I am so glad we delayed our plans one day, the weather was not warm, but it was not raining so we were thankful for that. It was fun to meet everyone and to help out with the fence. My DH is a work horse for sure and enjoys helping others. I hope your critters are able to get out in that new...
I am so very sorry for your loss, when we lose a precious baby, it is so hard. 😭 You are in my prayers today, and I will give you hugs tomorrow when we come to help.
Yes it is a bit of a trick to get them cooked and moist, my friend batters them and pan fries them, then bakes them. she loves it that way, we are just trying not to eat fried things...
Your smoker sounds very wonderful. That is a lot of meat it can handle. I would love to see pictures of it when done. One key, brine them in a salt/sugar/spice mixture for at least 24 hrs too, this adds to the wonderful flavor and moistness. We could do about 16 at one time if we wanted, but...
okay, sounds like you all have been up to shenanigans..... waiting to hear the full story :hu this weather is now cold and yucky again, and it looks like rain on Saturday the 26th, we were supposed to come out and help with fence building, what are you thinking?
Wow, you are making great progress!! I know it has not been easy, with the number of things we acquire over time moving is a bit dauting. But it looks like you are doing a good job of taking things in stages. I am glad you got some help! Moving all that farm equipment is a huge undertaking by...
you bet, well we will work out some time to come while Ridgetop is here!! can't wait to see all you have done and meet your critters in person! be safe
Sounds like this Saturday is not a good day for us to plan to come, the following weekend we are out of town... our next free day is the 26th.... so not sure how much help we can be...
Yes Ma'am, we will be there next weekend to help with fencing, and I may try to sneak away for part of a day this coming week, leaving hubby home to tend to things here (I am still working, so depends on my work week) but @Baymule just give me details on day/time and how to find you via text...
OMG - that is a tight time frame for you, wow. And with your knees acting up, it will be a brutal push to get it all done. My hubby and I can offer one afternoon Sat or Sun (we work weekdays) if that helps with things... just give us a heads up via text on things, we can talk over what you need...
@Ridgetop I want to know how you all are doing too... praying your hubby is okay. and I agree that you should not bring a trailer - if @Baymule needs a trailer we have one as well... traveling that far with that in tow is going to be more costly on gas and a hassle.
fyi, have you any mullen tea? I keep this on hand, it is amazing for cough, colds, congestion - I mix my own tea with chamomile and lemon/mint as well as elderberry and a few other herbs just for good measure - we both drank about 8 cups of hot tea each day, and I still pull out my tea in the...
@Baymule you need to rest up, take care of yourself. Pace yourself so you don't overdo it. I am glad you got as much done this weekend as you did, but man take care of your knees and your health.
We took this weekend to catch up on things around out place. After being down with Covid for two...
wow you have done great, I have been out for a few weeks - we both caught Covid so have been recovering... but your place has been a ton of work, but it looks great. So glad you got the new car too - that is always a huge relief to have a reliable vehicle. I hope your move goes smoothly...
I am glad to learn these things now, long before we get pigs or do something we regret with our pup. She will be kept outside her pen but very near them, I am now thinking we will create a separate area for the next critters, maybe alpacas or goats and she can be with them... but will just let...
