Ok, long story short: I need some extra cashola to help support my teenaged daughter's budding hobby. (She is going to be helping me after homework, school and lessons, because this is her hobby and I want her involved.) Sooo, I'm going to rent a booth at the indoor flea market we have here...
Basic recipe:
2 eggs
1 cup almond flour
pepper, paprika and salt to taste (I added cayenne too)
Whip up eggs, add the rest, forming a batter and put in the freezer for 30 minutes or fridge for 1 hour. You want the batter-dough firm enough to form dumplings or fork drop dumplings.

I chose the Kenyan style beehive b/c it is very natural for the bees and I won't need a honey extractor. To extract the honey I cut a piece of hive and let it drop into the jars, then I crush the rest and strain it with a special strainer (a paint strainer from sherwin williams). There are a...
Mmmkay, I have 3 broken plastic swimming pools that won't hold water. Normally I chop them up and recycle them...a real pain in the patoosie. I have to get my strawberry starts in the ground asap so I was going to build another raised bed for them. Light went off in my head, cut the bottoms...
Mine are 9 weeks old today. I fed them local organic feed and totally free ranged them since they were 3 weeks old.

(We are butchering them tomorrow.)
Oh and two are...

One of my last St. Bernards...
My sister asks:

I just printed out the rabbit with crearmy wine sauce for tomorrow night. Sounds fantastic don't you think?
I've got family coming in from TX for a visit on the same day as I already scheduled to dispatch my first-time-ever-to-own meat chicks. (Where is the freaking out (but in a good way) smilie.) I have a friend (that OFG set me up with--thanks for that girl!) and my 14 yo daughter here to help...

My next adventure is going to be bees. I have an orchard (pear, cherry and apple), I have flowering trees, an herb garden and early spring bulbs planted already. I got a beekeeper's seed kit containing phacelia, catnip, lemon mint, purple coneflower, bachelor's button, coriander/cilantro...
