Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[peteyfoozer]

Directions here are to turn off the highway to Burns and it’s the first ranch on the left.
Omit the part about going around the bend, the road turns to gravel and ruts and there’s 50 miles if it before you see the ranch, top speed is 40 mph unless you want to wind up in the bar ditch…plus there’s the deer, antelope, occasional elk and ALWAYS bovine streetwalkers…

That picture -- talk about "nowhere" And miles of it.

We have driven 4 hours to town and passed less than 5 vehicles.

Oh, there is also the occasional wild horses…these had just crossed…

and, the not so wild…

Worst directions I ever got……

You know where that bad wreck was yesterday?

Me-Surely they hauled off all the wrecked cars by now!

 

[peteyfoozer]

Got two loaves of sourdough cold fermenting, 1 for a boule and 1 to try baking in a loaf pan.
Got biga sitting through the night for my first ever ciabatta. I wanted something special to use for sandwiches with the meat off the ox tails, because it is so delicious! I have potatoes already peeled and sliced for ham & potato soup tomorrow night.
I am worn out. I am also pissed because the butcher never contacted me to ask how I wanted our beef cut and wrapped. So we have no roasts and no kidney fat to make tallow, which I desperately need.
Jerks!

Call butcher and tell them!! You won't get roasts but, they'll prob be able to give you fats from another -- which they either toss or sell, since many don't ask/want. Get your share.

Great idea!
