My partner in crime and cohort in the kitchen is AKA Fuzz, and he is a wizard of all things fermented, smoked, grilled, and breakfast related. Myself, I tend to enjoy preserving things, baking breads, and keeping our sweet tooth satisfied-somehow I've also managed to get rice down to a science. Thus our duties could be so divided, though most times, along with friends, brothers and neighbors, we work in the kitchen (and outside the kitchen) to make our meals together. In fact, I would say we spend most our free time eating, cooking or contemplating what we will be eating/cooking in the future. We love food, we love fun, and we mostly like the two in combination. In this blog I intend to document our adventures together making things from scratch. We enjoy fermenting things, canning and preserving things, growing our own stuff, foraging for locally sourced goods we can't or don't raise or cultivate, and turning all of it into something else we can eat, drink and share with people we love. Part of this endeavor is an attempt to seek out new goods we have yet to discover in the bountiful Finger Lakes that we call home, also to celebrate the local products we have enjoyed for years. Join us as we kneed, siphon, stir, smoke, cure, boil, seal, bottle and of course, taste test. We plan to attempt the regular and the odd, the classic and the new fangled ,and certainly would enjoy input, advice, or encouragement from fellow epicureans and other "from scratch" folks... we know there are plenty of you out there.
