My dear and local friend Christina submitted this tip for the Weekly Kitchen Tip series:
I thought of a kitchen tip that I use quite a lot that perhaps others have not thought of. I heat milk for pudding or yogurt or ….

Coming Up…
January 28, 2009 By 6 Comments
I’ve got some exciting things to share with you. I can’t do it yet as I’m not ready. The first item coming up will be sharing my tweaked recipe, based on the 5-minute a day artisan bread, for delicious sprouted spelt bread. I cannot believe how easy bread can be. I step back from it [...]
Use Your Pasta Pot for Beans and Stock, Too
January 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
A pasta pot is useful for cooking more than pasta. No matter what you cook, draining is simple — just pull out the insert over the sink. Voila! Rinsing can be done right in the pasta insert also. [...]
Sprouting Beans: Lentils, Mung Beans, and Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)
January 22, 2009 By 41 Comments
Beans are among the easiest of foods to sprout. Actually, sprouting is very easy in general, but here I will discuss beans. Soak 1-1/3 cups of beans overnight in pure water. Use a 1/2 gallon mason jar or other similarly-sized container. I like using 1/2 gallon mason jars with sprout screens best. But for the garbanzo beans, I’ve been using a stainless steel pot. I don’t know why. Well, yes I do. I’ve run out of jars. So a pot works. [...]
Keeping Stored and Finished Kombucha Air-Tight
January 21, 2009 By 11 Comments
I keep 7 gallons of Kombucha going at all times (see my recipe). There are either 3 jars that have a younger batch in them and 4 jars with an older batch going, or vice versa. Does that make sense? This keeps us in constant supply. But it always means that when a batch is done, I have 3 or 4 gallons to somehow store so they stay just right in sweetness, kick and taste. In other words, I don’t want the Kombucha to go sour. [...]

What’s Cooking?

As for me and my house (we will serve the Lord), we are still experimenting with sprouted grains. I’m not sure whether to keep trying with the artisan bread in 5 minutes. I think I’ve gotten it as good as it can get with sprouted kamut, spelt and/or emmer. The sprouted spelt works the best [...]

Here’s the first Weekly Kitchen Tip at gnowfglins.com. I am looking forward to receiving and sharing your tips in the future. I will use one of my own to kick-start this series. I’m a weakling. When the kids got big enough that I no longer carried any of them around on my hip, my arms [...]
