      Smoked Pulled-pork enchiladas smothered in a home-made red sauce. Stuffed with fresh grated cheese and sliced sweet baby-bell peppers. Topped with crème and sriracha with a touch of cilantro.

      Cooked a one skillet hash with some of last seasons deer sausage. I smoked the sausage Thursday night and made the rest of the dish lastnight. Simple as simple gets, but fresh ingredients almost always equal a win at the dinner table. Just wish the veggies would have been home grown…next year.

      Another taco night lastnight. Tacos de carne deshebrada. My boy only has a few teeth, so he got the “deconstructed version” He had all the fixings and ate it all. It amazes me how much a toddler can put down!

      Last nights cook: 100% scratch made chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes and sweetcorn. I’m not sure why gravy packets are a thing…homemade is just as easy to make with three ingredients. Kansas-raised beef.

      Happy Sunday everyone, put that homemade bacon to good use with an eggs Benedict. The base is a potato cake with an avocado spread, creme, and grape tomatoes, the mrs. even plated this one. Bloody Mary’s are in the works as I type.

      Philly cheese steak bake. KS raised beef T bone, rather than traditional ribeye. Cut against the grain, the t bone works just as well.

      The meat birds are growing fast. Come Wednesday, they will be a full two weeks old. Feathers are starting to come
      On, and their legs are really beefing up. They are guzzling water and feed rapidly as they grow. They are approx 2.5x larger than when they arrived via mail.

      RafterW are you getting another side gig to pay for the propane for that stove?

      I’ll just rent it out to Jonathon on the weekends! For real though propane is going to burn fast @32K btu/burner.

      Here is my most recent great find. A 60” American Range unit. Double oven, 6 burner, griddle top and broiler below. This will be an excellent addition to my shop kitchen build. The lady bought it new and only used it to can on. Griddle and oven have never been used. $500 out the door.

      Jonathon If you don’t already know, Yoder has a pretty large animal auction on the last Friday of each month. Keim Auction is who puts it on. They often have fertilized eggs by the thousands that sell there. Its pretty wild lol, its where rednecks and the Amish/Mennonite gather in one place together haha!

      Jonathon who knows on the eggs, but it is worth a shot since you’ve got the equipment! Give it about a month in the incubator since you don’t know how old the eggs are, if nothing happens by day 30, I’d bet that nothing will happen.

    • RE: Self-Reliance: How do you?

      Tex_77 I haven’t put any thought into that scenario. The squatch would likely defeat my electrified perimeter netting and be able to unlatch the lid of the coop.

      I feel there is a story to the ninnescah Sasquatch, that I’m not privy to lol.

    • RE: Self-Reliance: How do you?

      mrobisr nice, these will hopefully be ready to process at 10 weeks. I’ve got a mobile coop wagon that I will move within a 650 square foot electrified net from Premier1. They will be about three days behind my cows in the pasture, the cows get moved daily, the premier1 fence will get moved every third day and their wagon/coop will get moved daily within the fencing.

      Main goal is to get a second source of manure on the pasture, while also spreading the cow manure, feeding on the fly larvae and foraging for insects to help reduce my feed cost for the chickens. This is why I chose a red ranger over a Cornish cross, these chicks are already scratching in their bedding at less than a week old!

      Secondary goal is the meat source from the chickens. I’m shooting for a target of no more than 1.66/lb of feed/bird over the course of 10 weeks, with the supplemental food source that the pasture offers.
