FREE FIRE CIDER FROM PATENT



From Rosemary-
Hi Friends,
It’s winter and definitely time for Trademark Free Fire Cider! This years flu season has been setting records! Make sure to get your Trademark Free Fire Cider brewing!  Its one of the best tonics to keep you healthy during the winter months and to ‘keep the bugs at bay’.   And while you’re at it, try this great recipe for Trademark Free Fire Cider from Mountain Rose and my Fire Cider chutney (see recipes below).  We’re hoping the Pirates won’t try to trademark these recipes as well!
 Unfortunately, the issue surrounding Fire Cider’s trademark continues and the law suit that Shire City served to the ‘Fire Cider Three’ ~ is ongoing.
 We continue to need your support in helping us win this case!  We are waiting to hear our trial date! We do have costs surrounding this! Please consider donating to these costs. You can help support the Free Fire Cider campaign in many ways!
~Donate to the trial costs! 
~Make your own Trademark Free Fire Cider!
~Teach a Trademark Free Fire Cider class!
~Don’t buy pirated herbal products (the brand with the pirate on the label)!
~Ask your local stores not to carry trademarked Fire Cider!
Thankfully,  many stores have opted to stop selling trademarked Fire Cider.  Stores who have continued to sell  the Shire City Brand usually state that they want their costumers to have the freedom of choice, but there’s NO choice when there’s only one brand allowed to be sold.  Thanks to Park Slope Co-op in NYC for supporting the boycott!  TO - Rosemary's FREE FIRE CIDER web.

Fast Turtle, Update







 Regardless of what I say, I am always going to have a wonky presentation here.  I'd thought I would have published the Tasty Little Nightshades Article.  As they say life happens, not to mention life happens to tech and I think that as I write this, I've just completed a boomarang move in hosting services .  Updates for the Quilter's Comfort website for the New Year, are now being published.  Because of the amount of time working with cyberspace, it has prevented work in the real world, such as packaging of my products.  




*Quilter's Comfort is active on Instagram @quilterscomfort, https://instagram.com/quilterscomfort 
 I enjoy the pace of this social media platform and the new "friends" I am making.    I am also on Instagram @patriciaccolemanart, https://instagram.com/patriciaccolemanart.  Visit me there to see a few pictures and Quilter's Comfort's IGTV.

QUILTER’S COMFORT BULKS UP!





QUILTER’S COMFORT BULKS UP 
WITH DISCOUNT CERTIFIED ORGANIC BULK HERBS!

There is a lot going on with Quilter’s Comfort and me.  Bulk herbs at 5% bulk discount every day, MUSTARD CLUB, Dome home building 

Quilter's Comfort's Tulsi Basil - Holy Basil, Tulsi and Rama
Tulsi Basil- Holy Basil Rama
I am in the process of transferring host and if you don’t see the web site at any point, know that it is being migrated to the new host and, you know that if necessary, you can contact me.  I am consolidating resources and considering the sale of my top domains.

Grandma’s Traditions was prepared (finally) to go live and in the middle of a transfer, so I will be sharing what info about the MUSTARD CLUB, DISCOUNT BULK ORGANICS, and more.  A new herb I am very excited about, Tulsi Basil, aka Holy Basil information is featured below.  Send me an email if you would like some Holy Basil and I will send you an invoice.

My weird allergies have sometimes been on a wild rampage.  For years they have played games with my scheduling and some ways of being in the world.  Many times, I am playing catch up.  This time they have bounced me to where a friend is launching a crown funding campaign to raise funds for a house that I won’t be allergically responsive to.  If you are interested in that, I’ve just set up a Blog – Aircrete Builds.  https://aircretebuilds.blogspot.com.

I am looking forward to the web being simple again.  I know its not happening.  Everyone is being forced to upgrade to https so that their webs won’t be labeled unsafe!  To satisfy this external push is costing small businesses a more money and a lot of time if they handle their own web services.  I have learned that each hosting service has its own way of doing things.  Some, in recent experience, attempt to thwart your way and others, seemingly recognizing that this is part of the business and have things set up so that transitioning from them is easy.  For that, I even considered staying with them, but can not build the way I want to.


SALE - Quilter’s Comfort has certified organic Krishna and Rama Holy Basil Herb!
Who knows what beautiful, delicious, sustainable stories we are capable of allowing into being.

Quilter’s Comfort introduces EVERYDAY discount certified organics (5% off retail every day) and Grandma’s Mustard Club members getting 10%-15% (sometimes more!) off all products available to the club, including Quilter’s Comfort, Grandma, other Grandmas and a few Grandpa Makers.

My youngest had asked for Holy Basil some months ago, and I kept putting it on a back list.  Fortunately for me, it finally rose to the Order Now list with two varieties among new items for Quilter’s Comforts Certified Organic Discount Bulk Herbs, Every day discount certified organics.  My first bulk box to arrive contained Krishna and Rama Holy Basil, Mugwort and Plantain.  Feet from who know my foot tea in all parts of the earth were softly singing, YEA!!  Re-acquainting myself with Tulsi (I loved that name from the first), I hope to remember its properties with ease.  I am impressed with this adaptogen normalizing abilities, and hope that they may hold some answers to relieving various stress conditions and relief to my environmental/chemical allergy.  I am every hopeful.  I did not purchase any Vana, wild bush basil (Ocimum gratissimum) and will do so in the future; but make note here Do not use Vana during pregnancy. 

We all live in a nerve pushing world of over stimulation.  Most folks have experienced some life scenarios that pushed major adrenaline buttons, and from that end, early in my journey, tulsi was enlisted as an herbal ally.  It was the beginning of the 1980’s, I lived on a bank off of a real Plum Creek, had goats and chickens, and grew an amazing garden that included Holy Basil, Tulsi!  I lost sight of it for quite a while.  Now my attention has returned thanks to the persistent asking of one of my lovely daughter, and her knowing use of Tulsi because of gifts from her partner’s mother.

Tulsi Basil - Holy Basil Plant, Wikipedia
                                                                  
 HOLY BASIL in general often refers to either, Krishna or Rama (Ocimum tenuiflorum /Ocimum sanctum (tulsi) interchangeably.  It is a member of the mint family and well grounded in the ancient Ayurvedic Medicine system.  Krishna has the highest concentrations of adaptogenic triterpenoic acids which enhance the body's natural response to physical and emotional stress.  Rama has significant amounts as well.  Holy Basil is known for its ability to fight free radicals and promote a general sense of calm and well-being.

Tulsi is a powerful corticosteroid modulator, reducing stress from (adrenal) hormones moving about the body and assists in the normalization of cortisol making it an ideal aid in our hyper-stimulated digital culture.  It lowers stress in loud environments, and has been found to be useful in cases of social anxiety; an aid to those with sleep problems, forgetfulness and exhaustion.  According to the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, holy basil has antidepressant and anti-anxiety properties.


It is considered to be a prophylactic and known as a life-extending substance.  Research is also showing it to be a modifier in glucose regulation; it is anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and an immune system modulator.  This diuretic is considered quite safe to use.  It has had a long history of successfully treating fever.

Holy Basil contains ursolic acid, a carboxylic acid present in a wide variety of plants in the form of a free acid or an aglycone of triterpene saponines. Ursolic acid blocks the inflammatory enzymes cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase, inhibits tumors (through the inhibition of MMP-2 and 9). It has been used to treat photoaged skin because it inhibits the appearance of wrinkles and age spots by restoring the skin’s collagen bundle structures and elasticity.  C. Cardenas, A. R. Quesada, and M. A. Medina, “Effects of ursolic acid on different steps of the angiogenic process,” Consume a cup of tulsi tea daily gives you the benefits of the phytonutrients in Holy basil.  These help make it is an excellent antibiotic, germicidal, fungicidal, and disinfectant agent and effective protector of our body from all sorts of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections curing internal and external disorders of the skin without any side effects.

Holy basil promotes eye health, is anti catarrh, it has been found to aid in normalizing blood pressure, it nourishes the cardiovascular system and inhibits platelet aggregation/ profound antiatherogenic!  Research by N. Singh, P. Verma, B. R. Pandey, M. Bhalla on Therapeutic Potential of Ocimum sanctum in Prevention and Treatment of Cancer and Exposure to Radiation shows it be an Anticancer and antioxidant offering important protection against radiation and chemotherapy poisoning and can heal damages from treatment induced damage.  It is also been used in recent study successfully to treat anxiety disorders.  

Send me an email if you would like some Holy Basil and I will send you an invoice.
Ocimum Basilicum, Tulsi can be used fresh as you do other culinary basils.  Our Southeast Asian native has respectable amounts of vitamin A and C, calcium, zinc, iron and chlorophyll. It enhances metabolism.  When used as a mouth rinse it is beneficial for dental health, helps treat bad breath and because of its powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-infectious properties make it a strong treatment for all gum disease according to J. Kukreja and V. Dodwad in Herbal Mouthwashes—A Gift of Nature.  I read that every Indiana home had this plant because of its usefulness.  I can understand why!

Both Rama and Krishna are pleasant to sip with woodsy, earthy notes; Rama being of a little mellower and cooler flavor.  Quilter’s Comfort’s Holy Basils are certified organic unless wild-crafted or stated locally sourced.  

As we are each unique chemical bodies with different chemical response mechanisms, we always recommended that with any new herb, begin with small doses until you are sure that your body and mind are having a positive experience.  If you have questions, contact an Herbalist, Naturopath, or other wellness provider for advice and of course, it is very important for you to do your own research.  Remember, Holy Basil may modify glucose regulation.  I advocate using your local library and book store collections and reputable resources to know more.  You can find a lot of useful information about health and wellness on the National Institutes of Health’s Website.  Check this out - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4296439/

In Vibrational Medicine Holy Basil is a powerful bio-energetic field harmonizer restoring and balancing the subtle electromagnetic fields generated by the mind and body.  Tulsi is considered to be one of a handful of unique herbs that can balance the chakras (the vibrational energy centers of the body). It is beneficial during times of grief.  This plant is directly associated with Lakshmi, Hindu goddess of wealth, love, and prosperity.  Don’t be surprised if you experience some mental and emotional catharsis after sipping your cup of Tulsi. It is an intense healing plant. It seeks to facilitate clearing out old, stuck energy and emotions that are hindering your health and well-being and restoring systemic (mind, body, spirit) order.   

Resources                                                                                                  If you are a gardener, you might consider growing your own Holy Basil.  It is cultivated as you would any other type of basil and does well in containers.  Wherever you plant your tulsi, it needs at least six hours of sunlight daily.  When you are planting in the ground, puts at least 15 inches between plants. Water as needed, but don’t over water.  Pinching growing points back will allow your plant to bush out.  As leaves mature, pick to encourage more leaf growth.  The herbal qualities and nutritional benefits are best when gathered for drying before  flowering. 

"Tulsi is said to penetrate the deep tissues, dry tissue secretions and normalize kapha and vata. Daily consumption of tulsi is said to prevent disease, promote general health, wellbeing and longevity and assist in dealing with the stresses of daily life. Tulsi is also credited with giving luster to the complexion, sweetness to the voice and fostering beauty, intelligence, stamina and a calm emotional disposition.”  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4296439/

The Mustard Club - Food buying club

COUMERIC PEPPER


Why would your Mom, Kid, Auntie, Sister or Friend want Quilter’s Comfort’s Seasonings in their stocking or included as an add-in gift?

Why would L.A.O. seasonings be at the top of the prepared seasoning list?  First of all, everyone in the family can appreciate the fresh tastes and flavors imparted by these small batch blended certified organic teas or seasonings. But most important for some is that Quilter’s Comfort blends all seasonings without nightshades, an allergen know to cause, for some inflammation.

Some persons with arthritis have been medically advised to exclude nightshades which are found in tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and white potatoes (tobacco is a nightshade).

Some advised to avoid not just the obvious nightshades, but prepared foods that are processed with these foods.  Persons following these suggestions have reported very positive results including reduction and sometimes remission of arthritic swelling and pains.  Some have even felt relief from bursitis, gout, tennis elbow, lower-back paint, headaches, high bloom pressure and similar conditions.

No white potatoes!  No Tomatoes!  Egg Plant or Peppers!  What a kick off the path!  I would, I thought, I could, find a way around this.  I loved these foods!  They were an accent or main ingredient to daily dishes, not to mention, that I had spent decades cultivating heirloom varieties of both peppers and tomatoes! 
Well, I went kicking and screaming, but You don’t have to.  And you can ease away from these foods.  Give your self this easy test to see if and how nightshades influence your body.  Consciously reduce the quantity you eat, even eliminate entire servings.  Read labels on prepackaged items, even shredded cheeses.  Use only corn starch.  Do this for a week.  If you want to, keep a journal; plan on eating a particular meal with nightshades making notes of how you feel.  Then a few days later prepare the exact meal only leaving out the nightshades.  Again, notice your body and write about all your observations, if any.   

I no longer use nightshades nor knowingly consume products that include them in their composition.

I found that most commercial seasoning blends contained nightshades or other artificial substances my body did not like.  I, being a food explorer and lover, and someone who enjoys experiencing a variety of flavors and food traditions had to do something. 

So Quilter’s Comfort developed a line of delicious, small batch blended seasonings reflecting a global palate to of flavor and free of nightshades.  You can enjoy all L.A.O. blends including Curry and Garam Masala and recently made available, Coumeric Pepper.   

Exciting to the mouth, these spice compositions offer great taste experiences that your entire family of eaters, home chefs and friends can enjoy (professional chefs and dieticians too)!

Quilter’s Comfort’s L.A.O. seasonings are available in a sampler packet and glass shaker jar.  As always Bloomington, IN area folks, email request for invoice and  pick up in the Flowing Colors Studio.  Email is always the best way to reach me.

 Thank you,

I look forward to seeing your face soon and I look see you in time.  May we each in our own way spread a little Quilter’s Comfort cheer!

Mini Savory Sourdough Scones



Chanterele Mushroom


A few of you may recall when I began exploring sourdough a few years ago.   I continue to be slightly in thrall of my living yeast!   At this time, my sourdough starter is what I refer to as my pet.  The little beast is not very demanding, when everything is going smoothly, it is on a daily feed routine.  Sometimes things get off schedule and I am away a few days, and upon returning, have to decide if it will forgive me and come back to its bubbly self, or began anew because I did not have the foresight to put it in the refrigerator!  

My current starter, bought into life this spring with the help of red peach tree leaves from Owen County, a little Upland Dragonfly and a spoon of Barrel Chested beer feed with whole wheat, brown rice, buckwheat, a little barley, a bit of rye, kamut, spelt and millet flours.

As you with sourdough starters (PETS) know, every time you feed you have either the opportunity to bake or cast off.   And when you allow for time, can do many amazing things with your sourdough cast off.  The following recipe is something I have been doing again, and again, and planning on doing often!  This is a big batch for me, so I am very glad that they freeze beautifully!

Kale Mini Scones

I made these for first Friday in the Flowing Colors Studio and the recipe was requested! Let me know how the addition of chanterelles works for you or any other mushroom!  Friends from Owen County found gallons (yes!) of Chanterelles these past two to three weeks and she showed up at my home with a good mess for me!)  

This morning, I baked the Chanterelle scones and have a batch of mini-scones in the freezer for  First Friday in August.

I hope you make these tender scones and enjoy eating them as much as I do, and if you like them, post a comment, or give us a  tweet! 

Here is my recipe, the one used on First Friday in July that you asked for - only with the swithch from kale to Chanterelles! 

Chanterele Scones

 Savory Sourdough Scones


Ingredients

2 cups flour – I usually use a combination of certified organic grains
mostly, whole wheat, whole wheat pastry, and a little brown rice
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp tumeric powder
1 tsp Quilter’s Comfort L.A.O. Seasoning
1/2 cup chopped kale or 1 cup sauteed or grilled Chlanterelle mushrooms (ideal if locally wildcrafted)*
½ cup yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup dehydrated beans (pinto or black)
3 fresh sage leaves, minced very well
½ tsp fresh thyme, minced very well
pinch of dried black pepper
½ cup oil
¼ cup yogurt whey
¼ cup yogurt
1 cup sourdough starter

  • In a large bowl combine flours, baking powder, sea salt, sugar, baking soda
Massage in the oil until the mixture resembles bread crumbs
  • Stir in sourdough, vegetables (use veggies you like) and other ingredients.
  • and add yogurt by the tablespoon until you can form a nice ball.
  • Gently knead, with very light touches until it comes together.
  • Roll out gently to about ½ inch (thicker if you like) then cut with a knife into triangles or use a shaped cutter.
  • Place scones on an oiled baking sheet
  • Let them rest 10 minutes under a towel
  • Bake 15 – 20 minutes at 425° (7-9 minutes for mini-scones) - Oven’s are do not have uniform temperatures.  Check your bake often after 10 minutes to prevent an over cooked scone.
 * Bloomington, Indiana area is just now past the harvesting of Chanterelles, it comes fast and some years are very lean and others, are full, very full with this orange fruity fungus.

If you want a crispy top, you might try putting a pan of water into the oven as is done with sourdough loaf baking.



Check out Flowing Colors Studio (http://flowingcolorstudio.com - We have an arts demonstration almost every first Friday.  I am working in the studio most Thursdays). 

Enjoy!

Grandma's Traditions, Yuko's Strawberry Movie, Mustard and More



Once again, my attention is here.

I am cleaning up a portion of my herbal act as it is necessary to maintaining an ease and flow in integrating the past with the present.  

Grandma’s Traditions, a web café where Quilter's Comfort's Grandmother's products are offering mostly hand made, small batch or OOAK products through a safe, secure online store! this shop will also have art cards and prints from HART Rock.





This Pecan Encrusted Brie has gotten quite a few nods for Quilter's Comfort's Wheat Ale Jelly at the Upland!  You can buy beer jelly from me or at Butler's Winery, on College Avenue.




Grandma's Traditions is all about herbal products, arts, prints and cards! The focus is definitely on old time products that are small batch, artisan products and many OOAK.
Onto the scene is Grandma's whole grain mustard and certified organic herbal tonics, all produced with unfiltered vinegar. The tonic vinegar tasted out over a six month period and the tasters refuse to stop their “testing”! Grandma's Traditions connecting voice to a few grandmothers and a few almost forgotten folk skills.


Flowing Colors Studio has developed into a comfortable place to work and be inspired.  It has a gentle buz.  It is a place to visit often.  #600, 112 North Walnut Street.  Stop in and see what we have in our space, we have silk and cotton scarves; botanical dye, pleated forms and shrugs a small selection of teas and seasonings, but more available on line.   Flowing Colors hours are Thursday and Friday 2:00pm to 6:00 pm; open until 8:00pm on first Fridays and Saturdays open 1:00 to 5:00 pm. I am there on Thursdays and by appointment. 

 Finally 



Intro to Braid-in Rub Technique – Made with four strips of fabric.  This example is me repurposing a worn cotton blanket that had belonged to my Grandmother.  This project is also a great way to recycle t-shirts.  Take this class and learn a folk skill that requires very little sewing and get something comfortable to sit or stand upon!
