Bramboracky (Savory Potato Pancakes)

By

Though my little one looked at these and declared, " I love hash browns!" these are actually Bramboracky Czech savory potato pancakes. Traditionally seasoned with marjoram, I had a bunch of fresh oregano and used that instead. Riley, on the other hand, doesn't care for latkes, so I figured that if I had him make the bramboracky, he would eat them. Good bet. It worked like a charm. He ate two! 
  • 4 large potatoes
  • freshly ground pink Himalaya salt and freshly ground flower pepper, to taste
  • 1 T fresh oregano, destemmed and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 t paprika
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 T milk
  • 3 T white whole wheat flour
  • butter and oil for frying

Directions

Coarsely grate the potatoes, squeezing out as much liquid as you can. Transfer the shredded potatoes to a mixing bowl. Stir in seasonings.


Beat the eggs with the milk. Add the egg mixture to the potatoes and stir well to combine.


Heat the butter and oil in a skillet over medium heat; the oil should be about 1/4-inch deep. Form handfuls of the mixture into balls, flattening them slightly. Fry the pancake until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
