Granny's gone and done it again

[Bonkerelli]

DH is 73 and I am 71. Old enough to know better but silly enough to not quit. We have 20-21 acres of hardwood timber and heat 100% with wood. All we harvest are dead standing or like Big Bertha, dead standing that have come down. When Bertha hit the ground there was a thunderstorm roaring through right before sunrise. I heard a crash that made me think that lightning had struck close to the house. Found out later that day that nope, it was old Bertha hitting the ground.

Good for you guys! Though you both are 40 years my senior, it is hard enough for my generation to have a steady job! I lived an off grid life style... it is hard work!

Morning, Grannypeeps! What's on the agenda for today? Granny, did you get any rest?
@Bonkerelli what are you doing with all those chickens? Are you selling? Showing? Improving a breed? Or just .. chicken mathing?
@prostar, nice to see you and the pups too! Obvi, you need a new couch, may I recommend a nice cream-colored one to show off the Kodi as he grows? Just think how it will show off muddy footprints too as fall and winter approach! Okay I will go stand with my nose in the corner for a while ....

lol we do have new brown couches but we’re trying to keep the dogs off em.

Oh bloody heck. It’s back to embedding pics in the quotes. Ugh!

Our home is Amish built and live in the middle of an Amish community. We lived here for 4 years before we broke down and put electricity in. Rural water only until then along with a Generator and a few solar panels. We put the wiring in during a heat wave. When the power company threw the switch for us the first thing we turned on was the AC.

It was like, okay, we proved to ourselves that we could live without electricity, now where's the light switch?

You can Google hypercoagulation in lymes disease and there is something like that

Forgot to add. Ticks. Hate 'em. I've had Lyme twice and last year got bit by a Lone Star tick that made me sick. I keep Minocycline on hand in case of a bite and took it. Doctor said it was some sort of bacterial infection but it left me with a healthy hatred for Lone Stars.

Now I read where we have black legged ticks here and they are active all winter. Great.

Ticks have been really bad here this summer. We haven't been able to walk across the yard without finding ticks on us when we got back to the house.

I really hate ticks.

Night all. See ya tomorrow!

I hate them too. My nephew has lymes too. I have a very dear friend in her 90s and it was activated again when she got covid. Horrible

artichoke dip in 8oz of cream cheese, 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of dried dill, 1 cup of mayo, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Mix all together in a bowl and bake in a 375F oven for about 25 mins.

Sounds good but ... where is the artichoke in this recipe? Do you use the stuff that comes in the glass jar?

Looked like challah bread. I like doing an egg wash on mine. Every once in a while I do poppy seeds.

I did an egg wash on mine, one egg and a tsp of cream. But the bread really expanded in the oven so part of the bread does not show the dark color from the egg wash where the braid opened up. I used sesame seeds.
