Took the kids camping to a provincial park. Not quite the wilds but it was bathing in the river. ( no showers!) lit the fire with a fire steel and "fat" wood and tried to catch dinner with a pole.... Ended up being chilli n rice but, all in all, I would count this a win. On an amazingly pr...

Cracked open a jar of my Cabernet cranberry blueberry sauce yesterday to go with the Duck. Mmmm

Backtracking a wee bit to Terry T.... 2 handfuls of cashew nuts is the organic equivalent to a dose of Prozac. My DH is off the anti depressants now and we both shove a handful of these bad boys in our face each day. I'm not suggesting you ditch any of your meds (God forbid) but cashews are readily ...

Hey! Ex pat checking in... Been real busy rehabilitating the raised veggie beds and I've doubled up from 6 to 12. All planted out now and the water barrels are in place with the drip irrigation the last thing to finish. Also put in a mini orchard, fenced because of the damn deers that eat everything...

Hubby bought me an awesome copper kettle which now adorns my wood stove . I picked up a wash board (authentic) and I started stocking $1 bottles of washing up liquid.

Need to put my garden beds to sleep too

Yep... I was horrified ( at the bayonet). We have a gun safe, lock boxes inside the safe and trigger locks on all the weapons. I'm a bit paranoid but I am British you know! Yep - guns are legal here as long as you have your firearms licence ( which can be restricted or non restricted). Funny enough ...

Went a little crazy this weekend... @ Ragdolly........ I think you did :lol: do you actually live in your jar house :D You better believe it :D Back to canning meat - actually went so far as to can hot dogs ( I have an 11 year old boy... Don't judge!) I don't remember if I added some salt to the ca...

Back a couple of pages to the canning - Corn relish, zucchini relish, chutney, pickled onions / beet root/ cukes, garlic, jam ( a lot of jam) Chocolate cherry pie filling, fruit of the vine ketchup, Still gots to make hot sauce.... DH came home with a semi auto and 1100 rounds. I picked up a 72 hour...
