I gave a whole rabbit to SB a week or so ago, and he let me know a few days later that he ended up smoking it whole – something I’ve not yet tried, but wanted to do. One of the things that I was concerned with is that rabbit, being a rather lean meat (but not […]

My take on “Rabbit starvation”
Stumbling around, I came across a very nice website called The Wannabe Homesteader, and found some great info about starting tomatoes. The next day’s post was about rabbits, specifically, Why Rabbit Meat is Not The Best Survival Food. The author raised the question, “..should a person include rabbit meat as a back-up plan for survival situations? […]
Thrifty Food Buys for 9 August 2012
This is my only “regular” weekly post, and it revolves around stores in my area, and food that we eat. We practice “Eat what you store, store what you eat”. Since I try to eat “Paleo”, this means very little food that includes any grains, legumes, or refined sugars. I will have a few of […]
Cooking with Canned Rabbit, or “How does it REALLY taste?”
Yesterday I wrote about canning rabbit. Today, I’ll cover what it actually tasted like, and what I did with the first jar I opened. As I mentioned before, the smell while it was processing was VERY

Went to work in the midst of a stalled tropical storm. The job was located in a gated golf community, NOT my favorite place to be. Job didn’t pan out either. Lovely. Gray skies mirrored m attitude. Bleh.
Summer crops for coastal South Florida, Zone 9B / 10A – Alternates
I called this one “Alternates” since I have several other plant options for summer gardening in south Florida, but they aren’t as important to me (yet?), though I may have grown, or am growing them now.
Making your own All Meat Dog treats
Man’s best friend. If you are a dog person, you understand this phrase. (If you are a cat person, why are you even here? You should be in therapy NOW!) Until last year, I had been without a dog in my life for almost two decades, and I thought that was OK. Since adding Muse […]

kin·dle/ˈkindl/ Verb: Light or set on fire. Arouse or inspire (an emotion or feeling). To give birth to young. Used especially of rabbits. Fire is something I’ve written about several times, and is one of the major skills in survival circles. Since this blog is for expanding my circles of knowledge, […]
Bamboo SCORE!
I received an email from a friend last week regarding my search for bamboo. Her significant other, Scott, owner & operator of “Chomp’n Grass Landscape Design & Maintenance” (772- 209-1729), had a line on some bamboo for me. He called me the next day, and we arranged to meet Friday morning. Scott is the guy […]
