Like most migrants my previous home became too caustic and dangerous for my safety.
My peach tree provides me with an over abundance every year. We can peach halves, slices and juice. The halves and slices get used as muffins or coffee cakes, or added into morning oatmeal and salads. I canned 80 quarts of them this year.

Healthcare being for profit (thanks fucking republicans) is why healthcare costs are soaring. No one should invest in withholding heathcare. Having stocks in any heathcare is betting your sick neighbor won’t be able to access it so you’ll earn money. Stockholders are shitty people.

Our Julian would do that. Makes me miss him all the more. He passed on thanksgiving 15 years ago, so we always talk about his funny antics while eating dinner. He was the most lovable.

I’ve seen that. It’s another option. My towers are 2x4 welded wire. I used hay to contain the compost, and between layers of spuds.
I had an over abundance of broccoli and cauliflower starts this year, so planted them in the same type tower. The heads were about the size of sm grapefruit. It’s fun

I grow/raise most of what we eat. My husband was complaining to his coworkers about spending $100 at the grocery store one week. They laughed at him. When they told him what they spend he was shocked. I told him to bow down and thank his smart wife for her hard earned food, and to stop complaining.

I’ve had this happen. My response was “I’m sorry you’re not able to multitask, I can keep an eye on multiple things at one time.”
I honestly wonder how they handle everyday life, and I hope they aren’t parents.

Lots of compost and watered daily. Not a quick watering either. I let it drizzle until the hay got totally soaked. I think next year I’m going to run a soaker hose throughout. It was my first time, so I read other people’s issues and tried to combat them in advance. Inground I have bug issues.

I grew mine in towers this year. I didn’t get as much as in ground, but the condition of the finale harvest was far superior. Does require more monitoring of water, takes longer to plant, but no hilling, no weeding, digging and oddly no bugs. Just water daily. Got maybe 40lbs per tower.

We bought the cranberries, stuffing bread, cheeses and prosciutto. The homemade cheesecake is the most expensive item, but the 2 different cherry topping are from my trees. I part my turkeys when processing, so 1 turkey boob gets thawed the day before, and prep is minimal. I like tasty easy.

My blood sugar just jumped reading that. 😂
We don’t do the big gatherings. I cook for just us. Since my older son moved back near us it’ll be 4 at our table. Turkey roulade filled with stuffing and wrapped with prosciutto. Potatoes, gravy, cheesy veggie, sprouts and cranberry. I raised most of it.

My mom told me being a chef was a man’s job. Weird because she did all the cooking. I’m a really good cook. I love reading recipes for ideas, but I like to do my own thing when I make food.

Someone just stopped at our farm to inform me my goats were in the road. 🤷🏼♀️ I wonder whose goats they are? Have they been out this whole time, or did they escape again? Now I have so many questions. I only saw 1, but the concerned person said goats. How many are there?

Im in the states. I’m a diabetic, so I avoid adding any sweetener plus I find them sweet enough. They grill up nice too. I grew up eating all kinds of wild harvested foods. Weeds to some. I raise or harvest most of what we eat, and am food adventurous. My husband tried many new things since we met.

I love parsnips. People don’t realize they grow in the wild. I’ve never planted them, but I tag spots on my farm that have them, and then badger my husband to dig them up when we want some. I love them in stew (which I’m making today), but my favorite is fried in butter. So yum.

What does DACA have to do with healthcare?
I continuously ask “how can people be stupid enough to think he’s smart?”
Then I remember that it’s their racism that he advocates. That’s all those selfish aholes care about. When all the rural healthcare is gone they’ll blame others. As usual.

Luckily my son can stay on our insurance(for now). He works part time and goes to school full time. His employer offers insurance, but he’d have to pay $800/month over his payroll deduction. He declined. Like after receiving no pay he’d still owe them for insurance. That’s over $2500 a month.

I like fresh yams baked. Eaten with butter only. Sweet potatoes I like to peal and use in multiple stew/soup type things. No added sweeteners needed.

Mine is nuts. He likes to run full board at his sister, wrap his legs around her and roll her across the floor. Chuckie is nuts. The younger male sibling is always getting terrorized by him. The older female gives him a slap now and then. Nobody messes with the crabby tabby.
