Any fiber crafters here?
I get so joyfully excited about a freshly wound ball of yarn.

Sourdough discard pancakes on the blackstone during the power outage post Helene.
2 C. Flour
1 C discard
2 tsp baking power
1 tsp baking soda
3 T sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 1/2- 1 3/4 C milk
Mix together and let sit for 5-10 minute before cookings. Will be a little lumpy.
One if the mixes I’ve worked on for a handful of generations. Originating parents were Black copper marans and crested cream leg bars with welsummers mixed in along the way.
A little homestead harvest from earlier this week. The edge Helene has been dumping on us since the morning with no end in sight. I probably won’t see eggs this clean for at least a few days. #grownostr
A mix, but mostly the brown turkeys are coming in right now. Several varieties are barely setting fruit here in middle SC
My favorite food in the wide world. #grownostr
Scuppernong and Muscadine season. (Wild Grapes)
A friend gifted these, and I’m going to pick more today. I ate so many my lips went a bit numb, so now I’ll make wine with the rest. #grownostr #foodstr
I lost two lambs today. These two guys were in rough shape when I found them. Thankfully, with some intervention, I think they will pull through. I suspect selenium deficiency, and am moving my sheep over to the highly recommended Duraferm mineral and supplementing all the lambs born in the last week.
My heart is heavy today. Farm life is beautiful but not for the faint of heart.
Attention, please. #sheep #grownostr #homesteading https://video.nostr.build/03105e4e9fc3fc1d066cf1d7a97af63343ca195ee507adbec1b6e42f2e63d2c3.mp4
Garlic confit has no business being so good with how easy it is. Spread on crusty bread, mashed into potatoes, topping a bowl of hash or eaten clove by clove, I love this stuff.
Whole peeled garlic cloves
Covered in olive oil
Added some fresh parsley, salt and pepper flakes.
325 degrees for 45 or so.
The cloves get all soft and mellow, and the oil becomes sweetish garlic-infused magic. #tastynostr #grownostr
Born during a brief break in the rain on Thursday as the tropical storm sat over South Carolina. Jersey/Devon cross. Possibly a future family dairy cow. Nostr, meet our newest calf, Little Debby. #grownostr
No ACV though, just honey so much thicker and used more like a condiment
Fermented hot pepper/garlic honey underway. Would it be weird to set a two week countdown on my phone and wait eagerly by?
Cup of sliced garlic cloves
6-8 sliced chili peppers
One diced onion
A handful of thyme
Covered by a quart of honey
Cover with something breathable and leave it on the counter for two weeks. Don’t seal, it’s going to be gassy and need to breathe.
You could make less, but why would you? #grownostr #tastynostr
Foraged Chanterelles with nostr:npub132h6042qm8eywpz806aq7w0vyjmav4pehn6c3vzdd8xy9zhlfs4qwwe2yu and loaded the freeze dryer while the local peaches side-eyed me because they’ve been waiting to be processed for 3 days.
