    I made blueberry jam out of a quart that had been forgotten in the fridge for a couple of days, it turned out amazing. Especially with fresh croissants.

    Chicka, we take them out of their pen to eat some grass every once in a while. They wouldn't stay in that full time. Ron, yeah, possibly we're gonna get the peak of that mountain as a 100 year birthday present. At the moment, the highest spot in Finland is located about 40 meters (130 feet)...

    Al, I think it's because we're a pretty flat country, usually glaciers are higher up.

    Bruce, the population is believed to have gotten started from domestic bunnies that have gone feral. In the Helsinki city center you can actually see some other color variations from time to time, but most of those tend to be pretty short lived. The darn bunnies have spread further from the city...

    Bruce, we get those (City-bunnies as they're known as here) in our yard too. One feral bunny keeps visiting our tame ones, and it has already given them ear mites once. I should finally put together the trap I've been constructing in my head.

    No Glaciers in Finland (not since 10000 years back or so). Back when all of this was covered by half a mile of ice it did press us down a lot, so in places the ground is raising over a quarter inch annually still. The drinking water supplied from Päijänne through the aforementioned tunnel is...

    And Deb, it's no use, you'll never get it working. You should look into Suunto products instead. (I'm just messing with you).

    @Latestarter Oh yeah, dogs are good, and better half too, even though she managed to fracture her hand a bit yesterday using a dummy launcher (Google it) the wrong way. Like Forrest's momma used to say, "Stupid is as stupid does." @room onthebroom Yeah, I've finally got everything growing...

    Hey there, Bunny! Well Bruce, if you insist: Garden is doing great, maters, eggplant, beans and pumpkins being the main focus this year. Then the front side of the house: Three ways to utilize IKEA boxes (and a bit of compost cage parts): A bad pic of some...

    Deb, is the pacemaker working as it should?

    Deb, I hope just talking about it helps too. Speaking of nurses, how are things progressing with your health? Has the rest of the crookedness subsided now? And I haven't heard anything about your son in ages, how's he doing? I think he had started some job last I heard?

    Diva, I'm surprised to hear of your agoraphobia - seems like you've got it in check though, since you tend to go to the movies and everything. Seen anything interesting lately? Looking forward to the Angry Birds movie? =P

    @Ol Grey Mare That's the way it goes - when you want eggs you get broodies - when you want broodies you get an overflow of eggs. Or then everyone is just molting all the time, which is the worst alternative :D

    I've usually vacuum packed the meat right away, and put it in the fridge, then thrown it in the freezer the next day(sometimes I forget for up to a couple of days). I haven't really noticed a difference in tenderness, but I tend to roast them slowly most of the time anyway. I wouldn't freeze...

    The Old Folks Home

    Hello everyone! Been a while since I last managed to log on to BYC, I just switched jobs and it's been keeping me busy. Spring is far along here, and we've been tinkering around the yard. I have loads of plants in the greenhouse already, and we're gonna have a lot of bunnies to process in the...

    Al, poor goats are just lonely. Maybe take them inside instead of building pseudo-friends.

    Al, the end facing away from the house (and wind) has two pieces of plastic that overlap about a foot and a half in the middle. That works as our entrance and air exchange. We can just open them like curtains when needed.
