After 2 weeks down -- 1 just waiting on parts -- it's up and running! :celebrate so today is tractor therapy!! Yep. Dew dries soon and I'm on it 👍 high protein breakfast to keep me going for a while. No job work until Thursday and it's only one long day for this week. May get some things...
I've canned several veggies with only a couple pints of each by working up a few ea of different vegs that use same time in canner. Bingo full canner.
Most meats & dry beans use same canner time.
Plan for storage of winter veggies....much as you can, without processing.
We're here for you :hugs this is a very traumatic, sad time. My late DH left from colon cancer and it was a test of your very soul. I think of you and pray for you both. The work you are doing is a release for you, be it ever so tiring... Keep at it. Hug a chicken, it's a needed release of...
Chopped & cooking apart this left over Boston butt. I'll have pulled pork in a couple hrs. Seasonings & all. Did another about 4-6 weeks ago. This will finish my BBQ stash for winter👍 I'll pop a couple potatoes in the oven to cook, too. Mashed potato fritters with centers, loaded & cheesy...
Well, we do as we need to do. Besides, at least one of those weeks off was spent playing in hog guts! :hidesuch fun!!!! 😵💫
This week -- take a slow day first, to commune with animals. Then you can hussle. The work will wait patiently 😄
I've had breakfast, gone for parts, home to chores...
I like the different tastes of colored bells but, I refuse to pay those store prices!🙁. I've bought at the produce auction, aver 25 cent per pepper. Also grow them....more in 2025. They're never on a good sale here. Nope, just those 3 packs -- aver over $1 per pepper! They grow with my green...
Well I did more apple slices! 😊 7 trays. :celebrate
I will cut my comfrey leaves this week but, I air dry those. Then crush to jar up. I laid a few into my garlic containers last week -- great fertilizers, minerals. My goats love the comfrey and I give to any who might get sickly acting.
Hot biscuits, buttered & homemade apple butter - hot coffee - comfort food. Still need some protein😉
Hoping fog lifts soon. It's heavy...75' visibility. Once it clears, I'll go to work.
One of those appliances that can be good. I have a couple small George Foreman grills....great for a fast cook of one piece of meat! Plus sometimes I do veggies or a bagel on it. 👍
6:30 - having hot tea. Stuffed pepper in MW heating for breakfast. Waiting on daylight -- chores then to work. Looks like I'm home for a week starting Saturday 😁. Good. Well, great if tractor repair is done:fl
That's USA? Because many countries are about the opposite ratio. Goat milk is most consumed milk, worldwide -- they say. Many countries cannot support cattle, goats eat differently, need less land and can handle mountainous terrain better. 🤷. Just not as popular in USA.
The food recalls of late are extensive and alarming! Listeria, salmonella, metal flakes, dyes & ??? Major producers.
Yet, we can't sell "dangerous" raw milk 😑... :old :lol: patooy.
Was thinking chicken parm but a pork roast jumped out of the freezer. Baked that & some sweets.🤷
Tomorrow chicken parm. Still want it! :lol: plus was out of vino to go with.
Oh, yeah :lol: not! Can't toss them like years back, more a hug type move. But, is there that much difference in price? Climb in&out of trailer (or truck) to bucket it out would be "fun"🥴
Best I've found was farmer who grew & mixed feed, grains, and sold in 50 gal plastic drums. You...
