Dwell in Possibilities
Jun. 19, 2007
We're at it again.

Well Amy (Poshred1), Jennifer (Flossy's owner), and Myself are doing bulk cooking again on Thursday.  It was so much fun, and a huge success by the way.  It has been so nice to go to the freezer and pull out 1# of seasoned ground turkey,  turkey meatballs, or bierox , and whip something up for dinner.  IT has saved me so much time and energy.  We've been talking about doing this for over a year, and I thought it would be nice to have the food in the freezer, but I thought it would be more fun having someone to prepare it with.  Well the fun was all I thought it would be, but the blessing of the prepared food has way exceeded my expectations.  This time we are making sauces and tortillas.  I have borrowed my friend Janna's tortilla and flat bread maker that she bought from the Urban Homemaker.  We are really looking forward to it.  We are making spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce,, chili gravy, loves sweet syrup (yum), rice, and I suppose whatever else we have a hankering to make.  We are also getting ready for a chicken slaughter on Saturday.  Our friend Shawnee has a friend who is a farmer.  He has 100 chickens that he has raised for us, free range, grain fed, with no vaccines or any hormones whatsoever.  We are anticipating delicious chicken.  We are slaughtering at Amy's house.  I am in charge of the burn pile where we will burn skins, beaks, feet, ewwww.  I would rather do this, than slaughter.  Several of us mommies are getting together with the farmer to slaughter, clean, package, and get on ice 100 chickens.  He also has 3 cows that are clean, grassfed (some hay, it's been so dry lately), no hormones, that we are splitting.  My family is getting 1/2 of a cow.  We will be sure to take alot of pictures so we can fill everyone in on our adventures.  We thought it would be a great experience for the children to have this knowledge as well.  Take care.

In Christ Jesus,

Geanine
