A Girl and Her Pig: Recipes and Stories
By April Bloomfield
Ecco - 2012
A motto in my family is that everything goes better with pancetta -- and this recipe was no exception. Its a lovely nuanced version of Brussels, and the final dash of lemon juice set them off perfectly. Have you ever seen kids fight over second helpings of Brussels Sprouts? If not, then try this recipe.
By the way, we had to go hiking and pick Juniper berries from our local trees. Juniperous osteosperma was consumed by our local first nation people, and so I felt comfortable harvesting, though I think I should have done so in the fall.

Porridge : page 27
A modest twist on oatmeal, this recipe combines old-fashioned oats and steel cut. The cook is instructed to cook in a mix of whole milk and water. There is a generous addition of salt, and a bit of sugar.
The author was aiming for a porridge that delivers salty taste first, followed by a kiss of sweetness, and in this she succeeded. The two types of oats result in a nice texture - steel cut with a bit of bite, and a very smooth background as the old-fashioned cook to the point of disintegration.
I don't stock whole milk, and used 2/3 skim, 1/3 water.
The recipe says serves four, this was four generous servings.
