Today is Let’s Make Mass Quantities of Egg rolls Day here at Chez Fern. I’ve posted the recipe before – tho’ I can’t find when I posted it here. It involved pork, shrimp, a whole lot of … Continue reading…

Boris Johnson is out of intensive care, and not by way of the morgue.
I worked in the garden, in the wind. I also chased down the buckets I use in the garden, which had blown all around the yard. The spinach still refused to sprout, as does the basil. I’ve lost hope for them, but not for the … Continue reading…
Grocery day.
Blessings Darlings!
Grocery pickup at Walmart went very well, aside from their useless phone app. They made one substitution, but … Continue reading…
It was for me only, not for all y’all.

I have set up a grocery pick up with Walmart, which I usually call The Evil Empire. I still worry a lot about their employees, but it’s certainly better for them that folks do pick up than shop.

So I went out earlier today and harvested a colander full of ‘wild greens’, mostly chickweed, but some purple dead nettle was in the bunch. Brought ’em in, cleaned ’em, chopped ’em, threw the lot of ’em in a … Continue reading…

Blessings Darlings!
Not for ONE MINUTE did I think that table salt would be an issue for us during ‘stay at home.’ But – here we are, and here it is. OTOH, I have … Continue reading…

It looks like the beets are sprouting today.
I’m bopping in and out of the house every 15 minutes for the next two hours, putting more soaked hickory chips on top of the charcoal in the smoker. Today is “Smoke a pork shoulder roast” at Chez Fern. It will be … Continue reading…

Now the turnips are sprouting!
