Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

It’s so easy! I just raw pack the meat into jars, and pressure can pints at 75 minutes, quarts at 90 minutes, 10 lbs pressure per the Ball Blue Book. I add canning salt to my jars. I de-bone the carcass as best I can, but leave the meat on the drumsticks. I don’t can the wings. Since the drumsticks don’t fit in my pint jars, I stuff as many as I can in quart jars. Let me know how yours turns out!

Does it make its own broth when it’s pressurized, or do you add liquid?

I do not add liquid.

Good morning, Pond. Has someone been cooking chicken on my lily pad ? Smells good.

I should add that if you want more liquidy broth, you may want to add some liquid to it. It does create its own broth, but you have to add to it if you want to use it for soup or something like that.

Just wait until you taste it!

How does Mother Nature do that?
Sorry, @OneMountainAcres , I hope you were not planning on working on your birthday. It would be a bad day to freeze to death!

Mother Nature needs to go back on her meds. It was 79 here on Saturday (with 30-40 mph winds, gusting to over 50 mph), yesterday it was 39, windy, and a few snow showers. High of 38 today with a windchill of 19. Sigh…

We had some RAIN!!!!

But... yeah.... not much...

My driveway yesterday, Pond on right.

And the path out of my front door... yes.. up and very dirty icy ramp to the driveway... the little thing is the pond coop.

And... pictures of the church, with the Pascha decorations. The stuff on the floor are the laurel leaves of victory, and rose petals... that the priest throws at everyone in the church while we sing "Christ is RISEN from the dead!"

On Sunday we have church at 4 PM!!! A super short service where we read the gospel in as many languages as we can... the one where the apostles see the risen Lord, and Thomas misses it, and when they tell him, Thomas says he won't belive until he himself sees Christ.


And after that... we FEAST! No curdled milk was to be found! but there were armadillo eggs, and Texas dip, 3 kinds of chicken enchiladas, roast lamb, ham, scalloped potatoes, baklava, amaretto cake, some kind of fancy cup cakes, wine, beer, candy! Not sure what else... bunches of food! Oh.... there WAS salad... I ate that first... covered in blue cheese dressing... ah! Blue cheese dressing! Maybe that counts as curdled milk!

It was such a fantastic time!

Today is a day off!!!

I told the kids they could sleep in as long as they want... no more school until Thursday (well, maybe a little Tuesday and Wednesday)...

So far, at ELEVEN in the morning... only one kid is up!!!

But... don't panic, spouse made me coffee AND the fanciest sausage creamy stuff quiche.


You want me to love you? Feed me! I am easy!!!
