How twitter and gopher were born, (or) why you should make it work on the worst system first - Vacuum
january 2011 by vielmetti
"We took the Usenet (the Internet's newsgroup system) cookbook and put that into it," says McCahill. "That was the first thing - so first the Gopher was serving recipes up. We figured everybody ate, and it was a good way of illustrating what full-text searching could do."
If you were looking for recipes with eggplant, you simply typed in the word and the application would locate every eggplant reference - a dazzling capability in 1991.

Seasoned Acorn Jelly (Dotori Muk Muchim) at My Korean Kitchen
june 2009 by vielmetti
In my memory, I don’t think I liked the seasoned acorn jelly that much because of its bitter taste, but now I love it, it is like an adult appreciates good food more than a child. It has a slightly bitter taste from the acorn jelly and a slightly sweet and salty taste from the sauce, which I love, and this recipe is like that.

Harvesting the wild: acorns by Jackie Clay Issue #79
june 2009 by vielmetti
When all are done, get out your food grinder. Put a fine knife on the grinder and run the shelled acorns through it. This makes a coarse meal. Place this in a large crock or glass bowl. Then add boiling water to cover and let stand an hour. Drain and throw away the brownish, unappetizing water. Repeat. Then taste the meal. It should have a bit of a bitter tang, then taste sweet as you chew a piece. Continue leaching out the tannin as long as necessary.

My Paper Crane
june 2009 by vielmetti
My friend Katie told me about a recipe she found for making acorn cookies. I’ve been excited to try them and found a recipe and changed it a little last night. The kids and I shaped the acorns, dipped the tops in chocolate, and then rolled them in ground walnuts. I added some finely ground coffee beans in with the walnuts for a coffee/walnut sort of flavor. The kids preferred their cookies just dipped in chocolate. If you have a nut allergy or just don’t like nuts you could try crushed cookies or something similar.

Rhubarbaria - recipes for rhubarb
june 2009 by vielmetti
Mary Prior has compiled an anthology of recipes ancient and modern that highlight rhubarb. It first came to us as a medicine but has successfully naturalized as a culinary favourite. Drawing on the cuisines of England, Scotland, Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe, America and New Zealand, she provides a rhubarbaric dish for every occasion. There is particular emphasis on recipes from Shetland, because the author spends half the year on the islands and rhubarb has a special place in Shetland’s cookery.

Recipes :: What can you do with an armful of rhubarb? :: Farmers' Almanac
may 2009 by vielmetti
Those who are self-conscious about using white crystal sugar can blend rhubarb with raisins, dates, prunes, honey, maple syrup, and even molasses. Consider other sour foods such as lemons, vinegar, sorrel, and sour cream. They make wonderful sweet and sour combinations: lemonade, chutneys, pickles, sweet and sour spareribs, Chinese hot and sour soup. Try substituting rhubarb, either raw, cooked, or as strained juice, in some of these dishes. Why not rhubarbade or rhubarb chutney?

When you have kids, supper has to be on the table every night. And when you are a vegan, the drive-thru, the deli counter, and TV dinners/frozen convenience foods are not an option. So, you do the best you can. This blog is a record of what my family eats. It's not always a totally complete meal, not always photogenic, and sometimes it's leftovers. But, it is a realistic look at a vegan family in a northern Ontario city that is not always vegan-friendly.

Most home fries recipes I've seen contain just a few basic ingredients, like salt, pepper, oil, garlic, and onions, but this one uses other ingredients that are more common to Spanish cuisine—paprika, parsley, and turmeric. OK, saffron is technically the ingredient common to Spanish cuisine, and turmeric is just an inexpensive way to cheat.

Squash 101 - Enchiladas | The Farmer's Marketer
november 2008 by vielmetti
So those six squashes in the cupboard? I baked them all at once (saving energy), and with the fillings made squash enchiladas, added some squash to thicken a red lentil soup and put the rest in the freezer for the dark days of January. The other best quality of winter squash? Its warm golden color - a reminder that summer may one day come again.
Once again, the inspiration for this dish was everything in the farm share box. Martha suggested the tomatillo sauce to go with the squash enchilada, but said a red enchilada sauce could also work. The tomatillo sauce was delicious!

FARE OF THE COUNTRY; ITALY'S POLENTA: MORE THAN MUSH - New York Times
november 2008 by vielmetti
Polenta has long conquered the Venetian plain that stretches from the Alpine foothills to the Adriatic Sea and has made inroads into other areas in northern Italy, Lombardy and Piedmont. It is popular also in the Slovenia region of Yugoslavia and in Austria's Tyrol. A polenta-like cornmeal dish, mamaliga, is fancied by the peasants in Rumania. The Italian nickname for polenta eaters, polentoni, not an ethnic slur, applies above all to the inhabitants of the Friuli region northeast of Venice, where the city of Udine is the administrative and cultural center.

Polenta: Centuries-old Italian dish a proud link to a pleasant past
november 2008 by vielmetti
Since the early 1700s, polenta and beans had nourished peasants and laborers. Not simply a food, polenta consoled the family, soothed it, filled it up. For many Italians, it took post-World War II affluence to finally banish polenta as the mainstay of the diet. Even so, the Italians of the north still are often called polentoni, or "polenta eaters."

eat, drink & be vegan: News and Chews
november 2008 by vielmetti
The tofu bathes in a marinade of white wine, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, oregano, agave nectar sun-dried tomatoes, grapes (yes grapes!) and Moroccan dry olives. Do try to use these Moroccan dry olives, rather than kalamata or other olives. They lend a very distinctive taste that is superb in this dish. Also, do try to use organic grapes if at all possible. (they are part of the dirty dozen, remember). While the recipe calls for red grapes, I used organic green grapes this time, and they worked fine. Oh, and use 1/3 cup of grapes rather than 1/4, as per edits here. Serve it with a whole grain, or with roasted potatoes, or polenta. This is also a marvelous dish for those of you that cannot eat garlic and/or onions (I have heard from quite a few of you with this dietary restriction). Plenty of flavor in this dish with no garlic or onion to be found.

Hungry Cravings: Cheater Method

I love warm, comforting polenta, but I don’t like making it the traditional way. I don’t know about you, but I have better things to do than whisk the lava-like mixture constantly for 15 minutes or more. So I’ve devised an easy cheater method, which involves the oven and only an occasional stir.

Orangette: Pleasantly sogged
october 2008 by vielmetti
In fact, what the waiter set down in front of me a few minutes later was the closest I have ever come, in a restaurant, to my ideal lunch. It was a wide soup bowl - the type my mother calls a cream soup bowl - and in it was a beautifully sloppy pile of kale, stewed into tenderness in a clear, fragrant broth. Beneath the kale was a generous slice of country bread, happily soaking up the aforementioned broth, and atop it all sat a fried egg, waiting to loose its yolk onto the greens below. It wasn’t rocket science, but it was everything I love about Zuni Café: unpretentious, perfectly pitched, and utterly ballsy in its plainness. The best part was, of course, that it was delicious. The kale was sweet and earthy, the egg mellow and rich, and the bread soft, comforting, pleasantly sogged.

Ezra Pound Cake » Blog Archive » My New BFF: Butternut Squash Risotto
october 2008 by vielmetti
First, there are the sweet, peppery cubes of roasted butternut squash. Delicious on their own. But then you start simmering a little pot of chicken stock and sautéeing the pancetta and minced shallots in melted butter, and the smells mingling in the kitchen are nothing short of intoxicating. After about 10 minutes, you add the Arborio rice and a little champagne. (The recipe calls for dry white wine, but we are rich in champagne – one of the many benefits of getting married on New Year’s Eve.) And then you ask yourself, “What would Ina do?,” and pour yourself a glass.

Cooking With Acorns
october 2008 by vielmetti
There is first and foremost, the original recipe: AFTER THE ACORNS ARE **COMPLETELY DRY** & REMOVED FROM THEIR SHELLS, the Acorns are ground until the meal is so fine that "it will stick to the basket sifter" when it is turned upside down. When you have determined that you have ground the acorns to "primo" consistency, you must then leach it. This was traditionally accomplished (before we had woven cloth to work with) by building a mound of fine sand, near a spring or the river, and then scooping out the center. The meal you wished to leach was placed in the center of this mound and water poured over a clean cedar bough which was placed or held above the acorn meal. The tannin would leach out of the acorn meal and harmlessly down into the sand. When tasting it showed the tannin had been removed, the meal was carefully removed from its sand "colander" and put into a cooking basket.

Once the squash has cooled down a little, shake off the pancetta and chestnuts and finely chop the squash – it will be quite mushy but that’s fine. I go for half of it fine and half chunky. Add this to the risotto at the end of Stage 3. Carry on as normal through the basic recipe, season to taste and serve with the pancetta, chestnuts, sage leaves and squash seeds sprinkled over the top.

During that trip one of my co-workers suggested we drive out and experience a Green Chile Cheeseburger. All you have to say is burger and I'm down for a food adventure, but little did I know this burger would remain in my memory for over 10 years. She took us to the Bobcat Bite, a small outpost on Old Las Vegas Highway that's been open since 1953. It was so utterly fantastic and perfect and I felt like I stumbled onto a movie or music video set. My co-worker Polly commanded us to order the green chile burger and of course the entire table obliged.

Strawberry ice cream with balsamic vinegar » delicious:days
september 2008 by vielmetti
The million dollar question: Should I opt for a quick cream version or stick with a classic custard ice cream? I chose the latter. And quite rightly so! The custard version adds a complexity to the strawberry-balsamic flavor, that I'm not sure a simple cream version can live up to. Just make sure to use the best balsamic vinegar you can afford and not to add too much of it. The vinegar should accentuate the strawberry flavor nicely, but not suffocate it. Highly recommended for ice cream afficinados!

Anelletti alla Lodovico This kind of pasta, shaped alike a ring for your finger, is quite difficult to be found, specially outside the Palermo-Trapani environment. Try to find any other kind which is easy to be placed in layers AND be able to "incorporate" some sauce within each individual (i.e. lasagne is not advisable). Prepare an abundant thick tomato sauce with heavy flavour of basil. The "heavy" consistency is achieved by gently frying the onions with abundant carrots, always cut as small as possible. The sauce is ready when you are no longer able to distinguish pieces of onion, or carrot, or tomato…. Big samples of basil may finally be extracted if they were joined to the sauce as such (i.e. they will not "disappear")

Mother's Kitchen: Pickled Eggs
september 2008 by vielmetti
In Houghton, where MTU is located. there is a bar called the B&B which is arguably the most famous pickled egg place in the U.P. It's located on M26 on the way to Ontonagon, but it is still in town. The bar features a sticky floor, an unleveled pool table with crooked cues, and is frequented by locals. The B&B used to serve a Wisconsin beer called "Gilt Edge", but it no longer exists. I think they serve Old Milwaukee in it's place. Back in the day, you could get a beer in a small pilsner glass (called a "shell" in Yooper speak) and a pickled egg for 80 cents. This was called a "boneless chicken dinner" by the locals. I know people that regularly make a pilgrimage to the B&B from downstate just for the pickled eggs, but I will save you the 500 miles each way by sharing their recipe that someone once gave me when I was a student.

Orangette: The important parts / Apricot Tart
august 2008 by vielmetti
I’ve made this pie dough recipe a dozen times now, easy, and it is the one that I am using in my book, and I really can’t say enough good things about it. It’s buttery and impossibly flaky and has yet to let me down, and on several occasions, it has even inspired perfectly sated people to beg for seconds. I don’t know about you, but that’s what I look for in a pie dough. Top it with some ripe, fragrant apricots, a little sugar, and a bit of salt, and you’re in business, as they say. In the heat of the oven, the dough goes golden, crisp, and toasty, and the apricots release their juices to mingle with the sugar, forming a glossy, sweet-tart glaze that settles under and around them. Cut into wedges and dolloped with crème fraîche, it’s the closest you can get to serving summer on a dessert plate. And when you run out of chocolate chip cookies, that’s not a bad idea.

CapeCodTimes.com - Rose hips let jelly makers bloom
august 2008 by vielmetti
Edwards followed a recipe from "Putting Food By," a 1992 paperback cookbook by Janet C. Greene and others. Most recipes say to gather rose hips after they are sweetened by frost, but Edwards will be back at school by then. After picking a quantity of rose hips, he removes the stem and green leaves and cuts the hips in half. He seeds them, using a lobster pick to remove seeds from the hip. The step is not necessary, but Edwards said it enhances the flavor. "When I didn't do that the first batch, I had a hell of a time straining all the juice out," Edwards said. He covers the hips with water and boils them for 25 minutes.

Homemade Pomegranate Liqueur Recipe
august 2008 by vielmetti
Finally one summer, my girlfriend brought me a present she found at a local yard sale. It's an old, aluminum orange press. Basically, it's a round bowl with a hinged pressing plate attached to a 12-inch lever arm. It's all made of thick, sturdy aluminum, and withstands the rigors of pomegranate pods admirably. Suddenly, and just in time for pomegranate season, we had a press sufficient for our needs. Two dozen pomegranates later, we had jars and jars of delicious pomegranate jelly, and a half a dozen jars of precious pomegranate experiments.
Those experiments were, as I always tell people to do, variations on the central theme. I knew that my good pomegranate liqueur had a certain proportion of pomegranates, lemon peel, sugar and alcohol, but I wanted to me sure, and I wanted to undrestand some things about the seeds and skins.

Those experiments were, as I always tell people to do, variations on the central theme. I knew that my good pomegranate liqueur had a certain proportion of pomegranates, lemon peel, sugar and alcohol, but I wanted to me sure, and I wanted to undrestand some things about the seeds and skins.

Suddenly, Ricotta’s A Big Cheese - NYTimes.com
august 2008 by vielmetti
Last week I discovered a simple process for making a creamy, lush fresh cheese on the kitchen stove, starting with whole milk instead of whey. Lovers of Greek yogurt, crème fraîche and plain old sour cream will never look back after making ricotta at home with this technique: apply heat and little bit of acid to milk — whether grass-fed, organic or supermarket — and it separates with startling obedience into curds and whey. The “cheesemaker” has only to stand there with a ladle, a colander and some cheesecloth. Fifteen minutes’ wait produces fluffy ricotta cheese with a fresh milky flavor that no amount of cash can buy, even at New York’s remaining latticini, Italian cheese shops that make their own mozzarella and ricotta.

Whatever: How to Make a Schadenfreude Pie
july 2008 by vielmetti
I wondered to myself, "what would Schadenfreude Pie taste like?" / My guess: Dark. Rich. And oh so bittersweet.
Schadenfreude pie,
Schadenfreude pie,
I think that I will get some,
If someone else would die.
With apologies to Dennis Lee.
