From what I’m seeing at the Farmers’ Market it seems to be common situation. I snagged our first tomatoes [...]

Well, Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they called Yam.Of course, they wanted the best for Yam. When it was time, they told her about the facts of life.They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with

So I have found a new favorite breakfast! The good thing about this, it could probably be eaten at any meal! I found a recipe for Sweet Potato Pancakes in Oxygen Magazine.

Remember the porridge? Yes, the one that Goldilocks found at the table of the Three Bears. Feeding my Baby Bear gave me a whole new appreciation for that porridge. Not because it was steel cut, or organic, or even local. No. That's too sophisticated for us at the moment. The reason that porridge is so near and dear to my heart is that it was in Mama Bear's bowl, Papa Bear's bowl, AND Baby Bear's b

Have you ever heard of a halwa made with Potato? Well I haven't, not till I heard Athamma telling me about it.

To be honest, the standard deli-issued potato salad isn't really my thing. But that said, I still love potato salad, I just can't stand the mush. To keep my potato salad more solid, you'll notice I use a lot less mayonnaise and I cut the potatoes into wedges (rather than slices) and I keep the skins on. The result: A perfect salad for the 4th of July! 2 Pounds of red, white, and blue gourmet p

I have a confession...I ignore conventional wisdom about the planting of my potatoes...and I am only writing about it now because it has worked out A-OK. Here's the first photo of the Yukon Golds...I am also growing fingerling potatoes...What did I do, you ask? There are very few rules about planting potatoes...if it is a small potato, with three eyes or so, you just dig a bit and put it in the ground...If it is a large potato, with multiple eyes, you can cut it into pieces (no smaller than 3 eyes), let it callous for a day, then put it in the ground. Quick sidebar: Eyes are those little things that start growing out of the sides of the potato when you have had it in the bin too long, callous is to leave the cut potato out for a day so it develops a tougher skin on the cut parts.I have o

Mmmmm... I do love sweet potatoes.  It's a real shame how these sweet spuds have gotten a bum rap from folks who have had badly cooked yams at Thanksgiving.  Well, I say that it's time to give these dandies a second chance!  Besides whipping up a batch of Sweet Potato French Fries , my favorite way to prepare sweet potatoes is to use them in a traditional potato salad.  They bring a whole new twist to the proceedings!This particular recipe was given to my Mom by Mrs. Pettibone, our next door neighbor in New Olreans.  Ah, Mrs. Pettibone!  Some of you who have been reading this here blog for awhile are probably familiar with the lovely Mrs. Pettibone, seeing as how I've written about her before (Mrs. Pettibone's Chris

How I came about writing facts about Potato? This was very famous for cooking in France during my stay over there. It was also used as fashion accessory, which I noticed in one of the painting in the Château de Versailles. Potatoes available there were much fresh and so clean with no sand on it. I can hear somebody saying OK, Stop It. So, Let us head straight to the facts now.This nutritious, tasty tuber - now eaten all over the world and the main ingredient in over 406,000 recipes on the Internet - was first cultivated in the South American Andes mountains over 4,000 years ago.The potato consists of about 80percent water and 20percent starch.One medium-size potato (about 150g) contains 100 calories if you boil it or bake it without fat.Website www.thehotpotato.com lists these nutrients i

This curry is my version of a traditional Pakistani curry known as a keema. It is often made with minced lamb, but I have used beef in this one.It is a great meal as it is all made in one pan, no need for cooking rice or vegetables on the side. I was going to put peas in it today, but instead used green runner beans as they were on Buy One Get One Free in the supermarket. Any green vegetables like peas or mange tout would work well in this dish.Ingredients1 tablespoon vegetable oil2 medium onions - chopped3 cloves garlic - chopped4 hot green chillies - chopped with seeds in for extra heat1 small lump fresh ginger - chopped finely or grated500 g minced beef1 tablespoon cumin2 teaspoons dried coriander1 teaspoon hot chilli powder1 teaspoon paprika500 g new potatoes - quartered1 tin choppe

VIA  treehugger.com Nalgene, the company that became the generic name for polycarbonate bottles, has thrown in the towel on Bisphenol A. "Based on all available scientific evidence, we continue to believe that Nalgene products containing BPA are safe for their intended use," Steven Silverman, the general manager of the Nalgene unit, said in a statement. "However, our customers indicated they preferred BPA-free alternatives, and we acted in response to those concerns." Go customers! The government can sit on it's butt but when Wal-Mart talks, companies listen. Nalgene will make Eastman Chemicals very happy....

Voor ongeveer 1 bakplaat. (for the English recipe click here) Sullivan Street Bakery is gevestigd in de wijk SoHo in New York. Deze aardappelpizza is één van de favorieten van de bakkerij. Het is een pizza met dunne krokante bodem. Het deeg is ongebruikelijk, maar niet ingewikkeld. Het is een beslag dat in de standmixer wordt geklopt tot een zeer nat elastisch deeg.

Makes two 13 x 9-inch pans or one half-sheet panTime: About 6 hours, with 30 minutes of active workSullivan Street Bakery is named for its street in the SoHo section of New York City. The bakery is well known for its pizza bianca, but my favorite is this potato pizza. It is very unlike a traditional pizza, more like a very thin-crusted tart heaped with golden waves of potatoes, onions, rosemary, and olive oil. The dough is unusual but not difficult to make. It starts out as a batter but is beaten in a stand mixer into very fluid dough, which bakes into a very thin and bubbly crust. I have mixed flours to achieve an 11.5% protein flour.RECIPE SYNOPSIS Mix the dough for 20 minutes and let it ferment for 4 hours. Line the pan(s) with the dough, and proof for I hour; then top the pizza and ba
