Chocolate cake oh yeah!

To give me energy to dig out of the snow thats been drifting around here, I decided to try the Kings Cupboard Rich and Dreamy Molten Chocolate Cake Mix that I happened to have in my own cupboard.Kings Cupboard products are made in Red Lodge. The mixes Ive tried are very simple ones, so if youre in a hurry or just want to pull something together quickly, they are perfect. (And by the way, they also make chocolate and caramel sauces, which you will want to eat straight out of the jar -- haha!)Alas, not everything is foolproof, as I discovered when I eagerly pulled my molten cakes out of the oven....

The Sweet Smell of Partial Success

I returned fro a three week visit to Florida to welcome a new grandson who was born in St. Augustine on the 22 of May to find that I could gather a handful of really tasty strawberries from my greenhouse. The tomato and pepper plants have thrived and are setting fruit. Best of all, the blend of scents from mint, strawberries and various herbs is heady. On a visit to the Grow House in Denver during the Aquaponics Conference last September I noticed that they set potted plants with holes in the bottom nestled into the flood and drain grow beds. I followed that practice with my various nursery plants...

Preparing for Plants and Fish

After building the system and adding gravel, I purchased a tank cycling kit and a start-up test kit.  Its important to cycle the tank before adding fish, otherwise your fish may be in a lot of distress, and might even die, due to high levels of ammonia.  I wont go into a lot of detail about that, since you can find plenty of information elsewhere, but its an important consideration before you get your fish - especially if you have to travel several hours to get your fishies.The Aquaponic Source has a good overview of the cycling process.  This is also where I purchased my kit for...

Signs of the Livingston market

One of the fun things of visiting a farmers market is looking at the signs. Here are a few I saw today at the Livingston farmers market.As you can see from the last two signs, this market encourages children to participate, which adds to the variety. Trust me, the Geography Quiz is not easy.Livingston Farmers MarketSacajawea Park bandshellJune 3 - September 23Wednesday, 4:30 pm - 7:30...

From Beans to Marshmallow Fluffy Stuff

Theres an amazing recipe floating around on the Internet that has two ingredients, one always a crowd favorite (sugar) and the other not so much (bean juice).I found the version I made on Chocolate-Covered Katie, where you will see a lot of attractive fluffy photos and more explanation than Ill add here.But I do want to give you my experience so youll know what to really expect. Its never like the pictures, is it?Here in Montana we eat a lot of beans. The best are made from scratch, but sometimes the canned variety comes in handy. But what to do with the liquid? You can add it to soup or throw...

The Golden Book of Aquaponics 1

 Introduction: Many years ago, a friend of mine introduced to me the concept of aquaponics. At first, the idea seemed a bit crazy - take care of fish, and let vegetables/fresh produce grow with the help of the nutrients present in the fish tank. Let me be honest with you: I have no green thumb. Im no farmer, and I am certainly no fish expert. And yet, something about aquaponics caught my fancy. It was the idea of true self-sufficiency that made me try it. I imagined myself being able to grow a clean protein source (fish) and a steady source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber (vegetables)....

Essentria IC3

Essentria_IC3 http://www.envincio.com/essentria/product-dload/Essentria_IC3_PIB.pdf This product uses an Octopamine Blocker which is a lot like adrenaline to an insect.  It over excites their nervous system and kills them.  I became interested in this product when I had a severe outbreak of ants in my aquaponic green house.  While it is safe for mammals and fish I would worry about using it around crustaceans.   It is broad spectrum so you must also be careful not to kill beneficial insects like ladybugs and bees.I used this product in my house and green house.  I...

Pancakes two ingredients

This recipe has been making the rounds of the Internet, enjoyed by those who are gluten-free, paleo, and/or interested in trying unusual things.Its one of the easiest things youll ever make from scratch. All you need are 2 bananas and 4 eggs. If you feel you want to add a little poof to the final product, throw in 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.I could stop right there, but Ill add a few tips to save you having to figure it out yourself.First, its best to have very ripe bananas, the brown ones that you might use for banana bread. Ive used kinda green ones, but the riper they are the less lumps youll...

Go figure these clay animals are delightful

When you are at farmers markets be sure to watch for -- and buy from -- young entrepreneurs. They might be selling homemade cookies or homegrown vegetables. Some will be budding artists. All of them will be eager to talk about their products.Eleven-year-old Emma Phipps is a particularly talented artist, who has created a collection of clay figurines that will delight anyone.You can buy individual sculptures, which are about 2 to 3 inches high, but they are available in several groupings. Emmas wildlife set includes a moose, deer, elk, antelope, bear, and, upon request, buffalo. Her country set...

Cranberry salsa huzzah!

While the weather outside has been stunning (warm, golden sunshine; rainbow leaves on cottonwoods; still-green grass), I have been stuck inside working. Since mid-September I have been overloaded with work. When you work for yourself, this is a good thing, but too much of anything can be a burden.I expect to be on a regular schedule just in time for Thanksgiving, which brings me to my latest recipe.Despite the pile of work, I have to eat and have managed to pretty much cook from scratch rather than depend on boxes and frozen prepared foods. I even made some cranberry sauce. The two-year-old bag...

Aquaponics uses fish waste within the system to provide...
