Sunday Happy

August 4, 2019 Colleen Stem

August. Then gem of the summer. Warm days, cool nights. The knowledge that yes, it is still summery now, but soon it will be crisp, and cool, and all fall with sweaters and apples and… I am getting ahead of myself. Still summer here, and I should just enjoy it will it lasts. So that is what I will do.

This past week was busy and a little on the stressful side at times. It started with camping on Sunday which was good, maybe not the best, but no camping is bad camping, unless it is bad. It just that is was terribibly hot and there was a lot of people around and poison ivy everywhere which made me anxious because I was also getting attacked by mosquitoes so I kept thinking I was starting to get it. (I am very allergic to poison ivy). Also I woke up in the middle if the night to the mr yelling because someone was looking into our tent. I didn’t see said person because I was asleep until I wasn’t and I did questioned whether or not he might have dreamed it, but needless to say, I didn't not sleep much after that. So yeah, other then that, not bad. And then we got out of the tent early, made the coffee and went on our way home. To life. We had (and still have) a lot of stuff going on, all at once because that is how it goes. But we got stuff done, and then some. And we even managed to get in a couple kayak sessions! First of the year because we are butts and also we just finally got around to getting racks for the car.(No more truck to throw them into. Sad). We also made time to look at a big chunk of land that I was sooooo expecting to love but nope, wasn’t for us. We test drove a newer van that was awesome, but again,wasn;t for us. We picked up farm share together and ate ten thousand tomatoes, and are now officially 100% filed and finished our taxes. Checks were wrote, I might have cried a little, but done they are.

So yeah, the week went, we did, I am tired, the mr is really tired, and we are ready to get out of here for the night. Our camping stuff is packed and ready to go. Now where are we going is the question…..Somewhere without night creepers would be nice.

Parsley Mint Pesto Pasta Salad

August 3, 2019 Colleen Stem

IMG_0756.jpg

Have I told you how amazing my farmshare is? I am sure I have, but if I haven’t lately, well let me just tell you, it is. All summer long we (the members) get to pick a bunch of fresh herbs every week. Basil, scallions, dill, parsely, and cilantro. Planted every few weeks to keep us in the herbs all summer long. And every few weeks there is a herb free for all. Pick unlimited amounts of whatever herb is plentiful. Last week it was unlimited parsley. Yeah there was unlimited basil and that was nice too, but the parsley, the underrated, overlooked herb. That was what I wanted and I picked the shit out of it.

Parsley. No I is not just a green sprig that garnishes your plate at a restaurant. It is a great spicy, fresh, clean tasting herb that plays so well with everything. I really think parsley can, and should, make it’s way into almost any dish. It adds a touch more brightness to any spice blend. And there is just something about munching on some fresh parsley, it just works for me. Parsley is good friends. No. Parsley is great.

So now we match said parsley with another bright herb, mint, and blend it up into a pesto. Magic on the tongue. And a no brainer for pesto is pasta, although this pesto would make a great spread or smothered on grilled veggies or scooped into soup.

A summery pesto pasta salad dish situation. Perfect for all the times that you are hungry and need food.

To the pesto pasta salad!

IMG_0619.jpg

The stuff. Parsley. mint, a few scallions, toasted almonds, garlic, a lemon, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper, and olive oil. Also pasta, a cucumber, and a big handful of cherry tomatoes.

IMG_0636.jpg
IMG_0641.jpg

First for pesto. Start by pulsing the almonds in a food processor until they become a nice crumb. Remove about 1/4 cup and set aside.

IMG_0633.jpg

Grab the herbs and scallions and remove any really wooden stems (keep the more tender ones) and rip the herbs into smaller pieces.

IMG_0649.jpg

All the parsley, mint, and scallions now go into food processor with almonds, along with the garlic, nutritional yeast, the juice of the lemon, and a pinch of salt and some crack pepper. Pulse the food processor and stream in the olive oil until everything comes together. You might need to stop and scrape the sides a few times.

And then you have pesto!

IMG_0673.jpg
IMG_0681.jpg

Now you need pasta. Cook it to the directions on the package you got it from. Cook it all the way through then when you strain it, rinse it with a little cool water.

IMG_0683.jpg

Chop up the cucumber into small chunks and half or quarter the cherry tomatoes.

IMG_0687.jpg

And to put it all together. Pasta goes in a bowl. Add in the pesto. If the pesto seems a little on the thick side and not easily mixes, add in a little warm water to thin it out a bit.

IMG_0694.jpg

Add the cucumber and tomatoes.

IMG_0702.jpg

Mix some more, sprinkle on lots of the crumbled almonds you set aside, maybe a few more springs of parsley and a few more leaves of mint for good measure and call it done.

Be ready to eat cause this salad is ready to be eaten.

Parsley Mint Pesto Pasta Salad

Makes a pound of pasta

  • 2 cups packed parsley (Curly or flat. I used curly)

  • 1 cup packed mint

  • a few scallions if you have them

  • 3/4 cup roasted almonds

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • a lemon

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1/2- 3/4 cup olive oil

  • salt and pepper

  • 1 pound bow tie pasta

  • Big handful cherry tomatoes

  • a tender skinned cucumber

Note. This recipe makes a big batch of pesto and big pasta salad. You can totally make the all the pesto and only use half and only boil half of the pasta. Just stored left over pesto in a jar in the fridge for about week or so or stick it in the freezer for a few months. And you can use it for all sorts of great things like sandwiches, salads, as a dip… whatever you want.

To make the pesto. Place almonds in food processor and pulse until crumbly then remove about a 1/4 cup and set aside. Add in the garlic and pulse a few times. Then grab the parsley, mint, and scallions. Remove any tough stems and rip the herbs into smaller pieces. Add them to food processor along with the nutritional yeast, the juice of the lemon, and a good pinch or two of salt and lots of pepper. Pulse while slowly adding in the olive oil. Stop, scrap sides, then pulse until smooth. Taste and add more salt if needed.

Half or quarter cherry tomatoes and cut cucumber into small chunks

Cook the pasta. Big pot of boil water with a pinch pf salt. Cook until fully cooked, then drain. Give it a quick rinse of cool water. Dump the pasta into a big bowl.

To make the pasta salad. Scoop pesto into bowl with the pasta and mix it until all the pasta is evenly coated. If pesto is really thick, just add a little warm water to thin it out. Add in the cut up tomatoes and cucumber, mix, then top with the reserves ground up almonds and a handful more of chopped fresh mint and parsley.

Eat.

Left overs should be stored in fridge for a a few days. Left over pesto a week or so and or in the freezer for a few months.

Summer at it’s fullest and greatest. And not so great, at it’s hottest. At least this past week was freaking amazing, especially compared to last weekend. That humid heat damn near killed me!

The week started off with a soggy hike and a heat soaked day of camping and fun times. Groton State forest, at the Stillwater campground. The mr and I were both a little drained and tired from being so so hot but we managed alright, went and did some hiking, the mr did a little fishing, I sat around and read. The normal, just a little slower then usually. But it all changed that night. We woke up and walked down to the water to watch the sunrise and take in the fresh, glorious, air. It was not hot and humid and we was alive again. HA

Then after camp, home we went, back to the week. Stuff happened, like stuff that needed to happen, like those taxes that I have not wanted to talk about… They are pretty much done. HOORAY!!! All the ups and downs. The few tears, the rage, the anxiety. Over. And now I can stop worring about them for a least a few more months, until next year that is. Because every year. Blah. Stupid taxes.

Besides taxes, there was a dentist appointment that I sat around and waited for but never got to be seen. (SO PISSED) Paul came over for resume help and food. The mr, Barb, Coco, and I spent an afternoon at the park. I weeded for hours in the garden. And lets talk about the garden. Whoa it is going and going. Right now it’s all about the squash, chard, and greens and the tomatoes will be booming soon!!!!!!!!!! That on top of farm share, well I am just one happy, full to the brim, lady.

The rest of the week was and went.

Friday I worked the studio all day then the mr and the littles picked me up. We ran to the store to get supplies, then went home for our first backyard campout. The rule was, besides me, no one was allowed inside at all until just before bed time to use the bathroom and brush our teeth. (Or to go number two. They needed to use the toilet for that. Ha). And so I got dinner stuff ready (In the house but I needed to use the fridge and because I could), we ate dinner at the picnic table, set up the tents, made a fire, did so-mores, played with fire, and the kids ran around hopped up on sugar. We went to the park, walked around the neighborhood, and when it got dark, lit up some sparklers. It was the best! The kids were so happy, the mr and I were happy to be camping again, even if it was just the backyard, and really, it just was so great. Even when we were in our tent trying to fall asleep and all I could hear was Miley and Judah whispering and giggling and playing cards in their tent. Because that is what you do when you camp and it had me falling asleep smiling.

When we woke up (I woke up 3 hours earlier then everyone, made a pot of coffee and read on the porch) the breakfast stuff was ready outside. Eggs and toast on the camp stove. Hot chocolate, and freshly picked raspberries from the bushes in the yard. Then back to the park, and home they went. Probably some of the best camping yet. And now that we know they are awesome in a tent, we are taking them to a state park in the next few weeks. That’s gonna be fun.

Today we are heading south to camp. Lake St. Katherine or maybe Half Moon. Not sure yet. The plan is to get close and see which one feels right. We were going to bring the kayaks but It might rain and thunderstorm during the afternoon and tonight so I figured we can just go hiking instead. I would rather be in the woods and not in the middle of the lake during a lightning storm. That would kind of suck. But watch, it probably won’t rain, and even if it does, I am ok with that. We won’t melt.

Holy shit. I am so hot. Like heated to the very depths of my soul and can’t even think straight, hot. And It sucks, but what can we do about it? (Apparently I can bitch about it. Ha!)

We started the week off in the woods doing the camp thing. The park, Allis State Park, was just gorgeous. Nice and quite, lush and green, with a really cool fire tower with views for days. (I climbed it, the mr stayed on solid ground) The weather was amazing and it really was just what we needed. We went for a good hike, made lentils and zucchini for dinner, then just hung around and chilled by the fire. The perfect start to camping season even though I forgot my camp clothes. We were coming from a visit that required me to look decent and I forgot to pack a change of clothes and only grabbed my thin thermal underwear that I sleep in. But lucky me, the mr let me wear his extra shirt so I managed alright. That mr. Always looking out for me.

Back in town we did life as usual although with the heat and all we, especially me, have functioned at a much slower pace. We did manage to go for a bike ride lunch, another couple small hikes, and pick lots of flowers on top of feeding Megans cat everyday. And my garden is growing at a rapid pace and is now on the verge of being overcome by the onslaught of weeds. I just haven’t wanted to spend to much time weeding this week because again, heat and all. Other then that, same old, same old.

Friday I was really excited to spend the afternoon working at the studio. But when I got there, all the kilns were on and reaching maximum temperature so the studio was a bit toasted warm and not the pleasant cool I was looking forward to. After work, the mr and littles picked me up, (they just went to the movies and were complaining how cold it was… brat faces) we went home and I made them pasta because I couldn’t do much more. They played in the sprinkler then we tried to walk around the block but they just couldn’t make it around because of the heat, then Miley felt sick and had to go home. So the mr and Judah brought her home and went to get supplies. Ice cream and chips. We ended up watching Kindergarten Cop which I haven’t seen in like 20 years (it was terrible and Judah loved it) then made Judah a bed in our room so we could all crank the ac for the night and not melt.

Woke up, did the pancakes, went on a few errands, and dropped the boy off to his air conditioned family. Then the heat really just plowed me over. My brain tuned to mush, I cleaned a bit, picked blackberries from the yard, and basically just laid around on the floor and sweated. It was nasty and I was miserable. Meanwhile the mr was outside mowing the lawn because he is a glutton for punishment. And crazy. And that was the day. I was showered and locked away in the bedroom with the ac on by 7. And it was nice.

Currently sitting in the living room, with no ac, at 4am and the tempature is 87. It’s just not right.

Going onwards with the day we are headed back into the woods again and I am optimistic. Camping by a lake in a forest so we should be semi cool?? Or less hot then right now I hope. At the very least we can jump into water. But I am pretty sure the heat, or at least the humidity is going to break today. It has to or else I am a goner.

Hope you al are holding up better then I am. HAHA!

Sautéed Cumin Ginger Chard with Pickled Onions

July 20, 2019 Colleen Stem
IMG_0386.jpg
IMG_0487.jpg

I am on a major swiss chard kick. Like I am eating it all day, every day. And I don’t know if it the heat or what, but the other night I was laying in bed, super hot mind you, and couldn't keep my mind from racing. All I could think about was swiss chard and how much I love it and all the ways I want to eat it. Yeah, I know, but that is my brain so what can I do? Anyway, I finally fell asleep, and when I did it was dreams of chard and rainbows and all sorts of colorful things that I cannot remember anymore. I do know I woke up hungry. And with a plan for lunch.

I will just tell you now, this chard situation is sooooo good! And besides me being on a major chard kick, I am also on a ginger and cumin kick and an onion kick as well so it just made sense to make something with them all together. Tender and gingery cumin-y chard with crispy pickled onions. Seriously, is your mouth watering yet? I have made it twice in the past few day and I plan on making it a whole bunch more. So freaking good!

If you like chard, or don’t know if you do (you probably do), this is a great way to enjoy it. You will not be disappointed.

Now to the chard.

The stuff. A bunch of chard in a few different colors, a medium onion, a chunk of fresh ginger, cumin seeds, white wine vinegar, and salt and pepper.

IMG_0364.jpg
IMG_0370.jpg

First and the sooner the better, cut onion up into very thin pieces and place into a bowl with vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water. Toss onions around and let sit, for at least 20 minutes, or if you think of it and can make it happen, do it a few hours in advance. . The longer the onions sit in the vinegar the better.

IMG_0380.jpg

Ginger. If you haven’t grated it yet, do that.

IMG_0383.jpg

Remove the stems from the greens of the chard then chop the stems into small pieces.

IMG_0417.jpg
IMG_0428.jpg

Now here we go. First, before anything, place the cumin seeds into the dry skillet and place on medium heat to toast for a couple minutes, Then add in the grated ginger, the chard stems, a pinch of salt, and about 1/2 a cup of water. Stir around. Keep on medium heat and let cook until the chard stems start to become tender. If all the water evaporates out before they are done cooking, add a little more.

IMG_0423.jpg

Now chop up the chard greens.

IMG_0438.jpg
IMG_0449.jpg

Greens go into the skillet with the stems and a little more water. Cook the greens down until all wilted and lovey and delicious.

IMG_0456.jpg

Dump the cooked chard into a bowl or on a place and mix in all the pickled onions. Drizzle with a little of the left over vinegar from the onions.

IMG_0490.jpg

All there is left to do now is add a lot of cracked pepper and grab a fork.

My dreams come true…..Ha.

-C


Sautéed Cumin Ginger Chard with Pickled Onions

Serves 1 as a meal or 3-4 as a side

  • I bunch (around a pound) Swiss chard Any color or a mixture of colors))

  • 1 mediam onion (red or white)

  • about an inch or so fresh ginger (1 tablespoon grated)

  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds

  • 1/3 cup white or red wine vinegar

  • salt and pepper

  • around 1 cup water

Grab the onion and slice it very thinly into rings or half rings. Place in a bowl and add the vinegar plus a pinch of salt and about 1/4 cup of water. Toss around and set aside for at least 20 minutes. If you think of it, do this a few hours before sautéing the chard. The longer the onions sit in the vinegar, the better.

When you are ready to cook it, grab the chard and remove the stems from the greens. Cut the stems into small little pieces. Grab a big skillet and place on medium heat. Add in the cumin seeds and let toast for a few minutes and while that is happening, grate the ginger. Once cumin is toasted, add in the chard stems, the ginger, and about 1/2 cup of water. Keep on medium heat and cook until the stems are slightly tender. Should take 8 or so minutes. If the water completely evaporates before cooked, add in a little more.

And the greens. roll them up together and slice them into thin pieces. Add all the greens to the skillet with tender stems. Add in a splash more water if needed and a pinch of salt. Mix around and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the greens are completely wilted. Remove from heat and dump the chard into a bowl or on a plate. Take the onions, remove from the liquid and mix together with the chard. Drizzle a tiny bit of the left over vinegar from he onions on top. Cover with cracked pepper.

Eat. Hot, room temperature, or cold. It fantastic any way.
