We are battening down the hatches here because the mama farmer doesn’t like to be cold!!!!! So all the animals have extra bedding and hay and I’m going to hibernate while everyone else does chores! Just kidding, but I am happy to be cooking and doing indoor jobs! At the least the room in the barn that we do our seeding in is heated. I did turn the heat up a little, I hope the wood choppers don’t mind!
We are up to our ears in puppy snuggles, they are opening their eyes and are super cute! The calf is romping around in the barn and doing great. We still haven’t named her, but we love snuggling her. When it gets a bit warmer she’ll move to a hutch closer to the cabin for all to enjoy! For now, she’s loving the barn life!
OK, let’s talk soup for a minute. I have been cranking out the soup lately. My new best creation is Chicken Thai soup. I think I made a different one a few weeks ago, but my new one is yum! I just cooked a frozen chicken in the instant pot (for quick easy prep), pulled the meat and chopped it. Then I add the bones to some broth I had going on the stove already to keep the broth going! I took some broth from the last batch and chopped my Tat Soi (it’s the green bouquet type of veggie from this week) and some thinly sliced carrots, diced onions and mushrooms, chopped fresh ginger and garlic and a little fish sauce. No measuring necessary, just wing it! It was a hit! We added rice noodles to the second batch to pretend we were at a restaurant!
Pick up tomorrow may be a little slippery so we will be putting CSA out by 10 AM incase the weather holds off and you want to come early. If you can’t make it here we will put the shares in the fridge for pick up anytime next week. If you won’t be coming to pick up your shares, please let us know so we can donate your produce to someone else.
Enjoy!
Blessings,
The Bakers
