I am having issues with mud because this winter has been very rainy... All of the grass is dead so it's not there to stop the mud from becoming crazy and I just almost slipped on my butt. Does anyone know what I should put down on the ground until spring comes, would pine bark mulch work?

What does one put barbecue sauce on besides meat?

I don't care for BBQ sauce, so don't eat it.

BBQ baked beans uses the sauce.

Pine bark, wood chips, straw anything that will enrich the soil will absorb the water and give the ground more texture.

Eating better is a lifestyle change. We are slowly improving. Had a huge setback this year that affected me more than I should have let it. Back to the lifestyle.

No, resolutions are promises. If you don't make promises, you won't break them.

I've decreed that we will move. Intention is to buy land with no HOA. Unfortunately, with fewer humans around, more things eat chicken. Getting that set up will be a lot of work. First goal is to get this place repaired and sold. I've got a 5 year plan. Same setback on diet is affecting this too. Best wishes! It's good that y'all agreed and set a goal together.

We don't really make resolutions either We basically create goals and we try to accomplish them by the end of the year.

This year's goals were to build a big chicken area, which we did.

What were my goals this year? I think quail. Quail were my goal and with a LOT of help from people here, we accomplished that. Built pens. Raised, bred and ate quail. Learned a lot. In fact, quail were the reason I hatched.

Awesome!!!

It's always nice when you actually accomplish your goals. I guess meat chickens will be my next goal. I'm already growing them, but I'll need to butcher them. I've learned so much on here about raising them

Goals for 2020

1) Feeder roach colony

2) Butcher meat chickens

3) Save for land

4) 2nd batch of meat chickens

5) Raise and butcher turkeys

You've never made dried beans? You're missing out on life. Refied beans are so much better homemade! I make mine in the pressure cooker

Nope never.

I’m gonna have to try this haha

Understood. No foul intended.

We will make them meatless occasionally also. No pressure cooker. Wait for a cold day and cook them on the stove for 2 days until half are mush. Fresh bread with butter or cornbread. I'll eat beans as the main course, but others want a variety. Didn't like it when I blended 2 types of beans "for variety".

DD#1 went on a health kick and we ate a bit of hummus. Interesting flavor. On veggies or bread. Really good with jalapeno potato chips and salsa, too.

Got acorn squash and mushrooms for a roasted vegetable feast.

Hummus is delicious. Especially good on pita chips or spread on sandwiches haha
