I’m THE WEST VIRGINIA WOMAN, host of The Holstein House Podcast, proprietor of Holstein House B&B. Happily married since 17Mar21. I enjoy food prep and storage, gardening, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks

Good morning all y’all! 🥶 Baby it’s cold outside! Stop sending snow my way! LOL

Swept the front walk twice since 6 AM EST. Fine light snow you can barely see.

I am just finishing starting some seeds.

I have some onions, lettuces, kale, peas, chives, parsley, and carrots. Normally you wouldn’t start carrots but these are in the peat pots so I’ll just stick them in a large one later. I do 99% of my garden in containers.

I still need to get some Swiss chard, celeriac, and the regular kitchen herb garden seeds.

Back from the food pantry. Working on a second knotted throw. This one for the lady in the bed next to MIL, who keeps taking hers. Yes, MIL’s initials are on her’s but when you are in a nursing home where patients have memory issues, well.

I gave him my heart and he consumed it!

Beef heart. I gave him my beef heart stew. LOL

Thanks! It was just hectic. Glad I could help Mr. Holstein out. So technically we spent the whole Valentine’s Day together. 😁

Read that again …

I was going to make a cute valentines image using the beef heart I cooked. Instead, I had to dash off to get Mr. Holstein when his car broke down on the way to work. So, instead I will share this image from the passenger seat as we drive back home so he can put the trailer on his truck and go get his car 45 miles away.

I used the ancestral blend in the sauce.

I tried a bite before putting it in the stew. It was good.

I am tackling this today! A little in ancestral blend, some being “pickled”, the rest in stew. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #winter #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

I have the same thing here. There are many just outside my back yard up very high. I’ve noticed the same over the years. Always gives hope for spring. 🌼

Thawing beef heart, and liver to try a recipe tomorrow. Have you tried beef heart? Share your favorite way to make it.

Good morning all y’all! it’s 38°F/3.3°C in the Holstein House poultry house, in my part of Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA!

Sure does! Reach across the fence instead of grabbing while in the yard. 😁

Good morning all y'all. Running behind on the socials. Four duck eggs this morning. My oldest girl, a Pekin, is 7. Two chicken so far but they aren't all on the same schedule yet. LOL

Loading the final few things in the car to drop at the thrift shop. Lots of clothes, a monster heavy old 1970's ish pressed wood table, miscellaneous stuff. Then run by the tractor store for some feed and pine shavings, to WW to get some milk and fresh stuff, plus dad's Rx.

I need a vacation already. LOL

One and three quarters inch of rain here between 9:00 pm last night and 9:00 am today. More expected tonight.
