish, plus heirloom tomatoes from the freezer and local onions; then the whole delicious dish was cooked over a backyard [...]

Dark Days 09/10 :: Week #17 Recap (Midwest, West)

The Midwest:

Norah (Aagaard Farms) is scraping the bottom of the pantry and root cellar, but she still managed a mostly local meal of their own pork chops and a side dish of half local Cavena Nuda (the rice for the prairies) and traveling rice. Now I want to try this nutty oat variety!
