Turf houses are the coolest. Literally. For centuries, this style was used in parts of Iceland and Norway due to difficult climates as it offered superior insulation, keeping houses dry and warm. Why are we not…

For whatever reason I decided to rediscover some Betty Crocker dinner recipes that we used to make before we moved to the DC area fifteen years ago. We aren’t really that in to meat, but there is a round steak recipe that we used to like. So when we went to the grocery store we picked up the necessary ingredients that included not only the round steak, but also potatoes, French onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas and carrots. My husband usually does all of the cooking, but I wanted to give this a go and was actually excited to make something. I was thinking that we must have liked it back then and should still like it now. So I cut up the round steak in exact 1 inch squares, peeled and quartered the potatoes, drained the peas and carrots and started building the four evenly divided stacks of ingredients on to heavy duty aluminum foil. The tightly closed packages were placed in the oven for an hour. It smelled really good! When we removed the ready made meals from the oven it looked really good, but the meat wasn’t tender. I think there was too much meat and it cold have stayed in the oven longer. After we picked at the rest of the food for dinner, my husband took the remaining meat from the other two packages, put it in tomato sauce and simmered it on the burner for another 45 minutes. The meat was then tender. So in the end it did taste like we remembered it, but the meat wasn’t cooked long enough. We’ll see how the leftovers taste. My husband likes to add a lot of additional flavors to any meal without using recipes - which is why he does all of the cooking. I need to follow the recipe verbatim. I was disappointed it didn’t turn out like it was supposed to. My motivation to cook was crushed.

In between rounds of Sushi Go Round (Thanks Allergy Mom! It's my new game addiction) I found myself in the mood for some comfort food. My cravings turned to something I've wanted to make for awhile, pagach. Pagach is Slovak bread filled with cabbage or sometimes potatoes. I always loved it slathered in butter when my mom and grandma Helen would make it. I had my parents dig out the recipe from my grandmother's church cookbook a while back only to find out that the recipe calls for ten cups of flour!! My dad also found this recipe online for a smaller batch and with a few alterations I made my first batch on my own. I was happy with the result. Though my batch was a tad thinner it could have easily passed for one made by my mom or grandma. Here's what I did: Pagach (Slovak Cabbage Bread) Makes 2 large flat breads (approximately 11x14 inches) Adapted from GoToCentralEurope.com and The Sacred Heart League Cookbook from Livonia, Michigan. Dough: 3 1/2 cups flour (I used white spelt, but I plan on using all-purpose next time) 1 teaspoon salt 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 pkg) dry yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1 tablespoon of sugar 2/3 cup scalded milk, cooled to lukewarm (I used warmed soy milk) 1 egg 1/3 butter, melted (I used Earth Balance margarine) Filling: 1 medium to large head of cabbage, chopped 1 medium onion, diced 4-6 tablespoons of butter (again EB for me*) salt and pepper *Optional: 1/4 teaspoon of granulated garlic (I found that when I'm using Earth Balance instead of margarine a tiny bit of dry garlic makes cooked cabbage taste more like it was cooked in butter. I have no idea why this works but I do it all the time.) Additional butter (or EB) -Stir the yeast in the water and a pinch of sugar and let sit for a few minutes to proof. -Add flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook and stir together to distribute. -Beat the egg into the warm milk along with the melted butter and remaining sugar. Add the wet ingredients to the flour and salt and mix until a smooth dough forms. -Place the dough in a oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest until doubled. -When doubled, punch the dough and give it a few quick kneads before recovering and allowing it to double again. -Make the cabbage filling by cooking down the cabbage, onion and butter (garlic powder optional) with salt and pepper to taste. You want the cabbage and onion to get soft and golden brown. I cook it over medium-low heat and stir frequently. Allow it to cool. -When the dough has doubled a second time divide it into quarters. Take one quarter and roll it out on parchment with a little flour until it is ~1/2 inch thick. Spread half of the cabbage mixture on top. Roll out a second quarter to match and lay it on top of the cabbage. Pinch the edges closed, cover with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for half an hour. Repeat with the remaining quarters of dough. -Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. -Roll out the sandwiched dough and cabbage as thin as you like (1/2 to 3/4 inch.) Brush with butter (or EB) and prick the top with a fork. Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Cut into pieces and serve with more butter (or EB.) -Realize that cabbage and starch is a wonderfully comforting thing. These places have a potato filling if you are interested in trying it that way: GoToCentralEurope.com The Joy of Soup: Pagach I'm adding this to Yeastspotting which is a wonderful weekly collection of recipes that use yeast.

The Bwa G'Naw, known to many as Karen, and to others as Kariang, are one of the largest hill tribes in Southeast Asia. Thai and Burmese hill tribes can be traced back to the 12th century, originating from Tibet. The Karen tribe is the largest of around twenty hill tribes whose total population today numbers estimates range from 7.5 million to 14 million people across The Union of Myanmar (Burma), Laos and Thailand. In Thailand, around 400,000 Karen live at between 800m and 1800m up in the mountainous and densely forested regions of Mae Hong Son, due west of Chiang Mai. Most villages are remote from Thai civilisation. Houses are made of teak or bamboo and usually constructed on stilts to provide space and shelter for livestock. The Karen villagers have few possessions and little if any furniture, usually sleeping on floor mats, cooking on open fires, and drawing washing and drinking water from a nearby river. They are predominatly farmers of agricultural produce for their own use and are often referred to as 'The farmers of the forest'. Some speak the Karen language, whilst others speak Thai. What makes Karen hill tribe silver so special? Being between 99.5% and 99.9% pure silver, Karen silver has a higher silver content than Sterling silver. It's just the solder used to fuse the silver components together that makes up the last fractions of a percent. Consequently, it has a weight, bright satin colour, and feel, all of its own. Every piece is handmade and individual. The hand-hammered and chased details are wonderful and you can actually see evidence of each piece having been formed by the hands of a Karen craftsmen.
