Well, I think that was a bust. I have been feeding/discarding my sourdough since Monday and I honestly think I killed it last night. I fed it yesterday morning and it was proofing wonderfully. Came back to it last night and it had split and started to fold in on itself. I did try toContinue reading “Journey updates”

Good afternoon from beautiful Southern Utah. It has been a rainy and cold couple of days here. I am about to start on a new, and hopefully, enjoyable venture into sourdough. I have never done sourdough at all, other than buying it already made from the grocery store, which I’ve come to understand isn’t reallyContinue reading “Ventures into Sourdough”

First time ever making this concoction! It definitely has a bit of a kick to it but the health benefits should make it worthwhile!

Here’s to a new start in a new year! Hopefully this year is better and more productive than the previous years have been! Hope you and yours have a safe and prosperous new year!

So, as of the last time I posted, I had one wee little egg! Currently, I have two hens that are laying and I now have a full dozen beautiful eggs, blue and brown ones.

If my count is correct, I have about 20 yellow squash that, hopefully, will be ready to harvest in the next month or so. ThereContinue reading “Garden Galore?”

Have you ever tried freeze dried grapes? No? Me, either until this morning when they came out of the dryer. I had bought some grapes and blueberries to take up to my daughter’s house when we went up there to help with getting her chicken coop ready. Needless to say, I had some left overContinue reading “Something weird!”

If any of you have been following my posts, you are aware of my recent purchase of a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. I think, eventually, it will become aware of how valuable this is going to be, but right now I am still in the early stages of learning what this thing is capable of.Continue reading “Freeze Dried Ice Cream and a Quick Garden Update”

Well, a lot has happened since I last wrote. I was able to rehome the 3 roosters that I was unable to keep due to city ordinances. Luckily a lady contacted me about taking them to her farm just north of us, so they were all able to stay together. I am also continuing toContinue reading “What an Adventure!”
