I will have to try those recipes once my birds are laying better.




Edited because auto correct is anything but.

I made all four of the doors for the bunny condo, and stapled on the wire mesh. I have a few more pieces of wire that need to be stapled on but it was misting rain and i didn't want to get chilled so i came in.
I need to find some hardware so i may be spending time in the garden shed tonight. Nice that it has electric light!

Cinnamon rolls are one of my all time favorites

My neighbor pickled green beans. They were a lot like pickled okra in texture.
If anyone likes the pickled okra but cannot get ahold of fresh okra I think its worth a go.
I think he used a pickling packet designed for pickles so no real recipe. I can likely find out what packet he used.

Hubby wants to go out to dinner. Something about a Mexican restaurant we haven't tried before.

thats because our hands are yucky and we don't want to touch the camera

Beekisseds video on skinning, she had it posted here somewhere

Here's Joel at Mother earth news fair. I do use the same equipment.
I spend a bit more time rubbing their neck once in the cone as it tends to put them to sleep.

Here's Daniel breaking them down. Still can't believe he is consistently at 1 minute 11 seconds per bird. Best I can do is three minutes.

I can do a bird in about 1:30.... only that's hours and minutes, not minutes and seconds. I stand in awe/jealousy of their skill.

Granted, I could go a whole lot faster if I weren't mucking about with dry plucking and THEN skinning 'coz my evisceration job was just that bad, but I'd still be pretty slow either way.

Beekissed is my role model. It'll take me years and years to get even halfway good at turning squawky things to dinner as she is.

Let me find you a youtube recipe for dilly beans. I like it. Or I can give you my recipe for canned green beans as well.

For my recipe, I make up a big bowl of diced carrots, potatoes, bacon, onion, and garlic. I mix it all together and add a big spoonful to each jar. Then I add green beans cut at about an inch. Add a half tsp of salt and chicken stock (from my chickens). Then I pressure can.

I want a candle that smells like winter and smoke from a fireplace

I could send you a campfire scented candle frozen and packed in snow....

What's the potato for? Can it be done minus the potato?
Is the mixture cooked? The bacon?
How long do you pressure can for?
