rodeogirl's journey to being self-sufficient

[sumi]

So do I… It snowed 4 times and the last one stuck and settled finally, before it started raining and it all melted. Friday morning I saw two cars come into the village that was covered in about an inch deep layer, so someone got a good load. Yesterday morning we were covered in frost and I mean white with the stuff, but this morning we're warm again. Fickle weather. It's early days still, we'll probably get more soon enough.

Ireland sounds a lot like Arkansas.

The next two weeks are going to be crazy im moving in with my boyfriend so I have to pack up all of mine and my son's things move them to storage until it's warm enough to go through everything and see what I want and what I want to get rid of. And while all of this is going on I need to find out what is up with my son's shot records because apparently the records that where sent to the hospital are from after he was 2 and I had moved before my son was 1 and a half.

Congrats on the move! Hospital records - ugh. Keep after them until they get it right.

So my boyfriend got my son a cat and I was looking at the ingredients on his cat food which just scares me. I'm the kind of person that if I wont feed my family that quality of food why would I feed my animals it. So I'm thinking of making food for the cat. I've made cat food before for my cat that I had growing up but I cant use the same recipe just because I don't have axes to the same ingredients. But the recipe was approx.
1 lb salmon cooked
1 lb tilapia cooked
1 lb elk cooked
1 lb beef cooked
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups frozen peas
1 cup grated carrots
mix all ingredients and freeze in 1/4 cup pucks heat until warm and serve to your deserving kitty
Edited to fix recipe

So has anyone here had yerba mate. My sister got me hooked on this tea when she came back from Argentina a couple years ago. And of course I drink it the traditional way using a bombilla and A mate gourd So I get some pretty weird looks at work.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

I have heard of it! Guess I need to investigate more! That's a cool looking 'thingy', lol!

I remember trying some years ago. I had a Spanish teacher in high school that was from Argentina

So my son's cat is missing. He got outside yesterday around 4 and hasn't been back.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Oh no! Hope he's just catting around and will return soon!
