New Kitchen Happenings....

Okay so this week we had a few new things to add to our kitchen "experience".

The first I have to share is "Cream Frache". OH MY GOODNESS.... I would give up ice cream and chocolate for this stuff!! (i have, lol ) Seriously that "fat" has taken away all other cravings...and my chocolate craving was a bit out of control. As a matter of fact when a lady walked out of the discount grocery with 2 BOXES of my FAVORITE ORGANIC Chocolate I was calm and cool and thinking, that's okay I just picked up some of the "GOOD STUFF" from a local farmer!!

Whats in the other jar? Well going out on a limb here!! It is a Kombucha Mushroom & starter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You see last Saturday I attended a Weston A Price gathering and a local farmer had some and my HUSBAND BOUGHT SOME!! (I was SHOCKED) it was STRONG (as it is supposed to be) but do you know what helped me get everyone to drink it? Mixed 1/3 apple cider-- YUMMMMMMOOOOOO I do think after a few of the mixes some taste buds will be forever changed!
(the mushroom is folded up in the jar...it will fit perfectly in a large gallon glass jar tomorrow)
WHAT IS THIS? TOTAL NOURISHMENT!! The best BANG FOR MY BUCK!!
BEEF BONES!! I am just thrilled to PIECES with this 35lbs of BEEF BONES!! YUMMMMM



And this is our last and latest experiment- Harvesting some BLACK Walnuts!! We'll see how that goes!?!

Laine's Letters

3 Years, it has been 3 years since I have updated this blog. Hoping to continue to journal our happenings. First I wanted to leave a link for Laine's Letters. Oh my these letters have been SOOOOO  encouraging to me like NOTHING else. She inspired me to spend my morning with the Lord, waiting on Him, listening to Him. She inspired me to love my husband and put him right after the Lord She inspired me to raise and love and train my children in many areas And lastly she even touched on keeping my home, to bring honor to the Lord. I want to come back (SOON) and print these off and put them in a binder for each of my daughters.   Hoping that one day these letters will inspired them as well. Laine's Letters archives

Immigrant 1880-1914 food budget

So we went on a mini field trip this weekend to the Johnstown Flood Museum and then to the Heritage Center -- "Through Immigrant Eyes, tells a national story in a local context. It captures the imaginations of visitors through its innovative use of interactive media. Rather than simply looking at artifacts, you'll actually experience the sights, sounds and even the smells of immigrants' daily lives, and come away with a more complete understanding of the sacrifices and achievements of these Americans in the making. As you enter, you'll choose a card with a photo of one of eight immigrant characters, who are fictional composites based on historical facts. You then experience the daily life of that character as you tour the museum. " Well the "foodie" in me-- found a few sights VERY interesting.... the entire center was very interesting.... but-- in 1880-1914 these were some signs we saw.... "It was terribly hard work, and we lived poorly, But we ate ...

The best way to get back in (for me) is a Day Book. I'm not sure if they even still have a "Simple Woman's Day Book" or not, but I always enjoyed them. Daybook for the week of June 12, 2016 Picture for the week........                                                The birthday boy -  He turned 12 on Saturday-- ( this picture is from Thanksgiving though, I haven't down loaded my phone pictures yet though.  ) Outside my window..... Things are green, and showers today have made my garden very happy I am thinking..... About starting in with some school for the kids next week. About dipping our feet in with some potty training. About the how very deep the spiritual side of adoption is, and how constant. I am thankful for..... ...
