Notes From the Kitchen

It's been a rainy morning here on the farm, and according to the web it's only going to be about 72 degrees today. Add to that I collected 6 more eggs this morning and I decided to spend the day in the kitchen. So far I've made a veggie quiche, and a squash pie, a pan of brown sugar brownies is waiting on the oven and for dinner there will be chicken and dumplings. Only dinner will not use eggs and I still have about 3 dozen in the fridge. I see another quiche around the corner.

Veggie quiche: Tomatoes, zucchini, green peppers and eggs all from the farm. I did wimp out on the crust and use a pre-made one.

Here you see 1 jumbo pink banana squash. It's an heirloom variety that cooks up very similar to a pumpkin. Bake it, add some spices, eggs and milk and you get....

a pie that hopefully is very pumpkin pie like. Again, I cheated and used a store bought crust.

The brown sugar brownies are waiting patiently for their turn in the oven. Willow however is most excited about those and is not as patient. She does enjoy making a quiche though since breaking eggs is her kitchen favorite. Very productive day in the kitchen- now I just need someone to do the dishes. *sigh*

New Recipe & Product - World's Best 100% Whole Wheat Cereal

All right, so since you can't have "Real Food, The Way It's Supposed To Be" without breakfast, and even Chuck can't eat eggs EVERY morning, we're going to see if anyone is interested in what we're calling "The World's Best 100% Whole Wheat Cereal".

What we do is take triple washed hard white wheat and hand-crack it with our Country Living Grain Mill, then package it in clean, durable #10 coffee cans. One coffee can is good for about 1 full month's worth of filling, delicious, high-fiber breakfasts.

For details and nutritional information, check it out below. It is YUMMY.....

Worlds Best Wheat Cereal

A Night Off

We just had a down pour on the farm that has left puddles in the fields. Since picking veggies is out of the question (unless I want to lose shoes in the red mud) I ran around around with my trusty Nikon.

The grapes are ripening nicely

So are the apples

And by request, a picture of Hammy, the ornery rooster.

Tomorrow, I'll have to pull double duty. The zucchini and squash are going to grow audibly tonight. But for now I'm happy with the pretty pictures.
