Another home grown meal Supper tonight was pork schnitzel, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, stewed apples. mmmmmmmmmmmm...... Everything raised here except the butter that went in the mashed potatoes, and I'm working on that.... I don't know what percentage of our food is home raised, but it's pretty high.

Re: Another home grown meal We ate the Cheesecake Factory on Pearl Street in Boulder. Crispy Beef and Chocolate/Coconut Cream Cheesecake. I'm pretty sure that will all be available 36 hours after our 7.0 Earthquake.

Re: Another home grown meal I'm working toward that level of self sufficiency but I haven't made it yet.

Re: Another home grown meal Homemade shepherd's pie here last night. My daughter is an amazing cook. I must give her the credit there, as it is her recipe using our own lamb and chicken broth and veggies that were either home grown or grown by neighbors. The side was applesauce made from apples the neighbors let us pick off their tree. Dessert was ice cream that was made by a local dairy farmer who lives about 5 miles away (traded him some lamb for some ice cream) topped with peaches that we canned last fall from another neighbor's overflow. If you can't grow it all yourself...barter for it from something you can do/grow yourself. It tastes so much better that way! :yes: Life is good...

Re: Another home grown meal Was that the piggy that went to market? ...or the one that stayed home.

Silver Belle | 01-20-2010 04:11 PM
Re: Another home grown meal Definitely the one that stayed home!

I might just be me, but of the two pigs, one did go to the meat market and one did stay home and was killed and butchered at home and the one that stayed home taste a lot better than the one that went to the market. They are both great, but when you do it yourself it makes it even better.

Re: Another home grown meal Hey Andy, good thread. I'd questimate about 35% of our daily meal's contents are from our gardening and canning production. Another 25-35% is from local/friends/venison/meat/egg production. The rest is LTS dry beans/rice/legumes etc. Plus the unheated greenhouse is still provideing salad greens. Dairy products are store bought, maybe 10%. Creative cooking saves bucks and is healthy, plus we just hate going to the store.

Re: Another home grown meal I cooked a tasty vegetable stew last week and everything except the English roast was home raised. The roast came from the half beef I bought last April. My neighbor raises the best beef around here and they are as close to organic as a person can get. My stew consisted of sweet corn, peas, broccoli, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and green beans. It makes me feel good knowing I grew those vegetables myself. Plus it is so much healthier and tastes better.

Re: Another home grown meal I passed through the Memphis airport on my way back from the FUN show last Sunday. Could not resist the Interstate BBQ shop and bought a couple pounds of pulled pork and a few racks of ribs. The ribs are dinner tommorow night, the pulled pork is already gone. I have a full hog in my freezer from a farmer friend, but sometimes you have to live a little. :-)
