Time to Plant

We started off the first weekend of spring with some hole digging. We planted seven more rhubarb roots. Well, eight if you count the one Big Man lobotomized from an established plant and we had to replant.

Two buckets of cow manure to add to the holes

We also made another big batch of homemade ketchup this weekend.

A throwback to last week, the pictures from our new chicken wing fryer.

And, speaking of chicken. We had a smoked chicken leftover from our last smoke. We cubed up the meat, then Cupcake made a batch of chicken salad for her lunch at work.

We also had a bunch of salmon left over from a grilled salmon dinner. Cupcake made fried salmon cakes with the leftover meat.

And last week was St. Patricks day. Everyone does corned beef and cabbage, but we are little off center, so we smoked a beef brisket. Boiled cabbage and corn bread for sides.

Then we had a couple of projects to report on. The first was a fresh batch of deodorant.

Then Kattie Grace got a new bed. Some assembly required. It only took us a couple of hours to assemble the bed, and there wasn't a single part tossed out the window or set on fire.

And speaking of Kattie Grace, she got the fever to cook again this weekend. She made a batch of cupcakes, and Big Man had four of them. Big Man does not usually indulge, so you know they rocked.

We added another batch of eggs to the incubator.

Plus, we just couldn't wait for the eggs to start hatching, so we picked up a box full of chicks at Tractor Supply. We got another batch of the penguin looking birds, we lost all but one of last years to the hawks.

Last but not least, we got a new washing machine. Apparently we do a lot of laundry, so we had to go commercial quality this time.

Then we ended with wings. Next week, there should be some hatched bird pictures. See everyone next week.
