Greenstorm's Journal

Note a menu is a list of things to select from, not a to-do list to accomplish all of

Things to do:

Fire (consolidate brush, light fire, feed fire, haul stumps to sit on, poke fire, cook marshmallows over fire)

Talk.

Mushrooms (heat wax, drill holes, pound in dowels, cover with wax, must all be done in relatively quick succession)

Sauerkraut (cut cabbage and hot peppers and maybe root veg, salt cabbage etc, pack cabbage etc into crock)

Render lard (thaw fat a little, chop/grind fat, put fat into crock pots or oven)

Make soap (make recipe, mix lye, mix fats, heat fats, combine, pour into molds)

Harvest rose hips

Cover straw

Muck out barn (I suspect no one will want to do this)

Help me move the tailgate

Feed baby muscovies

Scritch pigs

Hunt for eggs

Check bucket hen for chicks

Organize carport

Split and/or stack wood

Kill and process roosters

Vanilla comparison

Squash comparison

Food:

Eggs (boiled, scrambled, frittata, custard, those steamed dashi ones, devilled (avocado instead of mayo?))

Potatoes (mashed, fried or roasted in lard or goose fat, lemon-greek, latkes, other)

Squash (roasted savory or sweet, soup, stuffed, honeyed)

Carrots (roasted, pickled, soup, candied, other)

Cabbage (fried, ethiopian with carrots, salad)

Pork (roast, pulled, in peach BBQ sauce, fried chops, ground as sauce for potatoes, ground as meatloaf or burgers, quick sausage, bacon)

Goose (breast rare, confit roast body)

Chicken (stewed with dumplings, soup)

Rice (topped with pork sauce, goose confit, sardines, mixed pickles, chili crisp, maggi, fried egg, and/or steamed or fried greens)

Breakfast hash with bacon or quick-sausage and an egg on top

Casseroles involving many of the above and hot peppers, bonito, kelp, berbere, lemon, many fermented bean things, canned tomatoes, mixed pickles, who really knows, I do have a lot of spices

Applesauce (grape, vanilla)

Meringues

Chocolate lava cakes

Smores

Optional, need to buy ingredients for:

Mega caesar salad, need romaine

Doukhabour borscht, Kris' recipe (oh shoot, there will be two Krisses)

More smores, need more g/f graham crackers

Something with fried mushrooms

Deep fried things, I need to get un-flour-contaminated corn starch or use my tapioca starch since my normal use corn starch is certainly contaminated with gluten. Squash tempura? I could make the dipping sauce easily

Prep:

Maybe I should pre-cook some potatoes to make a frittata fast and easy, or hash browns or whatever.

Get cream for Kelsey's coffee.

Get more milk.

Boil some eggs for snacks.
