:drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool :drool I think I know what I want to make today.....

Bacon! Speaking of which, I need to call around for bellies. I've accomplished something so far....I've cleaned the stove. Might not sound like much, but I don't think it's ever been REALLY cleaned since I got it - and I got it used, and it wasn't clean then. I did the whole self clean (aka...

Our lab Haley with her charge :) I think this pic was almost two years ago?

I love E&R Seeds, but they are an Amish/Mennonite group and no website. Their catalog is fantastic however. They have an answering service for phone and email. Email is eandrseed@yahoo.com, phone is 866-510-3337. They have a LOT of heritage and organic seeds, and the prices are very good I...

Can I have just cream for my Oreos? :D

I've salted our concrete pad, works well. Nothing grows in the cracks. Nothing grows where the path is from the house to the drive, salted in the winter.

Maaaaaan....coming over would mean leaving the house. I don't think I'm up for that today (though I will have to go gather eggs).

I want to bake something today. Hmmmmm....

It's ridiculous cold up here too. And I don't have bacon. :hit

Yeah...that was an O RLY? when I got them. They sure weren't going to go on the property border like I thought, so I put them in the garden. Child stomped one, but the rest have made it, some are about 3' tall now. Maybe in another 2-3 years I'll transplant them to where I want them, but they...

Awww Deb, you can bet on that! Well, planning out how I'm going to do the pig thing. I was thinking of running them in the shed, near the chickens, but then, the idea of chicken eating pigs isn't tops on my list, and I'd rather avoid any eating of the chickens, unless it's me. So, I thought...

I'm assuming you want something more involved that just stapling a quilt over a window (which is what we have in our bedrooms :D ) It does work :)

OMG. My spawn is a constant source of comedy. She just ran to hubby and informed him, " Daddy!!!! I get poopy out!! I push HARD! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

We had chicken "enchiladas" last night - aka cook up some chicken (or thaw out the shredded rooster meat here), cook some cream cheese, milk, chopped jalapeno (frozen here), and cheddar cheese (finally went to the store), and mix some of that with the chicken, wrap the chicken in burrito shells...

Mmmmmmm.....ham! I wonder how they get by selling the stuff in stores as "ham". All the real ham I've every had is that glorious red stuff that's juicy and smells good and doesn't tastes like a salt lick. Ok, two pigs it will be (shhhh....don't tell hubby.) I hope my book tells me how much...

Maaaaaaan...I was hoping I could con you into thinking they were bad and mailing them to me :D

I want a LOTTA bacon...I'm going back and forth on one or two pigs.....twice the bacon....

He also asked how long it takes to raise a pig to eat. I told him 8 months or so. I hope to have a pig in a couple months! :D

I has BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Butchering-Smoking-Curing-Sausage/dp/0760337829/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2 http://www.paperbackswap.com/Storeys-Guide-Raising-Kelly-Klober/book/1603424733/ Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hubby asked what the heck I got....I showed him the piggy book...

The 'taxi cab" flavor is what grossed me out a bit. To me, my own tasted like sweetened milk (I think humans have a higher milk sugar that cows?) I would have thought breast milk would have made a pretty mild cheese....not taste like a taxi cab.
