I know I haven't been around much. Here's why:
- Between Thursday of last week and yesterday, we processed and froze 84 pounds of venison.
- We killed our meat grinder.
- I made Shane a cake for his birthday, which was yesterday. I used this recipe, but made some changes to include cocoa and little molasses.
- I set up some Spicy Cranberry Relish to lacto-ferment. It should be done by Thursday.
- I made Make-Ahead Gravy for Thursday's feast.
- After using what I needed for the gravy, I canned 4 pints of perpetual chicken bone broth.
- I zested and juiced some lemons and limes for future recipes.
- I'm making these French fries to go with tonight's supper. I'm trying the twice-fried or double-fried method this time. These are between fryings. If you are interested, do a Google search. There are WAY too many results to link just one.
- I managed to work in a little bit of laundry and housework between other jobs.
- Somehow, I managed to find time to plan meals until the end of the year. Mostly just the main dishes, but it's a good starting point for more busy days ahead.
- And just for fun, we had dinner with some friends on Saturday evening.
I'm on a roll! If you don't hear from me by Black Friday, send a search party.
