Mr. Spork's Hands

A place to park my nuggets of video madness about food, gardening, architecture, and Canadian life in general. I try to keep the editing light so you can see how my 'real' kitchen works and laugh at my ridiculous hacking disasters. I hope you learn, laugh, and enjoy the Hands. Cheers!

I'm working on old-school cake donuts too. And by working I mean I just ate two as they came out of the oven. Apple cinnamon seemed right for that autumn harvest vibe.

After some tricky times during Covid like we all had, I've finally reset a lot of the derailments that kept me from YT. I'm working on getting back here in earnest. A few different things on the bench at the moment (energy bites and beet harvest recipes pictured) but lots more in the pipeline. Stay tuned Spork fans.

Had a spot of bother up here thanks to Fiona. Two weeks without power, water, cell, or internet. All good now, just a heap of new logs in the yard and more cleanup on the schedule.

If soup is the way to use up leftovers in winter, cold pasta salad does the same thing in the hottest summer months. Tortellini, rotini, sweet onion, chiles, peas, basil, feta, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, radish, cherry tomatoes, homemade garlic mayo... the list goes on. You get the idea. Remember to run just-boiled pasta under cold water to stop the cooking then mix up your many delights of choice.

And the first cut of the asparagus patch this year yielded some monsters. Likely headed into some risotto or atop some creamy polenta. https://youtu.be/NEkMSnT4LUY

Mixed veg stir fry with sesame noodles on the bench now that I'm a bit more functional.

Hi folks! Sorry that pesky 'life stuff' got in the way for a month but I'm home again now. Here's last week's Waldorf Salad which was all I could manage before passing out for 20 hours catchup sleep. Not worthy of a video but recipe details for the unfamiliar found here northfarthing.ca/spork/index.php/2022/04/22/great-…

Normal humans wake up early on the weekend to make waffles and coffee. Whackos like me wake up and make a batch of habanero salsa. Not sure why the urge hit me at 6am but I suspect tacos in my near future.

I also made another batch of goat cheese yesterday https://youtu.be/bTnyxQU0lDo and had planned to make something with it but somehow it all managed to "disappear" around afternoon tea time. You can see the culling of the buttercrunch lettuce seedlings didn't go to waste. Microgreens for the win.

Remember the TWO blue pumpkin seeds as backup in the seed starting video? https://youtu.be/BBUHFfFvjno Well they both decided to pop up. Here's day 15 and as you can see the root growth is exactly what you want thanks to the loose starting mix. I'm filming part three today so expect two more episodes from the grow closet shortly.
