I rendered down the rest of our tallow this weekโ€ฆall 25 pounds has been cooked down/cleaned up and we wonโ€™t have to worry about running out of it for quite a while, now I just have to clean up the strainers and funnel that I used while filling the jars, wait for them to all cool and store them. Then we will have officially completed another goal. YAY! ๐Ÿ˜Š

We made some mini sub buns this week to go with our roast beef, fries, and gravy. ๐Ÿ˜Š

We also made a batch of our regular buns to enjoy, with our chili, over the weekend. ๐Ÿ˜Š

This little weasel made the mistake of killing our chicken Pansy, but it wonโ€™t get the chance to get any more of them. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Your buns always look so delicious! Bet you are sure glad those pumpkins are done! Did you order the books or were they a gift? Too bad for the weasel. It sure was a pretty animal, but not one you want around chickens.

Welcome back lovely lady, thanks for visiting! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Awe, thank you very much, that's so nice of you to say. I've really enjoyed learning how to make bread from scratch; it wasn't something I was interested in learning, when I was younger, but have really embraced making our food since the plandemic hit. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Yes, it is, it was a beautiful critter, but we gave it a stern talking to and a second chance after it grabbed one of our old hens last week, so attacking was strike three and they had to go. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The books were my birthday present to myself, since my birthday is next week. I enjoy gifts that are practical, educational and/or nice to look at and these books are exactly what I was looking for. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'm tuckered out after a day of laundry, dishes, baking, and cooking, so I'm going to say goodnight, and I'll chat with you again soon. ๐Ÿ˜Š

God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! ๐Ÿ˜Š

My birthday is this week! Looks like you picked some good birthday presents! I haven't decided what I'm going to get myself.

Oh, nice. Happy Birthday! I hope its a fantastic one for you! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you, they're all books I've been thinking about getting for a few months and I'm looking forward to get a lot of use out of them all. ๐Ÿ˜Š
