Remember when I went flounder gigging? Well, tried…mostly I was just wading around playing like I was a 12 year old. I mentioned seeing a lot and even catching some shrimp, and wanting to do it again, specifically targeting shrimp. Well I noticed one shrimp that was much larger than the rest, and was

Where there’s smoke…..
This weekend seemed to be a weekend full of smoke for me, or those around me…. One source of smoke was
Post-Op Ramblings…
I’m feeling much better today, able to move around with a lot less pain. Now to get back into a more “regular” sleep pattern. I’ve been sleeping most days and up most nights for the last few days, throwing off everyone’s daily routine. My posts have been irregular at best, and I’m feeling like getting […]
Baby Duck (NOT the wine!)
We had a recent addition to the back yard – ten baby duck hatched out last Saturday! Not a bad result from 13 eggs that were in the nest.

Salt – An Over-looked long term storable and Brining 101
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 […]
Thrifty Food Buy and Uses for 22 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. This week, a little change, I […]
