Birdshot: It’s What’s For Dinner!
Because you have not lived until you’ve spit out a little ammo at the supper table!
My Dad is a hunter. Years ago, he primarily hunted ducks and geese. Also many years ago, he and my husband took a trip to South Dakota:
Husband Father
The scene of the harvest in this mid ‘80s South Dakota picture, heads draped over the edge of the tailgate, is a familiar one to me. I remember being young, maybe 8 or 9, and taking a long time to get up the nerve to go TOUCH one of the lined-up fowl. Of course, at least in my memory, it is dark in the driveway. Very dark. No starlight, no moon, no nothing. Just a tailgate full of dead ducks, and for whatever reason I had myself convinced that if I were brave, I would go touch one. Laura Ingalls wouldn’t be afraid to touch one. [Read More…]

CSA day 2013-09-17
CSA is a great concept. You can probably find one in your area by talking to folks at your local farmers’ market or looking one up over on Local Harvest.
I get my box of produce from Riverbend Roots every Tuesday. This week I got quite a haul!

Brew 9/5/13
This was a fun, if hectic brew day. I should say brew night, as we got it done after work and it took us until about midnight! I had to run all the way back to my house to pick up the grain after I’d already arrived with all the other supplies at Phil’s house.
Phil and I have been brewing together since 2009, sporadically. We launched into it with about $100 of equipment and a kit. We were some combination of too busy and too unmotivated to start brewing with all grain (rather than using pre-made malt extract) until last year. For various reasons, this was the first time we’ve brewed in about 6 months.
