 I am Rachel Tayse, keeper of the Hounds in the Kitchen. In my Columbus Ohio urban homestead, I garden, cook, and eat local sustainable foods. Read About the Hounds for more about the characters in my kitchen. I hope to see you soon at an Event.

Archive for the ‘Family’ CategoryThe snow is melting and spring is around the corner. Columbus has an abundance of interesting local food and gardening events again this month. Enjoy! Hounds in the Kitchen events Kids Cook – Thursdays from 11:15am-12pm at Sprout Soup. This month we’ll be going bananas on the 4th, serving up maple syrup on the 11th, and cooking [...] Here ye, here ye, today don’t delay! It’s the wonderful underful birth triple play. Years past in march on the second day, three babes were born, some of the best I say. In nineteen oh four it was Theodor Geisel, a rhymer of words, cat hat green eggs sisal, a war correspondent, fun loving bambisel, memorialized now in bronze at an easel. Michael [...] It’s sugaring time! I dream about having my own sugar bush someday and extracting maple syrup every late winter. Last year I shared my experience with how maple syrup is produced. Fortunately there are lots of open house events around Columbus where Ohioans can witness sugaring without making a season long commitment doing it yourself.
When I was twelve, my family hosted a Japanese girl named Megumi for one month during the summer through the Ohio 4-H International Program. Hosting challenged us all to communicate differently, show off our community, and open our hearts to new relationships.

May you [...] A week ago, my grandmother sent a thick envelope. Inside were brochures about the Great Backyard Bird Count. Grandma Truus knows I love bird watching and that at four years old Lil is a fairly proficient birder too. She asked us if we would participate. Of course! Not only do I usually do what my elders [...] BD6CTNZJQEB8 I surprised a friend the other day by revealing that I am a multi-project person. My head is constantly filled with plans. It drives Alex bonkers sometimes and I have been accused of not being spontaneous, but that’s just who I am. I can’t help it – I like having things to look forward to. Here [...] Edible gardening in an art and science that my family loves. It doesn’t take much time, but at some moments gardening is a dirty, back breaking hobby. So why do we share the love of growing things? Gardening connects us to nature. Growing flowers, fruits, and vegetables allows us to appreciate beautiful bees, the miracle [...]
The goose was cooked and enjoyed. Devie watched all proceedings to make sure no bit was wasted. Look for a post later this week related to the Rose Bowl about how to cook duck and goose. After snuggles and stories, Lil went to bed. Lil’s big present this year is an indoor swing. We installed [...]  |
