Our friends the Waisman’s have a farm just outside of Madison where they raise a few animals and a bunch of children and asparagus. I went to visit to see their new piglets – next year’s pork on the hoof – and to bring David a book<\/a>, and also to share some recipe testing results with them: farm cakes<\/a>, and also this recipe for Kaffe Kekse<\/a> (coffee biscuits) that Molly found. I had Google translate it to English, and tried it out. It’s a kind of thicker cookie than I usually use for a sandwich cookie, but I like the chewiness. I’m still tinkering with it, I think less cardamom, but it’s definitely a keeper.<\/p>\n

As I make stuff, I’m trying to move my recipes to my new & improved site, sometimes re-photographing, like Farm Cakes on old DebsLunch<\/a>, and New & Improved<\/a>. Or jam cookies<\/a>, one of the first recipes I put online, and the new version<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In exchange, David generously gave me a dozen eggs and asparagus. He showed me where to snap off the ones I wanted, and after I’d collected\u00a0 about two dozen spears, he topped off my pile with another big handful. I bet I came home with at least a pound & a half, that I roasted<\/a> with some carrots that’d been lurking in the vegetable drawer.<\/p>\n

Here are the pigs, and David, oh and Axel the goat,\u00a0 and the farm cakes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
