Introduction: Finishing Wild Rice. We start with green wild rice which was harvested in northern Minnesota on the Leech Lake Indian reservation. Step 1: Air Dry. First you spread the green rice out on a tarp on the garage floor for about a week and moving it around with a rake to just let what moisture you can dry off. Step 2: Preparing to Parch. You first dig a long shallow trench with a lip one side. Then you lay a pipe across the trench. You make the trench deep enough so you can build a small fire underneath it and lay number three washtubs across from the little side of the trench to the pipe. This process dries the remaining moisture out of the wild rice Step 3: The Fire. This is getting the fire going what you're really looking for is a bed of calls with small amount of flame. Step 4: Parching. These are the tools you use to parch wild rice Step 5: We Are Beginning to Parch. As you stand there in the smoke of the fire because it always follows you. You start slowly turning the rice with the canoe paddle so it doesn't burn in the washtub. You then pick out the large pieces of broken rice stock and throw that stuff in the fire. Then you slowly increase your speed the dryer the rice gets the faster you have to move your paddle saw the rice again does not burn. This process turns The rice from green to a golden brown or golden color that's when you know that it's done on the fire. Step 6: Cooling the Rice Off. I just made a frame of 2 x 4 and then tact screening onto it. This sets up on a set of sawhorses so the air can rotate from the bottom up and cool it off a little bit before the thrashing process Step 7: Thrashing. This step is how you remove the hull from the rice so you can get to the finished product. This is a homemade thrashing machine with a 35 gallon drum on it and an electric motor to turn a shaft that has three beater bars on it. You put The rice in that you just finished parching and run it for about 15 minutes and then check up to see how it's doing.  Step 8: Fanning Mill. This is a turn-of-the-century handcrank Fanning mill. You pour the thrashed rice into the top and turn the crank which makes the rice go down through several screen starting with a large screen and getting smaller in size. There is a fan that is in the bottom of the machine that blows the rice chaff off and comes out as finished product.  Step 9: About the Rice. We've been doing this process as long as I can remember and I'm 60. The difference between store-bought and Hand harvested wild rice is we leave a little moisture in the grain of rice itself. This lets you pop it in hot oil kind a like popcorn. It is also excellent in soupsand hot dishes.

Introduction: One Lemon Lemonade . This is the delicious simple lemonade you can make with limited ingredients almost anywhere.I love making this in a hot day when I don't have time to make a whole batch of lemonade. I hope you like it as much as I do! Step 1: . Space for this very limited ingredients 1 cup of ice One lemon a cup ( I used a old jar) 2-3 tablespoons spoons of sugar to taste depending on how sour you like your lemonade  Step 2: . First put your cup of ice in your jar. Cut your lemon in half and squeeze out the juice. uf you need to use a handheld juicer, feel free to use one.  Make sure you get all the juice for maximum flavor. And for a little extra I cut off a little slice of the lemon. Step 3: . Then poor one to 1 -1 1/2 cups of water into your jar. Then I add 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar. This makes the lemonade kind of sour so if you like sweet lemonade I  would suggest adding more sugar. Finally add the lemon slice to the side of your jar for decoration. And you're done! Enjoy!
Introduction: Savory Raw Vegan Coleslaw.

You will need: 		1/2 green cabbage
		Leek
		Carrots
		Parsley
		Vinegar
		Cold-pressed olive oil
		Salt

Add one tablespoon each of vinegar and olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. 
This recipe is best made ahead of time and allowed to sit. The ingredients stay crunchy for a long time, and sitting allows the flavors to mingle well.
This coleslaw is also delicious in sandwiches.
Introduction: Grandma's Crispy Tofu.

Begin by heating the oil in a frying pan, cast iron works particularly well.   Then begin the tofu preparation: Step One:  Pat dry the tofu with a paper towel and cut into 1" squares (half the tofu block lengthwise first, then cut crossways into even parts) and coat the tofu slices with salt. Step Two:  Whisk the egg in a bowl. Step Three:  Gently coat all sides of the tofu in corn starch, make sure to cover the entire piece, carefully shaking the cornstarch helps. Step Four:  Coat the tofu in the egg mixture and set down (be gentle) in pan, cook on medium-low heat until brown on both sides. Hint:  Blot the tofu on a paper towel when browned if using a smaller pan. Step 3: The Sauce. After lifting the tofu pieces out of the pan, do NOT drain the oil and keep the burner on. Then begin the sauce: Step One:  Slice the scallion in 2" diagonals and drop into the same pan and let it char. Step Two:  Add the soy sauce, sugar, and water. Step Three:  Let it simmer for 1 minute and remove from heat. Serve stacked with scallion sauce drizzled on top, or family style on a large plate with scallion sauce in a ramekin on the side.

Introduction: Orange-Spiced Tea Eggs. 
This Asian-inspired treat not only makes a stunning presentation... they're easy to make and taste fantastic.
Warning: Delicious and highly addictive!
  Step 1: Ingredients You'll Need:. 6 Hard-boiled Eggs
For Marinade:
6 Orange-spiced Tea Bags (or any flavor of Black Tea.)
1/4 Cup Balsamic or Black Vinegar
1/4 Cup Dark Brown Sugar (Packed)
2 T Salt or 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
4 Cups Water
3 Drops Black Food Coloring (Optional) Step 2: Hard-boiling Your Eggs.. Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring water to a rapid boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently for 14 minutes. 
Using a slotted spoon,  immediately place boiled eggs into a cold water or ice water bath for 3 minutes.
Remove from bath and set aside.  Step 3: Create Your Orange-spiced Tea Marinade. Combine all of the listed Marinade ingredients in a 2 quart Sauce pan.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool for 20 minutes or so. Step 4: Tap-crack Your Hard-boiled Eggs.. Using a teaspoon, use the rounded bottom to gently (but firmly) tap around the shell of each egg, creating a fine network of cracks
Avoid tapping the large end of the egg where the air pocket is, as this will cause the tea to flood in and compromise the interesting marble pattern you want to create. It won't hurt anything if you do, but the visual effect will be diminished.
DO NOT peel the eggs. Step 5: Adding Eggs to Your Orange-spiced Marinade.. I repeat: Do not peel the eggs! ;-)
Pour your warm marinade (with the tea bags) into a resealable 1 quart container or a ziplock Baggie.
Gently add your eggs and seal your container. If using a baggie, remove as much air as possible. A straw works great!
Allow the eggs to marinate at room temperature for an hour. Step 6: Refrigerate and Wait.... 
Place the container in your refrigerator and be patient. 
Let the Eggs soak for at least 7 days to give the marinade a chance to work it's magic.
Peel, serve and enjoy... bet you can't eat just one!
Hint for easy-peasy peeling:  Roll the egg gently between your palms then start at the large end.
Introduction: Tetris Sandwiches. For young geeklings, you can make a fun Tetris puzzle out of a sandwich in a few easy steps. Step 1: Step 1: Make a Sandwich. I would recommend a sandwich made of solid bits (Ham, Turkey, Cheese) rather than PB&J. Step 2: Step 2: Score the Sandwich. Get a bread knife, and cut a series of shallow lines in the top of the bread. Make three equidistant horizontal lines by bisecting the bread, then bisecting the two remaining halves. Then, do the same thing with vertical lines (one in the center, then one on either side). Step 3: Step 3: Cut Out Your Pieces. Keep in mind what the Tetris pieces look like as you cut the sandwiches. The T, the S, the L, and the long bar. You won't be able to make the puzzle out of all of them, but you can get most in a single sandwich. Step 4: Step 4: Wrap the Results. Turn over the sandwich pieces to avoid showing the scoring, then place the results on a plate so that they are no longer in place. Then cover the plate with plastic wrap to keep the pieces in place. Now it's ready to put in your geeklet's lunchbag.Make sure to tell them to play with their food!

Introduction: Avocado Grilled Cheese Sandwich. 
          Eating grilled cheese sandwiches always reminds me of my childhood, so they have become a comfort food in my kitchen.  I have also recently developed a love for avocados, so I thought I would combine the two. I did and it made for the best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had in my life.  	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	  Step 1: Ingredients.

Introduction: 5-minute Chocolate Balls. Quick and delicious Rum Balls recipe (with or without rum!). These tasty treats whip up in no time, and are completely addictive. Whether you need a chocolate fix or a quick gift, these are sure to please. Step 1: Ingredients. A food processor will help you cut through this recipe in a cool five minutes or less!
		1 1/4 cups (120 grams) vanilla wafer cookies, shortbread, or graham crackers (about 35 Nilla brand wafers)
		1/2 cup (55 grams) powdered (confectioners) sugar
		2 tablespoons (12 grams) cocoa powder (Dutch processed or regular unsweetened cocoa powder)
		2 tablespoons light corn syrup
		1/4 cup (60 ml) COLD* liquid: juice; rum; water + rum extract (or your favorite); or whatever else you can imagine -- I did one batch with OJ and one with rum
		1 1/2 cups (140 grams) pecans (hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds can be used - and toasting them beforehand makes them awesome! but will probably result in longer than 5 minutes)
		1/2 cup (55 grams) topping - crushed nuts, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, flaked coconut, go crazy
Makes about 2 dozen decent-sized chocolate balls.*the liquid being cold will help the balling process and reduce or even eliminate the need to refrigerate before shaping Step 2: Mix It Up!. 
		Process the cookies and pecans(opt) in the food processor until finely ground.
		Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder and process until combined.
		Add corn syrup and liquid and mix well. Yes, you can do this in the processor too! Blend until it creates one massive lump on the side of the bowl. Step 3: Form Balls. 
		Grease your hands (trust me on this one) and shape mixture into 1 inch (2.54 cm) balls.
		Roll the finished balls in the toppings of your choice. (I used powdered sugar and crushed nuts)If the balls are too sticky for you to work with, you can stick 'em in the freezer for a couple minutes or in the fridge for a few hours. I'm guessing that would work. . . I've never had the patience to find out! Step 4: Try to Share!. If you don't eat them all yourself in one sitting, try to remember to bring them in to share with your colleagues/peers the next day.  These are perfect little gifts to give too.  A sandwich baggie with a colorful ribbon even makes it look like you put a lot of thought into it!

Introduction: Easy Fermented Garlic. Raw garlic is very good for you, but not everyone can handle its heat. Fermenting garlic will temper its heat quite a bit while giving you some healthy bacteria (probiotics) at the same time. Fermenting garlic is very easy and takes very little time! Look, I'll show you. Step 1: Ingredients and Materials. You don't need much.  • garlic: I used 6 heads in all. Get enough to mostly fill your jar.  • brine: Mix 4 cups of water with 4 1/2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt. It'll dissolve in time. There. I said you didn't need much! Step 2: Prep and Cut Garlic...and a Trick!. Cut the stem ends off of each head of garlic. And now for the trick! To remove the skins, just throw the garlic heads into a metal pot. Seriously, you can throw them in. If you are a conscientious objector, place them gently into a metal pot. Violently shake the pot for 5-10 seconds and voila! The garlic has been de-skinned.Now slice each clove of garlic in half, long-ways. Put them in your jar. I counted them as I went and found that I got almost exactly 10 cloves of garlic per head. A little bonus trivia for you. Step 3: Add Brine . Pour the brine into your jar until it easily covers the garlic. If you have any rebellious floating cloves, push them down with a chopstick or something else made of wood or plastic. I have heard that metal can negatively react with your fermentation, so you may as well play it safe and leave your metal in the drawer. Step 4: Wait Several Weeks. Now just be patient. Fermentation takes at the very minimum several days to a week, but the longer you wait, the better your results and the more numerous and varied your good bacteria. For fermented garlic, the general consensus is to wait 3 to 4 weeks for full maturity.Optional adjustment: Within a week, those rebellious floating cloves from the previous step may keep trying to rise to the surface. These surface cloves have the potential of going bad, so you need to put something on the top to keep the garlic submerged. One option is to fill a baggie with water (or brine, to be safe in case it opens) and lay it on the top to push the garlic down. Another option is some other sort of weight like a sanitized stone or glass. In my case, I started with the first option but then moved the garlic to a bigger jar and pushed the garlic down with a silicon coffee mug topper. Step 5: Eat When Ready!. Try the garlic every week or so. When it is to your liking, put it in the refrigerator. It will continue to ferment, but at a much slower pace. It will last in the fridge for a very long time, unless you love it and can't stop eating it!Eat the garlic as is, or chop it up and put it in your salads, dips, or other cold dishes. You can put it in cooked dishes if you want, but you'll lose all that probiotic goodness if you do. For a similar type of dish, try the Instructable I made on Easy Fermented Onions. Enjoy, and happy fermenting!
Introduction: Iced Toddy. hey, this is my first instructable so hope ya like it, ive had to use stock photos but that shouldnt matter too much. I came up with this idea because I love whiskey but hot toddys were a bit too hot in the summer months, its simple but effective. small disclaimer: it dont look pretty but it tastes great :-) Step 1: Gather Your Supplies. you will need:1. a shot glass of lemon juice2. 2 shots of whiskey3. 2 teaspoons of sugar4. 3 teaspoons of instant lemon tea5. a tiny amout of cinnamon and nuttmeg (optional)6. a pint glass full of iceto decorate use a couple mint leaves and a slice of lemon Step 2: Make It. put all the ingredients (minus the mint leaves and the slice of lemon) into a blender. blend it until it looks like a slushy.add the slice of lemon and the mint leaves just to make it feel a bit more fancy, I normally skip that part :-) Step 3: Drink Up and Enjoy. to be honest the measurements I used are set to my taste, you might wanna tweak it a lil until you find the right balance for you
Introduction: Decadent Chocolate Truffle Dessert Shells. The Decadent Chocolate Truffle Dessert Shells are perfect for any occasion, from weddings to casual gatherings. They are fairly simple and quick to make. This step-by-step will show you how to make the miniature chocolate shell and give you a few ideas of what to place inside of it. Step 1: Ingredients. The first thing you need to do is get all your equipment together.
1. Chocolate is a must. (You can use your favorite brand of chocolate. I prefer buying the 10 lb bars. I break them down into smaller pieces and melt them. )
2. You will need a mold to make the chocolate shell. (Michael's has some great molds to choose from.)
3. Truffle mixtures are what I used to fill the shells with. You can use other ingredients, such as frosting or peanut butter, etc ...
*One truffle mixture I used was made with an equal amount of chocolate and whipping cream. Another truffle mixture I used in the example, was made with cream cheese, white chocolate and whipping cream.
*These truffle mixtures stay a creamy substance. You can also add flavors to the truffle mixtures you make to spice things up.
4. Lastly, you will need something to decorate the top of your truffle cup with. I used fruits, nuts and chocolate shavings in the following examples. Step 2: Making the Chocolate Shell. Now that you have your tools and ingredients you can get started. 
To make the chocolate truffle shell, you will need your melted chocolate and your shell mold. 
1. Fill the whole cup of the mold with your melted chocolate. 
2. Immediately after, dump the chocolate out of the mold. Allow it to drip out for a few seconds. 
3. Wipe off the excess chocolate that is on the top of the mold.
4. Once the mold has been wiped off, place the mold upside down on a piece of wax or parchment paper. 
5. Allow the mold to sit that way until the chocolate has completely hardened. Step 3: Examples. Once your chocolate shells have hardened, they should pop right out of the mold.
From there, you can make it into your own creation. 
I made three examples so you would have some ideas:
1. Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cup
2. German Chocolate Cup
3. Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cup Step 4: Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cup. The Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Cup was made with a milk chocolate truffle shell. 
I filled the shell with the white chocolate cheesecake truffle mixture. 
I then sliced a strawberry and added it to the top.
You can make this particular dessert cup the same way with raspberries, blueberries or another fruit of your choice. Step 5: German Chocolate Cup. The German Chocolate Cup was made with a dark chocolate truffle shell. 
I used the chocolate truffle mixture in the center. 
Chopped pecans and shredded coconut were then sprinkled across the top. Step 6: Peanut Butter Chocolate Swirl Cup. The peanut butter chocolate swirl cup was made with a milk chocolate truffle shell.
The inside was made with the chocolate truffle mixture and peanut butter swirled together.
The top was decorated with milk chocolate shavings.
Now that you have some ideas, go out there and have fun making these beautiful, delicate and delicious desserts.
Introduction: Split an Apple With One Finger!. Ever wanted to split an apple with someone, but wanted to do it in an impressive way? Probably not, but this is still a pretty cool way to split an apple. Make sure you tell a big story about how you were trained as a samurai in the ancient art of fingerjitsu when you split it too!  Step 1: Prep the Apple. For this step you will need to wash the apple and your hands. Just run the apple under water for a bit and dry it off. Next, firmly grip the stem and twist until it comes out. Step 2: Break the Apple. This is the step where the magic happens. After you've told a big story, it's time to show off your moves. Place your index finger on the apple as shown. Make a fist with your other hand. Line up your hands as shown on the apple, and repeatedly hammer your finger into the apple with your fist. To properly do this, you must imagine yourself forcefully pushing your finger through the apple. The key is to not hit your finger many times quickly, but to use a few, strong blows to break the apple in half as shown in the last step. Depending on your apple, this cut may be clean, or not, as it was in my case. With a good apple, you should see that the seed chamber is split almost perfectly in half. Step 3: Serve the Apple. Now that you have shown how skilled you are, it is ok to get a knife out to cut the apple. First cut the halves into quarters, then cut out the core as shown. You can then cut the quarters into slices of your preferred thickness, and serve to your friends in a bowl (or eat them yourself.) Thank you for learning how to Split an apple with one finger! I hope you enjoy! Please favorite and leave a comment about my instructable. I am open to suggestions as to how I can improve. Thank you for your support!
