Comments (173)Jack, that's about the age of my new herd bull, he was a couple of months past 2 years old when I got him in August. He is registered, the people I got him from were serious about beef, they'd even had the rib eye ultrasound checked for fat marbling, LOL. I figure I can keep him for a couple of years and still get my money out of him. So I only have three cows, but I'm sure they are all bred. He was already tested, of course, as his owners were leasing him out as a herd bull before they sold him to me. Anyway, tenderloin for Christmas dinner this year! I made some really nice horseradish sauce with some of the horseradish, but Elery has been eating it straight, just smeared on a sandwich, he loves the stuff. I guess we'll be planting more, or letting it spread. I still have some in the freezer, unground, so I'll be experimenting with that when the three half pint jars I made are gone. I was told not to grind it all at once, since it loses it's potency. Elery's son, DIL and their three boys are coming from California for Christmas, we see the boys in the summer but haven't seen his son or DIL for nearly 5 years. He just put 5 pounds of venison sausage in the smoker this morning, more than we'll need although there will be a Christmas meal for 16 and another one for 11 this year. So, some venison came out of the freezer, was made into sausage and went back into the freezer, LOL. That kind of counts, right? Annie...See MoreWhat's for Dinner #393 2021
Comments (101)So sorry Neely is having sign in issues. Maybe try a new tab link using this?, HERE Her sunset is 5.15pm..? Crazy we are into spring/summer months...8pm sunset here.... Look at that gorgeous crust. I keep forgetting to check my raspberries. I think you will love the smoker. I gave similar as a stocking stuffer for DH over the holidays, (we don't gift but often some surprizes)...it was last minute but came with everthing so we smoked that day in the snow on the back deck off the kitchen...cheese, salmon...45 minutes, the salmon from frozen! Kitchen sink bake with super crispy salmon last night. I left all my veg with my parents last day visit. So had a few things like leek and fennel they would not know what to do with. A package of bacon tips remnants, excellent, (just used a 1/4 of the package)...seared the salmon in the bacon fat. So crispy yet rare on the other side. Not pretty but delicious and good lunches today. Usually an egg dish the day before veg delivery. But want to make marinated eggs tonight. Leek, red pepper, edamame, corn off the cob, cherry toms, feta, lemon ... I like the new Misfits system. Tried the meat/fish trials. Rock solid frozen NYstrips, chicken thighs i will smoke tomorrow for a chicken salad...two atlantic cod fillets. Bacon. Small portions so no re-packing. (we prefer our local farm share but we suspended being out of town) and have to order a larger amount per delivery. First strip steak in months! looking forward but so solid deep frozen it may be a couple days. Good timing placing a minimal order, then added some greens and pantry items. Sent a box to mother she just opened. Adorable she is over the moon getting greens and baby watermelon and things she had when we visited...purple radish, persian cukes, golden beets, Braggs AC vinegar...they have never had lacinato kale. Misfits let me use my 20$ off code to send them a box and i'll get 20$ off my next box. I'll send them a box maybe once a month. I did not need much to meet my minimum. With the meat trial. Two leeks off camera are enormous. Sent the same grain blend to dad. He will love it. He makes a mixed grain every few days. Sadly she boilded to death the 2 pounds of garden sugar snaps i left in their fridge... served all week visiting in a mixed quick pickle they loved. Oh well, 😂 My baby seedless cukes and the small lemon cukes are a few months away...we have been so obsessed with the raw foods all winter...Dad said he was most digested normal in years the week we vistied providing all day meals....9.15 am, boom, lol. Snacking on raw veg quick pickles he plans to continue...boom....See MoreWhat's for dinner #396-August/2021
Comments (100)Everyone's meals look great. Today I made a vat of spaghetti sauce and an apple crisp - both put a tiny dent in our apple and tomato harvest. I'm also trying some spare ribs that DH bought by mistake - he meant to get back ribs to smoke) started in the instapot and then broiled with sauce. So ribs and spaghetti and garlic bread tonight. My daughter who is an RN is staying with us for a couple of days and works the night shift tonight. With all the garlic in the meal, she won't have to worry about treating vampires! I told her I'll give her a pack of TicTacs to put in her pocket. Tomorrow will be Annie's salsa and some apple pie filling for the freezer. Then (not tomorrow!) I'll do slow roasted tomatoes and a batch of applesauce to freeze. Apple butter after that. It is hard to give away produce here as everyone I know has a plethora of produce. At one point our food banks did not take produce from "unkown" producers, but I should check again. There's also a church in our small town that does free "take-away" (since Covid) dinners, so I will contact them too....See MoreNovember 2021 - What are we reading?
Comments (85)Yesterday I finished reading The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth. I enjoyed this book. It really made me want to know who the heck might have killed the mother-in-law, if indeed it was not a suicide, as the police suspected. This is not in my personal "great books" category (not A Gentleman in Moscow or Virgil Wander or Ordinary Grace); nor is it in my "book club possibilities" category (not a lot to discuss); but it's definitely in my "good reading" category....See Moreannie1992
