Da’Bomb Cookies
Some of the recipes the Farmer’s Wife makes came from a cookbook, but didn’t stay that way. You see, she tweaks them. Adds a little of this. Switches out a little of that. And in the end, she has a whole new thing. And some recipes she out-right steals. “Why that’s a very good cookie,” she might say, taking a bite. “Yes, it is,” answers her friend, her neighbor, her co-worker. “I’ve been making them just this way for years.” The Farmer’s Wife smiles her sweetest and asks, by chance, if they will give her the recipe.

Farm Kitchen Stuffed Mushrooms
Now, some recipes the Farmer’s Wife has are new. She’s seen an especially ripe vegetable or a certain stinky cheese and her mind fills with all they can become.
