Quilt! What are the chances of finding a “Q” out there?

You may remember a couple of weeks ago we posted about the vintage (okay, old) metal letters Mike has been finding by the railroad tracks behind our building. Well, naturally, it is now time to play the Mindsalt “Word of the Day” game. Every day this week we’ll be posting a different word, brought to you in the form of long discarded scraps of metal. Some may require more imagination than others…enjoy!

We have written about Woodland Farm in the past, here, when we helped harvest ramps. Now, mindsalt has brought Woodland Farm to the web.

Woodland Farm is located in Goshen, Kentucky, just outside of Louisville. The 1,000 acre property is filled with bison, pigs, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens and, somewhat unexpectedly, a large collection of contemporary art.

You can check the weather at the farm (the information is gathered from the Kentucky Mesonet weather station at the farm),  or read about the livestock and crops. Be sure to check out the ever-growing gallery of images from the farm. You can also read the blog, which is updated by people who live and work on the farm.

I could go on, or you could just visit the website and see for yourself.

Have you ever found yourself wondering what lunchtime is like here at mindsalt? Probably not. But this meal was too full of fried cookie goodness not to share.

Luckily for us, Spinelli’s, a local pizzeria, offers Fried Oreos on their menu. What better way to wash down your pizza than with a few deep fried cookies? Mike was the first to dig in and he gave them two thumbs up!

We are currently working on a new project for edible Louisville, a publication that promotes the use of local foods and connects readers with the local chefs, growers, and retailers who provide those foods.

In working on this project, we came across this recipe for S’mores Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. A s’more inside of a chocolate chip cookie? Needless to say, we were intrigued. So, naturally, I went home and whipped up a batch so we could do a little taste test here at the office.

As you can see from the pictures, it takes a fairly large amount of cookie dough to surround a s’more. The result is both monstrous and delicious. We might have to try this next…
