A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Homemade turkey sausage AND ice cream! Honestly I would not have thought to quickly whip up turkey sausage or can the rest of the meat. I'm impressed! I wouldn't have a clue how to do either....

Daisy layed another egg on my foot yesterday. We had a bit of a break in our weather, due to storms. So I was out all morning working in the yard. Both turkeys hanging out supervising. I'd periodically sit & take a break.
Daisy tends to sit at my feet. At one point she stood up & just layed her egg. This is not the first time shes done this. Now why wouldn't she waddle 20 feet over to her nest box? Annie will go sit in her nest, lay them pop out & rejoin us. Chickens always excuse themselves & go lay in their box. But Daisy has no qualms about laying an egg on me. I'm finding this behavior odd..I dont get it....

Welp. We only had one pound of snausage left so that seemed a good choice instead of havin fifteen pounds of ground turkey to add to the huge amount of beef burger we already have from the whole cow we had butchered this spring. He thought about makin snack snausage sticks and summer snausages but we needed breaky snausages more.

And cannin meat had been on my to do list so EPIC crash course lol! The Ball canning book has always been my super awesome go to book for stuff like that. It has everything! I did use my google fu and search to kinda make sure that works well too. My granny b grew up in a big family like ten of em and her mama passed away when she was young. Granny b did all the cookin for them... she used to make sausage and cook it fully... then put the patties in mason jars and pour the grease over it and can it like that. All of them said it came out jist like it was fresh cooked. I really wanna try that one day too.

It really wasnt so bad. The bad part of that.... the last time we butchered rabbits paul said he had seen where someone took the rib meat (which is a pita to eat off the ribs) and the backbones and boiled them down and deboned it for stews and stuff... so i had two, two gallon ziplocks burstin with those parts. It was a pita to debone but i got four full quarts of soup meat. We really do try to waste as little of the animals we butcher as possible so this was a win even if i dont wanna do it often lol!

But really my motivation was that i didnt wanna cook all that meat to eat or lose it either. So i had do somethin kwim. And ice creams today... it is so stinkin hot! Home ade ice creams is ALWAYS awesome in this hot nonsense! Daughter in law wanted strawberry amd fried green maters. Lol! She been askin a few times a week for the last month if my maters are ready. She been cravin my fried green maters... cause she says hers dont taste like mines. Silly bird! She uses MY recipe lol! So sunday dinner today is grilled burgers, macaroni salad, fried green maters and ice creams.

Yes it was hot that night! She doesnt have a garden. She really didnt care if it was maters from my plants or bought maters.... she jus wanted ME make her fried green maters lol! She has been doin this since the first year she and son were datin (long long time ago) and i made them one day. I have do it at least twice a month for her while maters are in season. Once in a while in fall and winter and spring she will ask too. She is jus spoiled hahahaha. I can only imagine what all she gonna be sweet talkin me into makin for her when she gets with child.... i am gonna be so screwed lol! But i do love the stinker!

It's always fun to take requests... BTW for summer time canning I have a two burner LP stove on the deck... I'm thinking about canning up some turkey and turkey stock in the not too distant future...
