Chilly!

It's 16 degrees this morning.
We have lost power twice.
Have the fireplace going
And it is really nice!

(Yes, I know my poem is beautiful. :) It goes along with Erin's Lit lessons.).

Carne Guisada

Here is the oft requested Carne Guisada recipe as given to me by Charlie Calvert many, many years ago... 1 boneless roast (like a shoulder roast) Ground cumin/comino 2-3 cloves garlic 1 chopped onion 1 can chopped green chilis Salt and pepper Put the roast in a crockpot. Cover one side generously with the ground cumin (probably 2 or so tablespoons). Add in the garlic, onion and chilies. Salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low either all day if serving in the evening or overnight if preparing for breakfast. When done. Remove the roast. Shred the meat and throw away any fat. Return the roast to the crockpot and thicken the gravy with flour and water (on high for a while) if needed. Serve on tortillas with pico, salsa, cheese, etc. Enjoy!! .

JAKES Day

Back in June, we attended an event called JAKES Day sponsored by the National Wild Turkey Federation. What an incredible event! It was held at the YMCA Roberts Ranch in Comfort. A Jake is a young turkey and "JAKES" stands for Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Skills. During this event, kids were broken out in groups by age. Each group had an adult leader that took them from event to event. They did fishing, bb guns, 22's, shotguns, archery, learned about turkey calls (during a fabulous BBQ lunch!), learned about bird dogs, learned about hunting safety and hunting ethics. All supplies, weapons and ammo were provided. They had a ton of prizes donated for the winners in each age group at each event. Super volunteers! An amazing day! Here are a couple of photos of Erin - she caught the very first fish of the day. :) .

Chicken Wrangler

These are four, relatively new, Barred Rocks that have been recently moved to the big coop. Unfortunately, it is taking them a while to figure out how and when to go in at night. Here is Erin carrying all four at once to the coop! .
