Summer
greetings from Food Fare...
Welcome to Food Fare and the third
edition of our newsletter, Food Fare Notes.
Unlike most people, I
am not a big fan of the summer months because of the heat. I prefer the cool of
autumn and the chill of winter. At the moment I am residing in a western state
that I liken to an arid wasteland, so needless to say I am staying out of the
sun and keeping indoors with central air conditioning.
However, the summer
months do bring about a wonderful array of foodstuffs. I love watermelon,
crisp cucumbers sliced and soaked in vinegar and pepper, fresh tomatoes from the
garden with plenty of salt, endless salads with copious greens and light
dressings, and barbequed foods from the deck-bound grill such as paprika
chicken, vegetable and meat shish kebobs, salmon,
Potatoes Labrecque,
grilled corn-on-the-cob, fresh tortillas filled with vegetables and cheese, and
so much more.
Thanks for stopping by Food Fare,
and enjoy the summer season....

Herbs & Spices
 Herbs
and spices are extraordinarily expensive when purchased at a grocery store or
specialty shop. Some people take stabs at growing their own, while others are
lucky enough to produce vast quantities in home gardens.
At Food Fare, we have put together
a selection of spice blends that can easily be prepared at home.
Herb & Spice Recipe Blends >
Here's a sample:
Garlic
Pepper
8 tsp. garlic powder
4 1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 TBS parsley flakes
Combine ingredients and
store in a sealable container in a dry place. Note: Recipe can be
doubled or tripled.
In addition, we have a page of herb
and spice varieties with definitions, uses and suggested substitutions.

Food Fare Recipes
Some of the recipes
to be found at Food Fare come from the culinary articles, but there is a large
number that come from Shenanchie, her friends and family, and other sources. The
collection has grown over many years and presents an enticing display of various
comfort foods, as well as long-held traditional dishes and a simply marvelous
array of surprising little food gems.
Many of the recipes also have extra
bits of information, such as origin and locality, as well as links to more about
specific foods in the dishes. We had some fun creating the Halloween recipes,
adding "spooky" animated graphics with black backgrounds.
