Do you have a mushroom girl? You need a mushroom girl.

Book Fairy came today… Since I can’t sleep I am reading of making sausages 🤗!!! I LOVE THIS OLD BOOK! The recipes are organized by origin of ethnicity!

Good morning.

Day 6 and now with the fifth or sixth water main fracture (in approximately a 2 mile area)… So no water again today. Hubs found this excavation and patch job when he left for work, no men, went on down the road a quarter mile and saw another break just bubbling out next to the

☹️ im debating wether to compost the remainder of my (hard earned) muscadine juice, or maybe just put it out for the bees. It has been in the stainless steel pot now for well over a week, and though it appears ok I know its flavor quality must be oxidized - and thus degraded…

Good afternoon friends 🌞 Jasper is seeing a boat for the first time

Before you decide that you’ve no need for the electric Water Bath Canner (🤣 like I almost did when I got the steam canner) - I’m really thankful for it right now as this is boiling water (in a nice large batch) for dishes, or drinking, or even a bath and sure is fast, no mess

Kitchen is done, cleaned and closed. 1.75G yogurt milk (2 parts whey 1 part yogurt) made and put into the fridge. Sometimes we don’t want yogurt for desert and will drink a glass of it as buttermilk with the meal to kick start good digestion, especially a rich heavy meal. I

While I’m on kitchen stuff here is how I wash dishes when I have no running water. One bowl for soapy water, a larger one for rinsing. When the soapy water is yuck, pour it out and then make the rinse water the new soapy water... You are then cutting the water use in half during

I was feeling really sad this morning about having no water again, and about having to throw out the rest of my muscadine juice… But instead of focusing on the crap issue, I got busy with the solution. My Cabin kitchen is spotless now. I have a new way to use my Electric Water

Zucchini Marmalade (how odd 😂) I know that zucchini season has all but come and went; However, here is an odd recipe for using those overly abundant critters up! (Even odder that a random zuc recipe is at the beginning of all this 1969 bread book)

I just heard a jar unseal 😩 there is no more of miserable sound to the ears of a canner. I’ve made a mistake by clearing them from the north side hearth and putting them away on the south side of the cabin. Very hot today, I didn’t expect it.

Great road trip short… makes me miss those days.

Well the water is back on 😬 it took an hour to get all the air out of the lines and i have absolutely no explanation for that. I’m not starting any canning project bigger than maybe a few jars the rest of the week… hopefully I can do the Landry tomorrow, and maybe do some yard

Good Morning! We still have water! 💦

As September progresses, each sunrise I look out over the courtyard and can really hear the “deepening of Summer’s sigh”…

When you wake up on this hill (just as the sun is about to crest) this is what’s always waiting (for Pop Pop) outside the screen porch 🤗 The Breakfast Club… They are waiting for Hal to put the dishes of dry food out in the courtyard, and for the dirty “raccoon flavored” water

Bison are the best insulated animals on the planet. The will get crusted over with snow and ice, because their body heat doesn't escape that fine soft undercoat fiber. It's extremely fine.. finer than cashmere, and extremely comfortable. This is why we make things from their

There is treasure in them there hills 🤣!!! I found another one of mother’s “things” today buried on the slope off the side of Camp Patio!! I was pulling random vines and this just came right out of the dirt! What’s kinda freaky is I “talk to her” (in spirit) while i mess
