I was told that my method of fire roasting a coconut was wrong. I countered with “I wasn’t given any details!.” Well, I got my details. Apparently, I am supposed to

Roasted Dutch Oven Chicken (Extra Crispy!!!) Part 2
So as poorly as it went the first time, you would believe it if we simply gave up and never tried again. However, there were a few
Roasted Dutch Oven Chicken (Extra Crispy!!!) Part 1
We have been wanting to go do some more camping before the heat got too oppressive at night (no A/C in the tent- yet), so wanted to get a cast iron dutch oven (DO), the kind with legs and a flat lid to put the charcoal on. We opted for a Lodge 6 quart camp […]
What to do with thirty Quail Eggs
My quail are getting up to speed in the egg laying, with the 5 hens giving me 4-5 eggs a day for the last week. This adds up quickly when we are usually eating the chicken eggs (now that I’ve found the secret egg-laying lair). Since quail eggs are much smaller than a chicken egg, […]

Rib-eye on sale, or “A Paleo Opportunity knocks”
I have been living the Paleo lifestyle for over 5 months now, and I am finding it easier every day to now think about how much I miss bread. For those unfamiliar with “Paleo”, basically, it is zero grains, zero legumes, zero refined sugars. This means no oatmeal, no biscuits, and no gravy. Lots of […]
Tomolives, Pickled Green Tomatoes, or “What to do with excess veggies”
Late last summer, I had a bid of a personal riddle: I hate waste. Growing things in a garden has been a battle for each veggie produced. Somehow I had a glut of green cherry tomatoes as I was about to clear a bed in order to plant fall crops. And in my typical fashion, […]
