First pot of pumpkin cooked down. This is a very large pot which held 6 pumpkins cut up. Now to allow them to cool so I can peel, smash and package it all up.
I’m not using a blender or food processor. Just my handy tater masher.
Soon I’ll be ready to start making pumpkin pies!
Harvested a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins out of the field today and there’s a couple more barrows worth still ripening. Can we say PUMPKIN PIE TIME?!?!?!?!
I’ll be at the market today. Bringing purple hull peas and chocolate chip cookies made fresh this morning! Yay! I’m baqck to baking again folks! Yum yum! I’ll post an update when I get there. See you soon!
Later: I’m here! Come get some peas and cookies!
I’ve got my Fiji water for the detox tomorrow! Make sure y’all get yours, too!
Thought y’all might enjoy a pic of my lovely little dairy goats and their Billy.
I have 1 lamancha, 1 saanen, 1 Nubian and 1 lamancha/alpine cross nannies. My billy is a 75% saanen 25% boer cross and a big baby!
I’m spending more and more 1:1 time with them to get them more and more used to being handled before milking time comes next year. Keep your fingers crossed for lots of healthy kids to be born early next spring!
Ok folks, who wants to do an aluminum brain detox with me? Join me! It’s easy and healthy.
If you’ve ever worn deodorant, drank out of plastics, ate commercially made breads, or had a vaccination- you have aluminum in your brain. If you aren’t familiar with the problems it can cause- look it up!
We need silica water to detox it out of our brains. Everybody buy 5 large bottles of FIJI brand bottled water, per person to detox by Sunday. Sunday at lunch time, we all drink down 1 full bottle within an hour. We repeat this each day at lunch time for the next 4 days. On Thursday let’s all check back in and discuss what we think!
If you’re on board with this detox and want to participate: comment to this post. If you’d rather do it some other time on your own, go for it and have fun getting healthier!
<T pulls all her pals into a football huddle>
Let’s get ready to detox!! WOOP WOOP
I’ve been working hard moving out to the homestead. It’s quite an undertaking but I’m picking away at the work load, bit by bit. This explains my market absences of late. Please bear with me folks, while I adjust through these changes.
In between all the chaos I’ve managed to get these things planted for future harvests:
A last ditch effort for a late season harvest of green beans. Don’t hold your breath on these just in case the frost gets em’!
Lettuce
Spinach
Mustard
Turnip greens
Cress
Parsley
Carrots
Onions
Turnip roots
Coming up to plant soon:
Late season cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, rutabaga, parsnips, Brussels sprouts, Chinese cabbage, garlic, kohlrabi, coffee chicory, collards, sweet peas, cool season culinary herbs and medicinal herbs! Plus several more coming soon, so stay tuned folks!!!
More updates will be posted as I go along.
