#gm frens and TGIF. Finish the week strong and the weekend stronger.

You forgot to apply the obesity filter.

Your mother smelled of elderflower and your father hid in shrubberies

You can just create stuff and not just consume it.

Thank you!

#gm frens. Today is an exciting day. Our house that we've been renting for 5 years is getting a new roof to stop numerous leaks. Once it's installed, the bank will send an appraiser and we'll be one step closer to becoming homeowners without even having to move.

Rad. It looks great

Grass clippings over woodchips?

Oldest, youngest and chickens.

Happy weekend frens #grownostr #growfood #growfamily

Is this the dip?

Books, canned goods, and jars of dried goods are my ideal decor, so shelves are pretty rad.

My dream house is built-ins everywhere

Is it plausible that early adopters with decent holdings will become power brokers on par with corporate and state actors?

I've had 3 small victories in the last week. First I replaced the drain pump on our clothes washer, it works now -- for under $50.

Next, my grandfather (77) and I built a 6×6 a-frame chicken coop with under $50 of materials (I forgot to tally), we'll have 6 chickens in it sometime this week.

Last, I just finished installing an RO system and dusted off my plumbers-assistant experience from nearly 3 years ago to do it. It took a bit to remember how to do everything, but it's all together, not leaking and dribbling out water for the first system purge.

I'll take some wins.

Holy strawberry patch batman.

And there ought to be a bumper concord harvest this year as well, as long as moisture stays consistent.

Tara gui with a good dark roast is nice sometimes. Not often, but sometimes.

Aight. I'm gonna say something crazy, and I hope my mate drinking brothers and sisters in South America don't hate me for it, but sometimes I like to use coffee instead of water when I drink mate.

I just needed to get that off my chest.

Happy Saturday frens. #grownostr

I've been using my lunches this week to build kidsteaders.com/launch-team/

It's in a very raw state, the buttons don't work and the terms and copy are likely to change somewhat. But I'd love input on what is there so far.

My coworker was talking about Alberta expressing interest in becoming an American state. I suggested trading California, Oregon or Washington.

Aw yeah

#gm frens. Happy Lord's Day. It's raining here, this passage came to mind: But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44-45 ESV

Brew root beer, smoke brisket, fix cabinet, see sheep

#Smoking some brisket, once it gets a good bit of smoke, my wife will take over and braise it with a barbacoa brine/marinade/liquid she makes. It's gonna be great!

Can you elaborate? I used to ferment in flip tops for a few days, then refrigerate. This time I'm doing it in a big jar, then I'll rack off of the sediment into flip tops. Is that what you're suggesting or are there other steps?

I generally think of it more as a probiotic, so I usually drink it pretty quick. I think a year or so ago I discovered a bottle in the fridge that was several months old and it was very tasty. I'm not sure how long it will keep though.

Its been a while since I last played this way.

2 liters water

3/4 (scant) cup sucanat (could probably use 1/2 a cup or less even?)

1 Tbsp sassafras bark

2 tsp cinnamon chips

1 tsp grated dried ginger

1/2 star anise pod

1 toasted cardamom pod

1 clove

3 allspice berries

Simmer on stove for a while then allow to cool to between room and blood temperature.

Pour to vessel and add ~1/4 cup of sourdough starter.

Wait.

I'll probably rack this into two 1 liter bottles in a few days.

Makes something between soda and beer. Sour flavor.

Well hi frens. I'm getting the last bits ready for Kidsteaders book 2, what do you think of this as a cover for a kid's book: #grownostr #kids #homesteading #kidsteaders #book #coverart
