I live with my Mom and Dad and their weimaraner "Spencer". My Dad has multi infarct dementia

We all come from Vermont and we grew up during the 60's and 70's. One of our favorite things is cooking and so we try and stay sane by writing about cooking. I have an old cookbook from Rutland VT called "Out of Vermont Kitchens that we are going to try and cook from and see what the food tastes like.

The cookbook has some prepared foods in some of the recipes. But we will try and adapt them perhaps to modern cusine.

We also try other recipes but will dive into our Vermont roots as often as we can.

Marion Ballou Smith
The daughter of Orris and Margaret (Mageen) Ballou, Marion Ballou Smith grew up in Rutland, Vermont, graduated from Mount Holyoke College (1914), and taught botany and mathematics. In 1927 she married Esme A.C. Smith, a businessman in Rutland. Active in local business and civic affairs, Smith was the co-compiler, with Alice Chaffee Bowker and Ruth Sutton, of a fund-raising cookbook entitled Out of Vermont Kitchens, published in 1939, to benefit the Trinity Mission of Trinity Church in Rutland, and the Women's Service League of St. Paul's Church in Burlington, Vermont.

Sticky Rice Creations

Okay here is my entry into the sticky rice sculptor contest. That dirty little monkey , I'm just shocked, shocked at what he did!!

I used my recipe for Thai sticky rice that uses the heavy black glutinous rice. I have to soak it for 24 hours, then cook it in a slow cookerwith some coconut cream for another 12 hours, then blend it with eggs and coconut and bake it for 45 minutes or until set. Its very rich and is fun to mold into shapes.

Tomorrow I'll see if I can make a statue of my weimaraner Spencer using sticky rice.

This is a distinguished bunny who is about to deliver a great speech. He's so distinguished!
