Look at that.. another "hey I've been busy sorry I've been away yadda yadda yadda" post. Shocking!
So anyway, this is what I've been up to.
I found a new amazing snack.
So good, you guys
I've been torturing my neighbors with my new banjolele. Please note the Bing Futch shirt. It's totally cool to wear a shirt about one instrument and play a different one.. right? Sho.
I think I'll call her "Lola"
I finally mowed the lawn and whacked the shit out of the weeds.. and tried to look tough doing it.
Trying to look all gansta -ish.
I rendered down something like three pounds of beef fat I'd been saving. I'm going to use this to make beef confit... eventually.
I guess they call this tallow.. or something
I made 16 pints of chicken stock out of the carcasses I'd been saving in the freezer. I finished up the last of the homebrew in front of the window while I waiting for the bitch, Big Betty to finish up.
It was so hot in the kitchen with the pressure canner and the oven going at once.
We bought a big box of meat. Which is why I was canning and rendering like a fool. I needed the freezer space.
That's 30lbs of pastured pig and cow right there.
And we did a 45 whirlwind trip to the most Magical Place On Earth and stayed awake for 20 hours! I felt invicible! Until I fell down.
Such a beautiful day
That's the snippets. What do you want to know more about first?
Yes, I have missed you. Lola is beautiful. I look forward to rendering tallow some time. And having freezer space.
