Today I discuss a few basic eggs recipes, Gratin of Eggs and the tortilla or frittata....both classic comfort food egg dishes.  Anyone adhering to the keto diet is usually cooking with eggs. These recipes are very eggcellent (could not resist) and filling but of course, delicious! Here is a link to the Spanish Tortilla video I did. It's a very easy and wonderful way to make use of eggs. Also, here is what typical European eggs look like....compare those to the eggs you get at your supermarket...you'll be crying too!

WHAT’S COOKING?   Fried Rice   Chicken and Rice Soup   Rigatoni with meat sauce and ricotta cheese   Huge Kudos to Dan from California for making the most delicious and special lasagna I‘ve ever eaten….I’ll always remember that flavor.   Food Industry and Harvest News: Candy Maker to Invest $237 Million To Build Uah Plant To Make Granola Bars “This investment marks a significant milestone in the acceleration of our brand’s growth potential as consumer and retailer demand increase,” Steve Gardiner, CEO of Nature’s Bakery, said in a statement. “This facility joins our existing bakeries to reflect our commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability.” The new plant is 339,000 square feet and in Salt Lake City, they can make almost a billion boxes of fruit bars and granola in this one plant. TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Steak fried rice is so delicious and filled with protein and other healthy ingredients, particularly animal fats in the form of eggs and beef tallow. I like to use tougher (cheaper) cuts of beef that I obtain from small grass-fed operations rather than the factory farm stuff, yuk! Fried rice, is a pretty simple dish and it can be made with just about any protein, or none at all. I start with aromatics in the form of shallots, garlic, chili peppers, ginger, and green onion, then add vegetables like peas, carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, broccoli, greens, brussels sprouts, squash, and also some basic sauces; soy sauce and oyster sauce. I love adding local eggs usually 3 but as many as 5 eggs per recipe to add in protein and substance. I DO NOT load it up with rice, I’d say f I weighed the ingredients, cooked, day-old rice would be 40% of the total weight. I’m not looking for a carbohydrate bomb, just adding some bulk and texture. It’s the principles of Food Storage Feast at work, using cheap ingredients mixed with pantry items, local veg, and local protein to make an inexpensive but flavorful dish. I usually cook rice the day before or the morning of, then place it on a sheet tray uncovered and place it outside in winter, or in the fridge. This helps the rice to dry out slightly which helps it get all “sizzled up” when cooking. Now that rice is accounted for let’s move on to prep the aromatics first, then the vegetables, and then the protein. I keep them all separated. If using red meat be sure to find the grain of the meat, cut long strips with the grain, then tiny pieces against the grain. The next step is to marinate the protein for about 1 hour in soy and oyster sauce, I’d say 3 tbs soy, 2 tbs oyster sauce, and mix well. I start by heating my wok to a medium-high, then I wok-fry the protein in beef tallow or duck fat until it’s starting to color and is cooked through, then add the aromatics and fry another 2 minutes tossing often. Remove and set aside. Add more fat, then the vegetables, and cook stirring often until they soften slightly, not looking for mush here people. Set aside, and back to the wok we go, add more fat and the rice, toss then let it start to crisp up before tossing again. One rice has some color and has been tossed around a bit I make a small well in the bottom, add a pat of butter or two then crack the eggs in, and let them cook for about 2 minutes before mixing it all up to distribute the eggs. Then add the meat and veg and a little more soy and oyster sauce plus a butt load of white pepper and toss well, taste it, if it needs salt add some or more soy. I like to serve with with my fermented pepper mayo, you can use Siracha, or Gochujang plus your favorite mayo ( make your own!!!!) to make this sauce. Drizzle it around the fried rice and dig in! HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Check out this video about growing a massive harvest of potatoes. This guy gets big harvests, he is a conventional grower, not a regenerative grower but I’d imagine most reading this are still growing in conventional ways. He is growing in Florida and most soil is jut sand, pretty poor quality so needs additional amendments. Your soil might be better and a homemade compost could be used. Either way, you can learn from this video. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION: Moccamaster Coffee makers fromTechnivorm. I have owned 6 Mocamasters in my time and I just ordered another one yesterday plus a burr grinder to place in a home I’ll be spending some time in shortly. These machines brew very fast and have a copper boiler that almost instantly brings water to the boil and keeps temps around 200 degrees through the brew cycle. They are handmade in Holland and they are recognized the world over to be the best coffee makers available, I agree! They do sell refurbished models (that’s what I just bought) but you have to call to check on stock levels, a refurb machine can save about $100. CLOSING THOUGHTS: Fried rice can be a healthy and delicious dish that most people love and is also inexpensive. The perfect venue for using up leftover meats and vegetables.

WHAT’S COOKING?   Chili w beans   White bean soup with parmesan broth   Spaghetti bolognese   Pot roast and pot roast soup   Chik Fil A on Sunday-see photos   FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS:  French Fry Demand is way off-Declining restaurant traffic created a potato surplus for one of the world’s largest producers of french fries.   Boise, Idaho-based Lamb Weston Holdings purchased more potatoes than needed based on overly aggressive sales forecasts, President and CEO Tom Werner said on  a second-quarter earnings call Jan. 4. The processor reported a $71 million charge to write off the excess supply.   Demand for french fries has sputtered as consumers dine out less due to rapid inflation. North American sales volumes declined 4% in the quarter, though profits increased in part due to higher French fry prices.   Arizona Joins Florida and Texas in Bid To Ban Lab-Grown Meat From Labeling Itself-Meat The bill seeks to prohibit the labeling of any products as “meat” that are not derived from livestock or poultry and instead were produced in a laboratory from cultured animal cells. This marks the latest pushback from lawmakers against the budding industry, as the traditional meat sector and some consumers raise concerns over its safety.   TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Parmesan broth is a rather unique ingredient, have you ever made it or known anyone else who made it? Yes, exactly, it’s not that common. However, if you hate wasting food and want to make a unique flavoring agent for soups sauces etc, parmesan broth is your new friend. Elevate your cooking with the rich and savory depth of Parmesan broth. Crafted by simmering Parmesan rinds, aromatic vegetables, and herbs in a flavorful broth base, this versatile elixir adds a luxurious touch to a wide range of dishes. Its umami-rich flavor profile complements risottos, soups, and braised dishes, infusing them with a subtle nuttiness and a satisfying savoriness. The golden hue and velvety texture of Parmesan broth make it a delightful base for pasta sauces and grain-based dishes. Whether used as a foundational component or as a finishing touch, Parmesan broth is a simple yet indulgent way to enhance the depth of flavors in your culinary creations. I have used it to make a simple white bean soup, minestrone soup, and butternut squash risotto, and even added it to some chili….crazy I know! HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Pruning apple trees-I suggest you check out Stefan Sebkowiak’s pruning master class if you have trees or are planning to plant some. It’s a wealth of material from a true expert. Find the course here. Proper pruning is an art form and can really make a massive difference in the quantity and quality of your fruit harvests. ECONOMIC NEWS: US added over 1 trillion dollars in just over 1 quarter, the pace of debt accumulation is staggering, and this won’t end well. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION: Combustion inc predictive thermometer, a simple tool that works very well. I have used this for roasts, chicken, and steaks and it is spot on. I highly recommend it. CLOSING THOUGHTS: PArm broth is a simple staple you can make to enrich many items, so if you have parm rinds or can buy them, I suggest you try it!

This fraud is rampant and it’s hard to find authentic olive oil at stores. Domestic olive oil may be a better option but this requires research and cost. I recently watched this YouTube video and it is rather alarming. Join the olive oil club to get authentic oil. (Harvest Eating has no affiliation whatsoever) Check out this video TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Increasing Protein To Energy Ration To Build Muscle And Lose Weight The Protein to Energy (PE) diet, popularized by Ted Naiman, emphasizes the pivotal role of protein in the diet for optimizing body composition and overall health. This approach prioritizes consuming adequate protein to support muscle growth and repair, while minimizing excessive carbohydrate and fat intake. Naiman advocates for a focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods, and emphasizes the satiating effect of protein, which can aid in controlling appetite and promoting fat loss. By balancing protein intake with energy needs, adherents of the PE diet aim to achieve and maintain a lean, strong, and energetic body. Naiman's approach offers a simple yet effective framework for those looking to improve their dietary habits and achieve sustainable wellness. Download the EBOOK For $20 From Dr Naiman: (I AM NOT and affiliate) https://thepediet.gumroad.com/l/thepediet Protein Rich Foods When it comes to seeking inexpensive animal-based protein sources, there's a wide array of options that offer both affordability and nutritional value. Eggs stand out as a versatile and budget-friendly choice, providing an excellent source of high-quality protein. Canned tuna and sardines and salmon are also economical alternatives that are packed with protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, buying whole chickens and using various cooking methods to utilize every part is a cost-effective way to access lean protein. Embracing these inexpensive animal-based protein sources not only supports a balanced diet but also demonstrates practical and frugal meal planning. Chicken breasts and thighs are also excellent protein sources. Counting Macros Made Easy with Apps  Counting macros doesn't have to be a daunting task anymore, thanks to the convenience of macro-counting apps. These user-friendly tools offer a seamless way to track your macronutrient intake, providing a clearer understanding of your dietary needs and goals. With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can effortlessly log your meals and monitor your carbohydrate, protein, and fat consumption. Harnessing the power of these apps allows for better nutritional choices while promoting a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Whether you're aiming for weight loss, muscle gain, or simply striving for a well-rounded diet, incorporating macro-counting apps into your daily routine offers an effective, modern approach to mindful eating. Experience the ease and benefits of tracking macros with these innovative apps, and take proactive steps toward achieving your nutritional objectives. Cottage Cheese: A Protein Powerhouse  Cottage cheese is a versatile and nutritious protein source that has been a dietary staple for centuries. Packed with high-quality protein, it is an excellent option for those looking to increase their protein intake. With about 14 grams of protein in a half-cup serving, cottage cheese provides a substantial amount of this essential nutrient. What sets cottage cheese apart from other protein sources is its completeness, as it contains all the essential amino acids the body needs for muscle maintenance and growth. Additionally, cottage cheese is a rich source of calcium, which plays a vital role in bone health and muscle function. Whether enjoyed on its own, mixed into smoothies, or used as a topping for savory dishes, cottage cheese stands out as a satisfying and nutrient-dense protein option for individuals seeking to support their active lifestyle or increase their protein intake. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Getting to know Willow. Willow can be used for many things including controlling erosion, fixing nitrogen, living fences, propagation, wind barriers, fodder for livestock, making baskets, and privacy. I found Willow for sale here. Willow trees offer a multitude of benefits on a homestead. Their fast growth and resilient nature make them an excellent choice for erosion control, especially along waterways or in areas prone to soil erosion. Additionally, willow trees provide valuable shade, which is crucial for keeping livestock and poultry cool during hot summer months. Their branches can also be used for crafting natural fencing, trellises, and other garden structures. Furthermore, willow leaves and bark have medicinal properties, making them a valuable resource for natural remedies and herbal medicine. With their multiple practical uses, willow trees are a valuable addition to any homestead, providing both functional and sustainable benefits for the land and its inhabitants. ECONOMIC NEWS: Although the administration and puppet media tell us the economy is great, all good….I continue to warn about the stability of banks as they are reliant on FED Loan programs such as  The Bank Term Funding Program to stay afloat. As of 12/20/2023,  the program grew to $131 trillion. With customer deposits growing scarce, U.S. banks are instead relying on emergency funding lines from the Federal Reserve Banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. FHLB bond capital raising, of which the proceeds are used to fund the banks, is up 89 percent year over year through November and looks set to reach $1.1 trillion for 2023. Use of the Bank Term Funding Program, the emergency line put in place by the Fed in March 2023, reached an all-time high last week at $131.3 billion. This does not reflect normal market operations. This is a sign that the bank funding markets aren’t operating properly and that the regulators are stepping in to help prop up the system. people. Banks are in deep trouble, with depositors continuing to flee and the FED standing up the banks. So much for the liabilities side. However, banks face challenges on the asset side as well. Unrealized losses on investment securities, which is the same problem that got SVB into trouble a year ago, continue to rise. U.S. banks reported unrealized losses of over $684 billion in the third quarter, up 22 percent from the second quarter. Of these unrealized losses on securities, $294 billion are categorized as available for sale (AFS), as opposed to held to maturity (HTM), whereby the bank intends to hold the asset and (hopefully) recapture principle at the end of the term. The high amount of AFS suggests that if interest rates remain “higher for longer,” then a portion of these losses will begin to be realized in 2024 as they are sold by the banks. This will pressure profitability and capital levels. Bank Term Funding Program The Bank Term Funding Program (TFFP) serves as a catalyst for arbitrage opportunities within the financial market. This program enables banks to access funding at a significantly lower cost, often tied to the official cash rate, providing a favorable environment for banks to leverage their position. By utilizing the TFFP, banks can secure funding at a lower cost and subsequently invest in higher-yielding assets, thereby capitalizing on the interest rate differential. This strategy can potentially yield profitable returns for the participating banks, effectively creating an arbitrage opportunity within the financial landscape. As banks engage in this practice, they simultaneously manage their liquidity position and optimize their profitability, harnessing the benefits of the TFFP to enhance their financial performance.

TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Reverse sear, what is it, why bother? Reverse sear is a cooking technique that has gained popularity among home cooks and professional chefs alike. Unlike the traditional searing method, where the meat is seared first and then finished in the oven, the reverse sear takes a different approach. It involves slow cooking the meat at a low temperature in the oven until it reaches the desired internal temperature, and then searing it on high heat to create a beautifully caramelized crust. This method allows for even cooking throughout the meat, resulting in a perfectly cooked and tender texture. Moreover, reverse searing also provides more control over the doneness of the meat, making it an ideal technique for thicker cuts such as steaks and roasts. The reverse sear technique has revolutionized the way we cook meat, delivering consistent results and ensuring a memorable dining experience for all. I plan on using this method to cook our Christmas dinner, a reverse-seared tri-tip roast with whipped tallow and chive potatoes, peas, and Bordelaise sauce. Dessert will be Burnt Basque Cheesecake. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Planting an orchard in my mind is one of the most valuable and beneficial investments one can make on the homestead.

Fed officials know that and it is certainly one of the reasons they don’t want to raise rates any higher and hope to bring them down as soon as possible. Over a decade of easy money policies incentivized borrowing to “stimulate” the economy. As a result, governments, individuals, and corporations all borrowed to the hilt. That was all well and good when interest rates were hovering around zero, but when central banks had to hike rates to battle the inevitable price inflation, it pulled the rug out from under the borrow-and-spend economy. Governments around the world are feeling the squeeze as they try to deal with trillions in debt in a rising interest rate environment.

WHAT’S COOKING? I have been researching and cooking with some Russian/Eastern European cuisine this week….   Buckwheast   Stroganoff   Salad Olivier   Pelmeni   Soup x 2   FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS: Impossible Foods To Launch a plant-based hotdog and will give them away in Manhattan soon. Find them here on Instagram The giveaway marks the first taste of Impossible’s newest product, which promises a fresh but familiar take on the classic American hot dog and is set to launch in restaurants and grocery stores next year. The juicy, savory links offer a similar cooking and sensory experience to traditional animal beef hot dogs but are made with high-quality ingredients derived from plants. Impossible Hot Dogs outperform the animal on several key nutritional metrics: they contain 50% less total and saturated fat than a leading brand of animal beef hot dog served in restaurants, in addition to featuring a whopping 12 grams protein (versus 6 grams) and 0 milligrams cholesterol.2 Unlike most animal-based hot dogs, the franks also contain no added or synthetic nitrates or nitrites, instead using only those naturally occurring in cultured celery powder. TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Spanish Basque cheesecake is a heavenly creation that exemplifies the virtues of simplicity and indulgence. With its burnished, caramelized top and velvety, custard-like center, this cheesecake is a testament to the power of minimalism. Unlike its American counterpart, Basque cheesecake requires no crust, allowing the luscious texture and rich flavors to take center stage. Made with just a handful of ingredients - cream cheese, sugar, eggs, cream, and a touch of vanilla - this cheesecake is uncomplicated yet incredibly decadent. Its subtle sweetness and slightly tangy flavor make it an irresistible treat for any dessert lover, while its rustic appearance and imperfect surface add a charming appeal. The virtues of Spanish Basque cheesecake lie in its ability to truly showcase the purity of its ingredients, providing an indulgent experience that is both comforting and elegant. I love this dessert suffice to say, this cheesecake is the bomb! I’d say it’s much less fussy and a bit easier to make as it has no crust, and does not employ the bain marie. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Crop Trials In Europe Spotlight Intercropping to prove this viable strategy for soil health and reduction in inputs. Luguminose is testing fields right now in several countries and so far, results are quite impressive. INTERCROPPING: AN ANCIENT AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUE Intercropping is an ancient agricultural technique where two or more plant species are grown simultaneously in the same field. This method of farming can increase crop yields by up to 20% and improve soil health. The latter can reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers by up to 50%. Intercropping can also increase biodiversity, which increases the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change. Overall, intercropping provides a sustainable and efficient way to produce food, as it increases the productivity of land while reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Gabe Brown of Browns Ranch in Bismark ND has been doing this for years, however his cover crops and intercropping can be more diverse. He will seed a mix of clover with a cash crop of corn, the clover feeds nitrogen to the corn and also covers the soil to protect soil from the sun which prevents evaporation plus the additional roots on the soil stable and can prevent wind erosion, he can harvest the cash crop, then graze cows in the clover and corn resides, further feeding animals and the soil, a win-win for certain. Here is an intercropping webinar…. ECONOMIC NEWS: California is in deep debt at $68 billion and losing $4 billion per month. How long can this go on?  Here is an article detailing this.
