236 Cannon Street

PART III – There is a lot going on at 236 Cannon Street

by Bill

1 shared location. 1 synergistic goal. 2 different approaches. Okay, so how does it all work together? The entire second floor of 236 Cannon Street consists of the Eastern Shore Food Lab, our 501(c)(3) non-profit that houses all of our research, outreach and education and is fully funded on philanthropy. That means research into our ancestral …

PART II – Moving into 236 Cannon and the Creation of Modern Stone Age Kitchen

by Bill

Rise was the perfect distraction for our family while we navigated the early stages of COVID.  We baked, and baked and baked.  We developed new recipes and dialed in our processes.  Christina and Brianna would roll sourdough crackers in the basement kitchen late into the night while listening to Elton John’s Rocketman Soundtrack. I would …

A New Year’s Resolution & Boston Cream Donuts

by Bill

My quintessential “cheat” food before I went on a diet has always been the Boston Cream Donut. Whether, in preparation for a “New Year, New You” on New Year’s Eve, or even on random days when I was unhappy with my weight, it always meant a quick drive to Dunkin Donuts to purchase three Boston …

Coming Full Circle with Nourishing Traditions

by Bill

Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and Diet Dictocrats has been my go-to kitchen resource for many years.  Although it was published in 1995, I didn’t get my hands on a copy until about 5 years later.  And, actually, that was a good thing.   Are you ready to question contemporary nutritional thought? In 1995, …

Yes, We Eat Pasta And Here’s How You Can Too!

by Bill

I am so excited about this meal that I just have to share.  Believe it or not it is a pasta dish.  And, yes, the pasta is made from wheat! Oh, the blasphemy!  But, hold on…read further.  WHY HAVE CARBS BECOME THE NEW “F” WORD? Carbs have become taboo in most dietary discussions and almost …

I Have A Confession To Make

by Christina

I have never made bread. Not one stinking loaf and I just left my job as an administrator in education to help my family launch a food business (right now focused on sourdough bread but we’ll have other products soon – just wait). Crazy, right?  For years, I have been on the other side of …

Rise and Shine!

by Christina

It is 4:32am and I am perched on a stool in the basement attempting to type my first official blog as a wanna-a-be, self-employed entrepreneur. I can hear Brianna around the corner talking to her friend in Ireland (it’s 9:32am there so all good) as she mixes focaccia to make 48 loaves for tomorrow’s deliveries. …

The Entire Family Tried Keto and Here’s What Happened

by Christina

It was actually our oldest daughter, Brianna, who suggested it.  She wanted to see what it felt like and Christina and I agreed because we wanted to experience what it would be like for our entire family to do it.  Billy and Alyssa were less enthused.  The trial was for two weeks – long enough …

It Almost Feels Like We Are Living in a Movie and We All Are Not Quite Sure What to Do.

by Bill

If you are like me you are not really sure how you feel about what is going on at the moment.  Everything is strange right now, and it all happened so quickly.  It was only last week we were watching news coverage on the epidemic taking place in distant countries.  But, it didn’t take long …

We’ve Been a Little Busy…

by Bill

HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL, BODY AND SOUL NOURISHING THANKSGIVING! We just finished a whirlwind week of family, friends, teaching and learning, sharing, and amazing food – which explains our absence from social media over the past week or so. This picture kind of explains how we are feeling after the non-stop adventures too! We …

It’s Not Cheating

by Bill

There are many approaches to prevent cheating on your diet during the holidays.  And, most of them are destined for failure because they are too orthorexic. Even if whatever approach to your diet makes sense for you biologically, a black and white approach ignores something that is equally as important to us modern humans…our cultural …

You Never Get a Second Chance to Make a First Impression

by Bill

I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPENING… After spending months dreaming of taking it to the next level I was actually going to see her outside of work and school.  We had met months earlier on the first day of the spring semester at The College of New Jersey and, perhaps serendipitously, it also happened …

A-maize-ing Tortillas

by Bill

A STAPLE IN OUR HOUSE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TACO NIGHT. HOWEVER, I GOT A PIT IN MY STOMACH EVERY TIME I READ THE BACK OF THE PRE-PACKAGED TORTILLAS AT THE GROCERY STORE.  I knew that all these ingredients were not necessary in a real tortilla and didn’t want to feed that crap to my kids. …

Art, Craft, and Design; Business Studies; Classical Studies; French; Home Economics; Materials Technology (Wood); Spanish; German; Music; and Technical Graphics – this was the list of subject choices Billy and Brianna got to select from when the entered The High School (yes, the name of their school was literally The High School) this year.  It was a no-brainer …

Finding Connections in Kenya . . . . in the Most Unlikely Way

by Christina

This year we have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams with the opportunity to see the world. What we planned to simply be a year living abroad in Ireland while Bill wrote his food book and the kids became immersed in Irish schools and Irish sports turned into a world-wide adventure.  Instead – using Ireland …

Earth, Ash & Blood: The Unlikely Components of a Nutritious Diet (Part 2)

by Bill

Part 2: A Very Unique Combination The primary purpose of the trip to Kenya was to learn more about Mursik, however, I was also interested in experiencing the nomadic pastoralist practice of bloodletting to supplement diet made up almost exclusively of dairy.  Milk, especially raw milk, is an incredibly nutritious food.  And, nomadic pastoralists groups …

Earth, Ash & Blood: The Unlikely Components of a Nutrient Dense Diet (Part 1)

by Bill

I have always been fascinated by the incredibly strange things that people have learned to eat through time in order to extract the maximum amount of nutrition from even the most desolate of environments.   And, it has been rewarding to repeatedly attempt to shed myself of my inherent cultural biases that defines “normalcy” in …

Making the Most of your Animal: What Nose to Tail Can Really Be

by Bill

THE YAK I am still in awe that one, single, well-placed strike with a sledge hammer had the power to drop the massive beast instantly to its knees…unconscious.  It was the last time the animal moved.  Certainly, it was not the first time this Mongolian herder had killed a yak, and his experience showed.  As …

Warning: When You Make an Offer for Us to Visit, We’ll Take You Up On It!

by Christina

It started over a year ago, when Bill met Konrad on a plane from the States to Copenhagen.  Who would have guessed that a foodie conversation about bone broth would have propelled us to visit Konrad in Germany this December, but guess what?  When he told Bill to stop in if we are ever in …

Never Thought We Would be a Fake News Story . . .

by Christina

Yep! That’s how it went . . . from a reputable magazine to FAKE NEWS! In the April 2017 issue of The Atlantic, Richard Schiffman detailed Bill’s unique approach to teaching in a piece he titled, “Professor Caveman.” I’ve got to admit that I definitely giggled when I saw that title and thought, “Man! That’s …

Whoa We’re Half Way There! Whoa! Livin’ on a Prayer

by Christina

When the DJ asked me what song I wanted to end my surprise 40th birthday party with, I hesitated for just a moment and then this Jersey girl instantly yelled, “Living on a Prayer!” As we were dancing and singing at the top of our lungs, Brianna turned to me and said, “Mom – we …

From Flintknapping to Ravioli Creations

by Christina

For some father and sons, quality time means watching Sunday football games. For others, it might be heading to the park to throw the ball around. Where we live on the eastern shore of Maryland, typical father/son bonding moments occur in goose pits and tree stands in the wee hours of the morning or just …

A Half Day Every Wednesday??

by Christina

Our school schedule & routine in Ireland is quite different from the States! Brianna and Billy leave the house at 8:10am, walk about 500m and board the LUAS (a public transportation train). They are on the LUAS for about seven minutes then hop off at Milltown where a High School bus is waiting to drive …
