Just a reminder, my garden is 3 acres, from the front door to the street is 100 paces. from the back door to the back border is 120 paces. I am always walking about picking up sticks/branches something when out.

Alone in 3 acres it is worth carrying your mobile, let's face it something stupid always happens sooner or later and it's good to be able to be in touch, my missus insists on it, and I am only on a quarter acre. I don't say about it works both ways, I can feel easy about her knowing she can call me too, somehow she thinks it is just me that gets hurt
Any way, check out 'fitness', it will be on the phone somewhere, and you will find there is a step counter, so you can be productive, enjoy the peace, still be in touch if you want, and have the fun of knowing how far you go.

My wife is the same way, always worried about me. Except she's the klutz.

Yes, I'm the one performing the dangerous actions but I'm aware and have balance!

meat pie, have gravy for it and salad. It's actually leftover meatloaf, with big dollop of carmelized onions on top and shredded Chedder cheese, pastry wrapped.

as an e emergency gravey I use this. Find it tastes better than any jar one. But not as good as homemade. Keeps well in fridge. Got on Amazon.

Recently my attention is on the home flour mills, using whole grain wheats etc. while I have yet to really start major research regarding its still interesting. Some things I need to chew on, is that its only the two of us, and we really don't eat that much bread. And I do have a lovely store down 20 mins from me that sells better bread than regular grocery stores, but probably does not mill their own flour. Still pondering. I hear the cost of the mill is high. Just thoughts for now.

We use a bread maker. The thing that convinces me is when I read the list of ingredients in bought bread, mine is yeast, flour, sugar, salt, butter and water, no flour 'improvers', palm oil, or any of those things I can't pronounce. Truly, some sliced, fancy, bought breads have a long list of ingredients on the packet and I reckon those that don't come packed are probably similar. The breadmaker makes a good pizza base as well, and cakes, but I have never tried that, it takes all the work out of kneading even if you don't let it actually bake the bread and take it out to make buns, almost as good a work saver as a washing machine.
PS, ever read Cottage Economy by Cobbet (The one who wrote Rural Rides)? A hilarious comparison between bread and potatoes, nothing makes a woman as fair and healthy as kneading apparently

I picked up a few turkeys on sale, 2 down and I'm still not tired of it yet lol. I'm going to make some turkey pot pies and freeze them.

 

[Esther Knapicius]

I love turkey. Yep, make the pies also from Thanksgiving leftovers. @pepper2.0

don't forget the good Turkey Bone broth, can freeze that also. Boy that nice roasted wing calling my name

We do that with hams, pork loins and corned beef after the respective holidays pass. Stores put them on sale for a deep discount. We've thought about turkey but nobody really wants the dark meat.

Maybe we can dehydrate it to be dog treats? Hmmm.

Dark meat, my favorite.

When I hard boil eggs I put a few drops of color into the water, just looks pretty in the fridge and no need to write the letter H on them.
