It has been a great summer. We planted a garden, swam almost every day, made new friends, learned a lot, began using raw milk, preserved lots of stuff and generally stayed busy and happy all summer. We learned how to butcher chickens and made gallons of cultured salsa. Most days began early and ended late. It has been good.
Fall has officially started around here, even though the weather is wonderful. The pool has been allowed to go green and the garden has sections being finished up. The chicks which hatched on the first day of spring have begun laying (it is about time!). We took a vacation to the Oregon coast and went crabbing.
School and soccer began and the kids are being brought back into routines (it is not easy). We were blessed by a coffee can of rendered bear fat. I am going to make pie dough with it. I'll let you know how it goes.
Today we had a discussion on cultured foods. I am re-energized on sauerkraut, ginger ale, kombucha and sourdough bread. My sister found a great web site that she loves and she is trying out tons of new recipes. I hope you enjoy it as well.
This stands for "God's Natural Organ Whole Foods Grown Locally In Season"
We are all about that :)
