    Memes That Make You Giggle

    It seems like for dairy cows they would have to go by the cows’ internal clock. I never thought of that before. This year I decided to do that with my dachshunds. The one is 15 years old and losing weight. So I decided to feed her when she signals that she’s hungry, and maybe I can gradually...

    Thoughts on planting on driveway cut?

    I love that they regraded that slope! Still a slope, but not as steep. Love that mat under it too.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Other store had boneless chicken breasts on sale for an even better price, and 99 cent pork shoulder butt. Yesterday: Today: Since I have my canner out and I’m on kind of a roll here, I think I should get back to those dried beans I bought last winter.

    Food prices June 2021

    When sugar prices go up, the concern isn’t so much that our 4 pound bag at the store will be expensive, it’s that every food product in the store will become more expensive. Because food manufacturers put sugar in everything!! So yeah, being stocked up on food in general is good. This inflation...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I have a neighbor with a garden who generously allows me to pretty much pick whatever I want, and I will take a thing or two when I can use them. And then at the end of the season when they are tired of picking, freezing and canning, they tell me to just glean whatever is left. So this is the...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Goodwills around here want 1.99 for quarts and pints. I just look at them and put them back and think “Man, are you crazy?” Different Goodwills price things differently though so occasionally I find one with better prices.

    What's for dinner?

    Chicken thighs were on sale so I finally made this! It was very good, even if my oven over cooked it. I made sure to brown them really well like you said. But the marinade got pretty black in the bottom of the pan, so maybe I overdid that part. Then after 20 minutes when I checked, the meat...

    What's for dinner?

    Well I have bookmarked it, so next time I get chicken thighs on sale, we shall see how my oven handles it. We don’t have a dedicated air fryer, but our countertop convection oven has an air fryer button. (Actually, it has a lot of buttons and they are all pretty much the same except for...

    What's for dinner?

    So last night’s dinner was supposed to be grilled ribeye steak, that I had thawed in the fridge. But when I took it out to season it, I discovered that I had in fact thawed a London broil! 🫢 Quick change of plans and we had baked potatoes and salad last night, and tonight will be marinated and...

    What's for dinner?

    Did it really get done in 20 minutes in the oven, or did it need to bake longer?

    What's for dinner?

    Tonight I made a simple pasta Alfredo recipe that turned out pretty bland. 😞 So I put the last of the smoked pork in it, and it was much better. We’ve been having a lot of pulled pork sandwiches this past week. 😋

    What's for dinner?

    My store’s sale was because it is a brand new store that just opened on Thursday. Lots of good deals these first weeks. ($7.99/# boneless ribeye that I stocked up on.) So, just over 11 hours for the smoked pork butt! Internal temp was 196. I never did look at the weight. So yummy! (Lol, we ate...

    What's for dinner?

    Store had pork butt for $0.99/#. Husband wants to smoke it. He says it will take 8-12 hours. Guess I better hurry up and prep it if I don’t want to be eating super late.

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    I harvested peaches this evening. They aren’t ripe yet, but the bugs and birds were ruining so many, that I figured I better get what I could before they were all gone. I found a ton of bare peach pits on the ground under the tree, along with a lot of half eaten peaches that had fallen. I have...

    Things To Know Before Getting Geese

    I’ll have to leave the meat answers to @Alaskan . I’ve never eaten a goose yet. I did once allow a customer to slaughter and process the birds he bought from me here. They bought some ducks and one goose. I helped them a little, but they did most of the work. They made plucking the goose look...
