recipe of the day: pickled vegetables Are your veggies in the fridge starting to not look so nice? Help reduce your trips to the grocery store and your food wastage by cutting them up and pickling them. pickled veggies are a great side dish or garnish to brighten up a dish. This is a basic pickling liquid, you can add in a wide variety of your favorite fresh herbs, whole spices, and seeds and play with many different combinations. Recipe: yields approx. 2 L ... 5-6 cups of veggies 8-10 garlic cloves 4 bay leaves 1/2 tsp peppercorns 1/2 an onion, sliced (optional) 2 cups vinegar (apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, red wine) 6 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp salt 2 sprigs of herb prepare all your veggies by cutting, slicing or leaving whole. Bring water, vinegar, salt and sugar to a boil in a small pot. Pack your mason jars with veggies, and divide the garlic and whole spices between the jars. Layer the veggies in the jars with any fresh herbs you decide to include leaving about an inch at the top of the jar. Using a funnel or a large measuring cup to carefully pour the hot liquid into the jars, making sure to submerge all the veggies. Cover and let sit on the counter to cool, refrigerate after an hour. The veggies should sit for about 6-8 hours at least but they are much better after a few days. You can keep them in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Long term storage: If you are planning to can your veggies for long-term storage, bring a large pot of water to a boil and sterilize the jars and lids. Place the pickling liquid in saucepan over high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Pour the brine over the veggies in each jar almost to the top. Remove air bubbles by gently tapping the jars against the counter a few times. Top off with more pickling liquid if necessary, then tighten the lids. Place the filled jars in a boiling pot of water to can them. When the water comes back to a boil, boil the filled jars for 5 minutes then immediately remove, making sure the lids pop down. Enjoy!

Recipe of the day: Yeast Bread This recipe is a great recipe for any novice baker, or someone looking to practice their skills. It pairs well with any plate of meats and cheeses and your favorite wine. It is also a great project to teach kids self sufficiency and reduce your grocery store trips during these unprecedented times. ... 1 tbsp active dry yeast 1 tbsp sugar 1 tbsp salt 2 cups warm water 6 cups All-Purpose Flour flour for dusting INSTRUCTIONS Making the dough: Mix the yeast, sugar, and water in a large bowl. Let the yeast start to bubble up in a warm area, approximately 5 minutes. mix the salt into the flour, and gradually add the flour one cup at a time to the liquid. Mix thoroughly with your hands until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Turn the dough onto a floured surface to knead, and scrape the remaining dough out of the bowl. Kneading dough: - Fold the far edge of the dough back onto itself towards you. -- Press into the dough with the heels of your hands and push away. - After each push, rotate the dough 90. - Repeat for 5 minutes *sprinkle a small amount of flour only to prevent sticking. Let the dough rest while you clean up, then grease a bowl with a bit of oil or baking spray. Knead the dough again for 3 minutes. Letting It Rise: Return the dough to the bowl and turn it over to grease the top. Cover with a damp towel and keep warm for about 2 hours until the dough doubles in size. Shape it: Punch down the dough and briefly knead out remaining air bubbles. Cut the dough in half and shape into classic loaves. Place the loaves on a parchment lined cookie sheet and let the loaves rest again for 5 minutes. Bake it: Lightly score the tops of the loaves 3 or more times diagonally and brush them with cold water. Place a roasting pan on the bottom rack of the oven and fill it an inch deep with boiling water. Bake at 400F for 35 to 45 minutes, until the loaves are golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. If the grocery stores are all out of yeast due to shoppers panic buying, another fun alternative would be a quick bread like Irish soda bread. Soda bread leavens with baking soda and an acid like buttermilk, if you dont have buttermilk, any vinegar and milk (or a milk substitute) would also work. Enjoy!

Such an uncertain time we are in... it’s hard to know what to believe at times, or what to expect in the future through all of the chaos. Jobs, mortgages, education etc... it’s an immense unknown. One thing stands for certain: It will be a great show of how we stand together.... Don’t let fear breed fear but rather let kindness kill the fear and calm the masses. Be kind. When shopping, take ONLY what you need to give others the opportunity to do the same. Take only what you need, to give grocers and suppliers the ability to keep up. Create a flow to ease the pandemonium. Look out for your neighbors. You can still lend a helping hand while practicing social distancing. Understand the gamble you take (with someone else’s life) when you fail to protect those who are vulnerable by selfishly filling your own needs and not minimizing exposure. This virus will indeed spread... it’s only a matter of time, and most of us will be minimally affected. The issue at hand, is how quickly it attacks the immunodeficient, elderly & vulnerable and the hardship that it will place on the health system. It’s not about YOU and your excellent immune system. Be kind. Be intentional. Take this unorthodox gift to exhale from the accepted craziness we call everyday life. Take this as an opportunity to breathe and regroup. Take this time to reacquaint yourself with YOURSELF and those important relationships in your life. Enjoy your children. Get back to, and recognize the important things in life. Have & show gratitude. Be still for awhile. It will all work itself out. Don’t allow fear to distract you from the basic principle that people are generally good & kind. Also, please thank your healthcare professionals, first responders, grocers, truck drivers, and anyone else out on the front lines who are the glue holding it together for all of us. Give them your gratitude. It will go a long way. Please copy, paste & share this post. #bethosepeople -Nicole Kriesel Oliver, British Columbia Canada
