The world of crocheted food is a fascinating blend of craft, art, and whimsical creativity. Here's a glimpse into its history and current trends:

Historical Context:

Amigurumi's Influence:

• A significant influence on crocheted food is the Japanese art of amigurumi, which involves crocheting or knitting small, stuffed yarn creatures. While not exclusively food-related, amigurumi's rise in popularity has greatly contributed to the creation of crocheted food items. 

• Amigurumi's roots trace back to Japan, with its modern form gaining prominence in the 20th century, particularly from the 1970s onwards with the "kawaii" (cuteness) culture.

Traditional Crochet:

• Crochet itself has a long history, with various applications in household items and decorative crafts. Crocheted items like pot holders and aprons have been used in kitchens for practical purposes. 

• Therefore, the skill to create 3 dimensional objects with crochet, has been around for a long time.

Modern Trends:

Art and Expression:

Crocheted food has evolved beyond simple crafts into a form of artistic expression. Artists use yarn to create incredibly realistic and imaginative food sculptures.

This art form is used in displays and art installations

Whimsical Decor:

• Crocheted food items are popular as decorative pieces, adding a touch of whimsy to homes and cafes.

• They are also used as play food for children, providing a safe and durable alternative to plastic toys.

Social Media and Online Communities:

• The internet and social media platforms have played a significant role in the growth of crocheted food.

• Online communities share patterns, tutorials, and inspiration, fostering creativity and collaboration.

• Kate Jenkins:
  • One artist who is well-known for crocheted food art is Kate Jenkins. Her work has been seen in publications such as Smithsonian Magazine. She creates very realistic-looking crocheted food. Take a look here!

Key Takeaways:

• Crocheted food draws on the long history of crochet and the modern popularity of amigurumi.
• It has evolved into a versatile art form, encompassing both realistic representations and imaginative creations.
• The internet has facilitated its growth and popularity, connecting creators and enthusiasts worldwide.

I have this new food product for me that I am going to review soon. It is called Gary's Quick Steak. I love trying packaged food products that are new to me. You may have tried this Sirloin Beef Steak and I would like to know what you think about it. It is a small amount of meat product but I think making a cooking video will work great here. The package comes with a seasoning packet and it is in a shrinkwrapped plastic wrapper.

Have you tried Gary's Quick Steak?

This meat product is only 4 ounces and is enough for one person. It is supposed to be a very quick meal to prepare. I think it would be good with a salad or maybe green beans. I am excited to see how this cooks up and the final result.

Stay posted and I will share my video as soon as I can!

A Few Questions For You:

Thoughts On Pork Chop Casserole:

When I was a child and my mom would make pork chops I was excited to have meat to eat and I immediately thought about bacon for some reason. When I began to eat the pork chops I always found them dry. I did enjoy how my mom would season them but as a child, they were not moist enough for me. I have heard many people complain about pork chops not being juicy enough for them. A benefit of a pork chop casserole is the cream of mushroom soup gives the pork chops enough water to make them more juicy. They are seasoned well with salt, pepper, and the onion soup mix to give them a superb flavor. I enjoy pork chops cooked this way and I know you will like them too if you never tried them in a casserole.

Pork Chop Casserole Recipe - (Casseroles)

Ingredients:

• 6-8 pork chops
• 1 package dry onion soup mix
• 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10 3/4 ounces, undiluted)
• 1 tablespoon onion (diced)
• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Brown the pork chops on both sides. Place them in a 13x9 pan. Layer the remaining ingredients on top of the pork chops in the order given. Cover the pan with foil or a metal lid. Bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours. 

Keep on cooking!

(photo credit:) Meme Of The Day on Facebook

If you look at this food meme, you will notice it is dated 2009. Going back 15 years store prices are much different from today. When I go to the store and purchase the same things I usually do the total price I pay is at least 50 dollars more today than a year ago.

This funny food meme makes two points. First, prices are obviously different today than 15 years ago. Second, older people store more food in the freezer and forget about it. My grandparents were born in the 1930s and I have personally experienced this meme for myself when I visited their house and was told to get something from the freezer. My grandparents were post-depression era kids and knew what it was like to have very little food in the house to eat. As I get older my freezer is more full. I freeze a lot of bread.

What do you mostly keep in your freezer? I am interested in your thoughts on this subject.

Keep on cooking!

My Thoughts For Today:

Weber Grill

Pork Steaks

I feel I am a little late in getting the grill out and cooking great-tasting meats but I had a craving to make the time. I wanted to cook pork steaks. To me, the taste of charcoal-grilled pork steak is very nostalgic. I have great memories of my family cooking pork steaks. It was a great summertime for the family. The cookout would usually include canned pork and beans, BBQ chips, potato salad along green beans.

I have mentioned in previous posts I love using Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning and I use that seasoning on my steaks and black pepper as well. The taste is terrific and I would suggest you try it. You will want to lightly sprinkle the creole seasoning as it can be very salty. The combination is wonderful.

As always, Keep on cooking!

My Thoughts On Tennessee Pride Hash Brown Casserole:

In 1994 I moved to West Tennessee in the County of Dyer Tennessee. It is a beautiful part of the country. I was used to living in Southwest Missouri where we enjoy the Ozark Mountains and hills. West Tennessee is much different. In Missouri, there are plenty of cattle and hay fields. In West Tennessee, I found lots of land without a fence. It was adorned with cotton and soybean. More flat than hills, the cotton glowed with white buds at harvest time of the year. Such a beautiful place. The people there are even more friendly than I was accustomed to in my part of Missouri where everyone waves and says "Howdy!" upon greeting. Tennessee food is exciting. I experienced red-eye gravy and coleslaw on my barbeque sandwiches in Tennessee. Of course, there is Tennessee Pride Casserole. When you try this recipe you will be filled with pride as you receive compliments on its taste. Make plans to share this experience with your friends and family. They will thank you kindly for it!

Extra Information For You:

Hash browns are the best! I enjoy eating my hash browns with ketchup! I put salt and pepper on my hash browns as well. I like to eat hash browns for breakfast and dinner. Not in the same day of course. The hash brown was originally called "hashed brown potatoes" and the dish has a very interesting history. Maria Parloa shared the recipe in 1887. Even though this recipe is titled "Tennessee Pride" it is said that hash browns were first originated in Minnesota. You can read more about the history of hash browns by visiting the Tennesee State Library And Archives.

A Question Or Two I Must Ask You:

Would you please share a memory you have of hash browns? Maybe you remember your parents, relative, or friend cooking hash browns for you? I would love to hear your story. Let me know in this post. Also, I am wondering if you missed my last recipe? It is called Texas Hash Easy Recipe. It is not Tennessee hash browns but it is Texas Hash! This recipe has pork in it as you have read but hash browns alone are great!

My Personal Thoughts For Today:

I usually post or try to post more than once every week but I have been extremely busy this past week with life. I am sure you can relate. I work full-time as you might know, and I am in the middle of several projects. While working on my wood pellet stove installation, I am doing it for myself, and I am also spending time with my youngest daughter. No doubt homesteading is in my mind or at least the subject of homesteading. I would at least like to be more efficient in my living as far as saving money on heating my home.

Recently, I went through some of my quarters and found a Homestead quarter.

Homestead Quarter - Front Side - 2015

I have a one-gallon glass jug in which I keep my change in and I was pleasantly surprised to find this homestead quarter. Honestly, I didn't even know this type of quarter existed. I am not proud to admit that. I should stay more informed on things like this. Am I being too hard on myself? I'm not for sure. I assume most people already know about this quarter. I looked up the price on these quarters and they are worth more than their minted value. Collectors will pay a good amount for these and apparently, there are quarters with a mistake that are valued in the thousands of dollars.

Homestead Quarter - Back Side - 2015

Do you have any Homestead quarters? If you do, you might find it interesting to find the value of your quarters. If you are lucky, you might have one that is very valuable to a collector and if you wanted to sell it, you might have enough money to start your very own homestead.

You can learn more about the Homestead National Monument of America Quarter by visiting the United States Mint website.

I would like to finish up this post by sharing I am excited to know my oldest daughter and her family are moving back to my area. I am excited to see them and that means I will get to see my two granddaughters. I enjoy getting to see them when I can. They are so cute and remind me of when my own daughters were little. I still consider myself to be somewhat young but I am a fairly new grandparent. I am 50 years old so in reality, that is not too young. I try to stay young at heart and my grandchildren make me feel that way. What a joy!

Thanks for reading this recipe post!
