We finally started adding a little Christmas around here. First we went and found a tree. That's Deer Boy hauling it home while his little sister carries the saw.
Next Little Sister did most of the decorating.
The more ornaments the better.
We baked a few different types of cookies.
And I packaged up some products to give as gifts. My relatives get this stuff every year. I sure hope they like it.
The woodstove is going, the tree lights are on, supper's in the oven and the Lord's blessings are evident. Have a wonderful evening.
Well, this morning there's a nice, nippy feel to the air. The thermometer reads -20, and thank you Lord, all the critters are fine. A bit frosted up, but fine.
This is the view from the window by my computer this morning.
Going out to do chores, our Newfie is frosted over.
Here's my Angora buck all toasty with his sweatshirt on. He was too busy eating his pumpkin to pose for the camera.
Here are some frosty heifers.
And last of all...the frosty farmer.
Have a wonderful day and a cup of hot chocolate.
This is so simple and it tastes great. I was making out my grocery list and decided to make this salami instead of buying lunch meat for my honey's lunch pail. I used to make it all the time and thought I'd share the recipe.
4lbs. ground beef-75% lean
4 t. sea salt
1 1/2 t. garlic powder
1 1/2 t. black pepper
3 T. Worchestershire sauce
1 t. liquid smoke
Mix all ingredients together and put in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Then, divide into fourths and roll each fourth into a log-Make sure meat mixture is firm. Place logs on a rack in a pan and back at 225 for 4 hours. Allow to sit for awhile when they come out of the oven. Wrap up in foil and freeze or put in fridge. My son eats this up so fast that I don't usually freeze it. It doesn't taste like store bought salami, but it is good.
