Because I have other snug deadlines coming up, I decided to post about soup (the soup on the stove at the moment) instead. This is another of this winter’s mix of dry beans and vegetables with some kind of meat (it’s varied, from October until now, mostly some kind of pork–a ham bone, scraps of Read More…

Goat TV, Horse Entertainment
It was warmer this afternoon and the horses whinnied eagerly when I came into the barn to mix up their supper, voicing their usual complaint that I am the slowest supper-preparing human on the planet, and my hideously slow prep means they could starve to death, falling in a heap of bones, if I don’t Read More…
