Coffee anyone ?

@rachels.haven ...WOW that is dry for there.... I would like to not mow my lawn for a couple weeks.... but we were so hot in July, although we did get some of the "possible pop-up" storms so got some moisture but it did get dry... not critical... hay is going to be expensive for you I am afraid...

 

[rachels.haven]

Yep.

You are not allowed to collect it and store it for later use which is understandable.

But unfortunate. Don't need the washing machine and shower water going out into the yard when it is raining. Need it a week later.

DH is fixing my cars brakes tonight.

That is a VERY good thing!

Good news/Bad news? Storm Marco has shifted to the east of us so we should be off the hook for that storm. Storm Laura is still a question mark and is predicted to strengthen more than Marco. We are still in the "cone of uncertainty" for that one. Dramatic sigh....

Marco is currently going to hit the LA coast south of New Orleans, turn west and follow the coast to TX then head to Houston and San Antonio. Laura is supposed to hit about the LA/TX border then head north to Shreveport. Bay might get some rain from Laura??

Coffee is on. Got a bit of rain last night.
Worked quite a bit on the farmhouse. Rabbit cages HAVE to be cleaned today. School, speech restarts. Then to the farm to carry all those bags of plaster out to the dumpster.

Thanks for the coffee. Pigs are in the trailer, taking them to slaughter this morning. THEn come home, drop trailer and go get Feed before the rains (I hope) start. Got to take the bin feeder out of the Pig Palace and twist the water barrel around to get the hog nipple out. We have a steer coming in and he would tear those two items up. No canning today! I pointed at the tomatoes covering the table this morning and exclaimed THEY’RE BACK!!!

No canning here either! Hope that makes you feel less guilty Bay.

Very overcast. While they say no rains, it's only a few miles off and it would not surprise to get scattered shower or two. Hope not. Mow the grass day s here!

Can I horn in with a chicken problem? I hate to start a thread because it’s simple I hope We had roosters processed and I put them straight into the freezer, no brine etc. I thawed one and baked him and wow, bullets could have bounced off. So I pressure cooked ol Spanky and he was only minimally chewable. He was active and lean but I’m guessing rigored too. How can I get the other birds in shape for cooking?

Simmer slowly all day or a couple of days in a crock pot.

I wonder if pressure canning them would make them more tender. Just wondering out loud.... or at least maybe pressure cooking - or like Bay said - simmer for a week or so in the crock pot!
