Tales from Skunk Hill

  • Playing in the Mud

    Our latest getting stuck adventure.

  • Mushroom Powder

    Mushroom powder – the splendid source.

  • BBQ Shrimp

    This is more or less Paul Prudhomme’s barbecued shrimp recipe. It is insanely, over-the-top delicious, and the shrimp are just an excuse to eat the sauce by sopping it with bread.

  • Coming Through the Rye

    Soybeans, pushing up through the rye cover crop.

  • Best Pizza Ever

    Sometimes it just all comes together. Tom said when I was leaving the farm, “pick the asparagus.”

  • Some Days

    We started planting corn today…

  • No Cream

    Creamy Cauliflower Soup Plenty for 2, with leftovers for lunch tomorrow 1 head cauliflower 5 tablespoons butter 1 leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise, sliced thin, and washed thoroughly 1 small onion, halved and sliced thin Salt and pepper 4 1/2 – 5 cups water 1/2 teaspoon sherry or white wine…

  • Warm and Dry

    45 degrees today, 20 mph wind blasting rain out of the east. Man, it’s nice to have a warm and dry place to work on days like this, with a nice smooth floor.
