What's your favorite way to include alchohol in your cooking? Stick a pin in my Frappr Map! (And be sure to include some sort of a picture!) Peas And Carmelized Onions Over Pasta Today's recipe is very much a "whatever you have in your pantry will be good" kind of pasta dish. You may not like the way I've written it up, but I assure you, it is to set you free. =) Use as much or as little of the following, and trust your instincts. You really can't go wrong. It is my very favorite "nothing to eat" meal: Sundried Tomatoes and Peas with Carmelized Onions over pasta. This is my "famous" improv dish, which relies entirely upon grocery staples with a long shelf life. I ALWAYS try to keep on hand: Onions, sun-dried tomatoes, frozen peas, frozen corn, and pasta. After carmelizing the thinly sliced onions (sprinkle generously with salt, saute over med/high heat until golden, then turn down the heat and cook the hell out of 'em = 20 min to an hour-and-a-half) and soaking the tomatoes in boiling hot water (only needs to be done if they're not packed in oil), I chop the softened tomatoes up, throw them and some sliced garlic into the large saucepan with the onions, add some spices (whatever's on hand and looks good -- today it'll be dried oregano, marjoram red pepper flakes and thyme, and then I just happen to have some "fresh" herbs in the freezer: basil and finely chopped rosemary, possibly some scallions, but that's totally just guilding the lilly.) The dried herbs are added a little before the tomatoes to soften and release their flavor, the fresh at the very end so they're still, well, fresh. Then just before I'm ready to serve, I throw in about a cup or so of the peas, corn (if I have any), and toss them with the freshly cooked pasta. maybe I'll even throw in a lightly beaten egg or two, for protein. If I'm going to do that I temper the eggs first by stirring in about half a cup of boiling hot cooking liquid I've saved from the pasta. Then I just toss that with the hot pasta and the rest of the ingredients, and they cook through while helping the other things to stick, making every bite sure to be full of sweet and savory goodness. If you try this recipe, please let me know! I'd love to hear about your improvisational versions of this from your own pantry.

Thu, 15 February 2007 It's late, but it's finally here! The "After Valentine's Day
Special". No, actually it has nothing at all to do with that holiday
at all, but (belated) Happy Valentine's Day to all of you anyway! Post a review at the iTunes music store to let others know if you enjoy this show! (Go to iTunes music store, type "The Knitting Cook" into the search engine, then post your review from there) A thousand thank-you's to everyone who shared their stories and encouragement with me after the last episode. Today we talk about spinning, knitting handspun, and the proper way to dispose of a tree. Online yarn shop mentioned in today's show: Spunky Eclectic fiber club (she also has a sock of the month club!) Thank you to Jennifer for her thoughtful little gift. Kathy (AKA Linda) has a new blog address. Listener Blog Spotlight: Kate at These Are The Knits I Know (For a chance to have your blog in the spotlight on this show, simply leave a comment about anything here -- I check out all the links, and I feature one blog per episode that catches my eye.) Stick a pin in the Frappr map and be counted! Book Reviews:
Victorian Lace Today ATC swap at Creative Mom Podcast Check out my blog for upcoming post on photography tips, pics of my handspun mittens, and more. Today's Recipe: Blueberry Buckle Recipe by my mom's neighbor, Barbara. Preheat oven to 400 (F) Cream together: 1/4 cup butter, softened 3/4 cup sugar Add and beat until combined: 1 egg Sift into wet mixture and stir until combined: 1-3/4 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt Add and stir until smooth: 1/2 cup milk Fold in: 2 cups blueberries, lightly dusted with flour (this keeps the blueberries from sinking to the bottom while baking) Crumb Topping Combine and mix until crumbly: 1/4 cup softened butter 1/2 cup sugar 1/3 cup flour 1/2 tsp cinnamon (or more to taste) Pour batter into a greased 9" pan and sprinkle with topping. Bake about 35 minutes. Buckle is done when toothpick inserted into center comes out clean (topping will be golden brown). This does work as muffins as well, although it's a little bit tricky to get the sort-of-stiff dough into the little muffin cups. Also, the crumb topping has a tendency to stick to the edges of the pan -- just be sure to use paper liners if you decide to do that. Also, it'll only take 25-30 minutes to bake (once again, test to be sure before removing from oven). Drink with a tall, cold glass of milk or a mug of bitter coffee. Enjoy!

Wed, 31 January 2007 ETA: link to the pattern to my King Kong Cable Footies, Alison of the blue blog who is knitting through Itty Bitty Hats, and link to my Frappr Map. Quick note: Today's Fiber Tale is a rather raw, uncut talk through of my past month, and I'm not sure how cohesive it is, but I didn't want to have to record it again and once again relive all of it; it was difficult enough to talk about the first time through. I feel a little hesitant about being so open, but I am sharing this with all of you in the hopes that it might help someone else who's also trying to find themselves.  Patterns:
Yarn and fiber sources mentioned in this show:
Cooking and leftover tips today, courtesty of Claire, Elizabeth, Erin, Kathy (AKA Linda), Kristi. Most of the music (including theme song and intro to Fiber Tale) on my show is by Havalina, who has generously given me permission to use it. (Free music downloads on their site, since the band does not exist anymore.) Ending song "Blow This Town" by Thee Pirates, used with permission. Other music and soundbytes are from GarageBand. Random bloopers and forgetfulness include but are probably not limited to:
Speaking of forgetfulness, if you emailed me or left a comment on the podcast blog or my fiber blog before I released this show, and you need a response, please email me again, because I got a little behind/overwhelmed. I do read every single one of your comments and emails, and appreciate them so much. Listener feedback is so important to me; it makes the effort of producing the show well worth it. Whether or not I have the time to respond to every single comment and email, I love hearing from you! (I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes, and it thrills me to no end to find you talking about them in iTunes reviews!!) White Bean Spinach Soup by Faith This soup is economical, good for you, and pretty darn tasty. 4 quarts chicken or vegetable stock Splash of olive oil 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1 lb spinach 1/2 lb ripply, chunky pasta (or whatever you feel like) One good chunk of Parmesan cheese (the real thing, not the shelf stable stuff that's powdered and in a can) 2 cans (15 oz each) Northern White Beans or other tender, small white bean Salt and pepper to taste Bring the soup stock to a boil in a 5 quart pot. In the meantime, heat a large saute pan until a bit of water sizzles on the surface. Add oil and garlic. Saute for a few seconds, then add spinach (rinsed and chopped if big). Cover and cook until just barely wilted. Add pasta to soup stock and cook until just done. When the pasta is nearly cooked through, add cheese and beans. Add spinach. Salt and grind in fresh black pepper to taste. Direct download: Episode_08__The_One_With_The_Amazing_Lace.m4a Category: podcasts -- posted at: 6:37 AM Comments[34] |

Tue, 19 December 2006 There was an audio error in the origional file that I posted. I've corrected it and updated the file to reflect the change. You can now re-upload this file if you wish, using the link in the above post. =) (Thanks Sarah for pointing that out!) Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

Terribly embarrassing mistake that I just realized (the podcast is already up though!!): My favorite mushroom recipe comes from Kathy! My most sincere apologies to Kathy, who I referred to as "Linda" in the podcast. (Where exactly is my brain today? This is the question.) Her wonderful suggestion comes from this link: Food Network Rosemary and Goat Cheese Stuffed Chicken with Wild Mushroom Sauce Go visit Kathy's blog and tell her that she's cool even though I seem to have renamed her. (Not to mention, her latest post has some terribly cute and funny pictures of here little one, as well as some beautiful FO's) Blog spotlight: Dawn at Crochet Compulsive Cooking tips today come from Dawn (see above link) and MA. Thank you especially to those of you who have been leaving iTunes comments. When you write a review and talk about what you like about the show, it recommends this podcast to prospective listeners.

Thank you also to everyone who leaves comments on the blog and email me. Thanks especially to those who have said that you like my voice and enjoy the content. That really means a lot to me. New listener response question: What is your favorite thing to revive leftovers so that you don't get sick of the original dish? Leave a comment or send me an email and let me know! When you send me emails, please include the word "podcast" in the headers for my sorting purposes.

Mon, 4 December 2006 To check out the shownotes, go to theknittingcook.com.
For the sake of those with a non-iPod MP3 player, I have considered releasing the episodes in MP3 format, but it makes the files way too big, and it takes about an hour for me to just upload it to the internet (and besides that, it overloads my account with Libsyn, so I'd have to buy a bigger plan, etc.). However, you can convert the MP4 to MP3 for yourself, simply by highlighting the podcast file, going to the "advanced" option of the menu in your computer's music program (iTunes, or whatever you happen to have -- I highly suggest iTunes, as it's very organized, user friendly, and works with either Mac or PC), and choosing "convert file to MP3". Where are you in the world? Stick a pin in my Frappr map! Listener response question: what's your favorite way to cook mushrooms? The best recipe will be chosen by me and my auspicious set of food judges (The Mr., Sparky, Max, and possibly my sister), and I will relate our findings in the next show. Cooking tips were submitted by: Jocelyn, Dawn and Susie Blog Spotlight: Susie's Sleeper Springs Diary Need some last minute Christmas gift ideas? Buy someone a gift subscription to Gourmet, Saveur or Bon Appetite -- or ask for them on your own list! I subscribe to the first two, and can attest to excellent quality in writing as well as outstanding recipes. If your list of gifts to knit is getting way too long, consider baking something instead. Check back at this blog for my favorite standby "gift" recipes in the next few weeks, and also consider the latest (December) issue of Gourmet -- tons of great ideas, and delicious looking too. Check out my Super Secret Crochet Project on my blog. The other Mini Eleanor (essentially a Danica) is being knit by Mouse of Knotty Mouse. (She also happens to sell adorable stitch markers and other fun stuff. Check out her store!) I will post the recipe for Molasses Crinkles shortly. Thanks to David from Sticks And String for the bumper! Comments[8] |

Go to my fiber arts blog: The Needle And The Damage Done to see pictures of the yarn I talked about in today's show -- scroll down to the November 12th post. What in the heck is a Wonderful Wallaby? Contributors to today's cooking tips were (in no particular order): Lisa, Dawn, Julia, Anne. Today's recipe: Black Beans and Basmati Rice Put in a pot to boil with lid on: 4 cups water 2 cubes bullion (preferably with no MSG) Rinse in strainer until water runs clear: 2 cups Bamati Rice When water comes to a boil, add rice. DO NOT STIR (or your rice will be mushy). Probably will cook in 15 to 20 minutes, but follow directions on package. To check for done-ness, carefull make a little hole in the center with a spoon, and see if there is still water in the bottom of the pot. Warm in large saute pan: 2 Tablespoons olive oil Add to pan and sprinkle with salt: 1/2 cup chopped onion Saute until the onion begins to wilt, then add: 1 or 2 cloves minced or pressed garlic 1 Tablespoon Cumin 1 teaspoon Corriander Saute for a minute more, then add: 3 cans (16 oz each) black beans Stir and cook until hot all the way through. Taste and then add more salt if needed (beans in a can usually have a fair amount of salt on them already, so be careful). Serve over rice by itself, or with rice inside warm flour tortillas. Add sour cream, sharp cheddar and spicy salsa if you'd like. Direct download: Episode_05__The_One_With_The_Fussy_Wool.m4a Category: podcasts -- posted at: 11:32 AM Comments[8] |
Mon, 6 November 2006  (Edited to update link for David's podcast)Hi! I'm on a bi-monthly schedule now, so look for me every-other-Monday. Thank you to everyone who was so encouraging about the last show. You all made my week! Mind of Winter: We are community Babe Wheels (an inexpensive way to start down the slippery spinning slope) (Oh, forgot to mention in the episode, but I have since bought a Lendrum.) Stacy at Sheep In The City: Rambling Rows Blogger Afgan Blog Spotlight: Nads Knitting Basket Blog New podcast! Sticks and String with David Reidy. He puts together a solid show; it's a great listen, so check it out. Add a comment and I may pick your blog for next show's spotlight! Please give me your cooking tips and tricks. Leave a comment, send me an email or click "Odeo" in my sidebar to leave an audio comment. If I use your tip for the show, your blog link will appear here.  Not Your Average Meatballs: (As usual, recipe by the esteemed Josephine R.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F) Place in bowl: 1 lb lean ground beef Add: 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs (if unseasoned, you will need to intensify the following seasonings a little) 1 egg 1/4 cup fresh, chopped parsley 1/4 cup red or yellow onion, diced small 1 clove garlic, minced or pressed 1/2 tsp Oregano 1/2 tsp Basil 2 tsp Garlic Salt 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup freshly shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese Squish together until combined. Roll into balls and place in lightly greased jelly-roll pan or other pan with sides. If you make the meatballs big, they will look more impressive, but will take longer to bake. If smaller, they will stretch further at dinner and take less time to bake. (Two tablespoon sized meatballs will take about a half-hour.) Bake until lightly browned and grey all the way through. I usually serve this with tomato sauce (see sauce recipe in Episode 01 shownotes) and pasta, but you can just as easily serve this on a roll for a meatball sub, or just eat them by themselves. They're that good. Direct download: Episode_04__The_One_With_The_Endless_Singles.m4a Category: podcasts -- posted at: 3:14 AM Comments[10] |
Wed, 25 October 2006 No pictures this time are imbedded in the files -- it was making them
terribly large and some people had trouble viewing. Also, I cut out
most of the music, using instrumental clips instead. I need your
thoughts on the new format! So sorry about some excess backround noise today. Besides my children stopping in occasionally, my computer also decided to hum at some point, the room was echoing (I need to hang stuff on the walls in the studio, it seems), and I decided not to edit much, so you've got the Real Thing today, folks! Enjoy! Visit the site for shownotes or to leave a comment at http://theknittingcook.com Or, send Faith an email at Faithad AT gmail.com Links to patterns mentioned today: Orangina (my pic) Broadripple Socks (my pic) Baby Suprise Sweater Spunky Toddler Sock (my pic) Put a pin in our Frappr map! Just in case you feel like learning a little German, here's a good translator. Learn how to knead dough! I like this video even better. Today's recipe: Honey Wheat Bread Developed by Josephine R., my mom, who's the best baker and cook that I know. Makes 1 loaf Mix together in large bowl: 1-3/4 cups whole wheat flour 1 cup white bread flour 1 Tablespoon Vital Wheat Gluten flour (usually sold in a small box at the grocery store in health food section, or in large bins at health food store) 2-1/4 teaspoon dry active yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup rolled oats Melt: 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick) Add to butter and heat together until 110-120 degrees (F): 1 cup water 1/4 cup honey Add warm liquid to flour mixture. Stir in: 1 egg Combine well. Add more white flour as needed until dough is stiff enough to knead. Turn out on counter and knead until smooth (5-10 minutes), adding white flour as needed. Place in greased bowl and cover with clean dish towel. Let rise until doubled (1-2 hours, depending on how warm and "yeasty" your kitchen is). Punch down, roll into log and place in well greased bread pan. Cover with towel again and let rise until doubled (1 or 1-1/2 hours). Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden and sounds sort of hollow when tapped. Turn out immediately onto cooling rack. Slices best when cool, but I bet you can't wait! (I never do.) =) Comments[15] |
Fri, 8 September 2006 So sorry that I haven't podcasted in a while. There have recently been some major shifts in my life that are exciting, but take much adjusting. I will podcast again as soon as possible (probably in a few weeks) and give you all more details on what's going on. Thank you so much to those of you who have emailed me asking about the future of the show! That means so much to me that there are some of you actually looking forward to upcoming episodes. I do this for all of you, so it's wonderful to hear your responses. In the meantime, if you wish, you can check in on my knitting blog: The Needle And The Damage Done to keep up with my adventures. See you all soon! Category: podcasts -- posted at: 6:27 PM Comments[1] |
Thu, 27 July 2006  There were a few technical errors uploading this file to the server, so you may have a "dummy" file as well as the real one. The dummy is 12 seconds long, so feel free to delete it. =)In this episode, Faith learns what tricks Wilton’s Icing Dye my play on you if you’re not careful. Beware the bold hues! Stay up to date on Faith’s daily knit and spin-ventures (and see a heck of a lot better pictures!) on her blog. Speaking of blogs, has anyone noticed the little slideshows imbedded in each episode? Today’s podcast has a dumb little joke through it. Actually, it’s less of a joke, and more of just something that Faith was amusing herself with. Can anyone spot it? Did you know that this podcast has chapters? Every episode has points through it that you can skip forwards or back to. Hate the music? Don’t be concerned. Just skip right on by. Want to hear the spinning tale again? Jump back with no problem. Today’s band spotlight: Anathallo. They have an official website and a MySpace page. They’ve kindly given permission for these songs to be used. If you enjoyed their music, go buy some at their site or on iTunes!
Theme song (Borris The Milkman) and "Fiber Tale" song both written by the creative and talanted Havalina (RIP). Used by permission. Recipe overview: Today’s recipe is adapted from one by Matther London in Gourmet Magazine. Caramel Ice Cream 1 cup sugar 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup milk 6 egg yolks 6 Tablespoons light corn syrup coarse or flaky sea salt (optional garnish) (Special equipment: candy thermometer, ice cream maker) Combine sugar and salt in a 4 quart pot. Cook over medium heat without stirring. When sugar starts to melt, stir occasionally until evenly melted to light golden caramel (about 8 minutes). Add cream and stir until caramel has dissolved. Add milk and bring back up to boil. Remove from heat. Wisk egg yolks and syrup together. Pour half of hot caramel mixture slowly into egg yolks, stirring quickly with whisk. Add all of yolk mixture slowly to hot mixture in pot, and cook on low heat stirring constantly until thick enough to coat back of spoon and thermometer reads 170-175 degrees (F). Remove from heat, pour through fine mesh sieve. Pour into metal bowl that has been placed in bigger bowl full of ice and water to cool it quickly for 20 minutes. Chill in refrigerator until cold. Freeze in ice cream maker as directed, then put into freezer to firm up the rest of the way for about 4 hours. Garnish individual servings with sea salt if desired, and enjoy.
