had a good experience at the student health clinic today. That's probably not a normal thing to say after having been to a doctor's office. I haven't
gotten over the flu 100% that I got at Christmas and my ears were
starting to hurt. Went in today and the NP confirmed that I have an
upper respiratory infection. <br /> <br /> Then she said, "I don't want to
freak you out but I'm not going to prescribe any antibiotics if that's
what you came here for." I told her I actually hadn't come in earlier
because I was afraid that was what they were going to do. She said new
research coming out of Europe is showing that antibiotics aren't that
effective in this sort of case.<br /> <br /> She recommended a nasal steriod
to help the inflammation go down so my sinuses can start draining and
using my neti pot. I couldn't believe it. She knew what a neti pot was? And was advocating it? Then she said I was dehydrated and needed 3L of
water today. She said that was a lot and for the third liter I needed
electrolytes. She recommended gatorade and I told her I wouldn't drink the stuff because of all the other garbage in it. She said she understood and to just drink
chicken broth instead or add some sea salt to water and have a banana. <br /> <br /> I was completely blown away that she didn't want to cram me full of antibiotics and send me on my way. What a relief! And she actually listened to what I had to say, asked intelligent questions, and I felt like my treatment options were within the realm of what I was comfortable with.</span></span></h5>

I've got Fridays off this semester and then Monday is a holiday so it should have been a fun four day weekend. Instead, I have been in my office most of the time working on a project for one of my classes. It's frustrating me to no end. So I'm taking a study break with my two buddies right now.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
A couple of years ago, we hired an artist friend of ours, <a href="http://www.debbiegraviss.com/note-cards/dogs" target="_blank">Debbie Graviss</a> to do their portraits. You can see them on her page if you scroll down and look for Julie and Annie. As part of the process, we had to take almost a million photos of the girls so she had a good photo to work from. Here are some of the outtakes and fun photos that came out of that process.</div>

That was fun because it was the first time I'd used the canner since we moved. Feels good to have a few things in the pantry again.<br />
<br />
Today it was back to the real world, or as real world as being a full-time student is I guess.<br />
<br />
When I got home I had a hankering for something warm and cozy to eat. Decided on French onion soup. Carmelized the onions for over an hour in the cast iron. Then I added some of the broth from the smoked chicken that I didn't can, and finally popped it in the oven to finish it with the cheese. It was exactly what we were craving. Then I'm also finishing up dehydrating 5 trays of mushrooms tonight. <br />
<br />
Finally, to round out the evening, there were four laying hens listed for free on craigslist. So, I went and picked up 3 sex-links and a black and white hen that I'll have to try and figure out when it's light outside. Unfortunately, their owner could no longer afford to feed them so she was giving them away. <br />
<br />
I've only been getting on average 2 eggs a day the last couple of weeks from nine hens and she said she was getting 3-4 from these gals so we'll see. My other 9 hens were also CL freebies earlier this fall. So now our backyard includes four Royal Palm turkeys, and 13 laying hens. <br />

I used to when I was learning to cook. Now I'm much more comfortable treating recipes as guidelines as demonstrated earlier this week... <br />

<br />
<br />
I was given this beautiful book for Christmas this year! It is full of wonderful things I want to make. For instance: brown butter ice cream, country-style terrine, salted butter tart, and the slow roasted pork belly with fennel and rosemary. However, I started with the duck fat biscuits with cracklings on page 141. <br />
<br />
It seemed like a pretty simple recipe. After all, there were only 7 ingredients. <b>Flour</b> -check. <b>Baking powde</b>r -check. <b>Sea Salt</b> check. <b>Chopped chives</b>... hmm -tarragon? Sure why not. <b>Duck fat</b>... uh no. But I do have some chicken fat that I skimmed off the top of some chicken soup last week. It has a few herbs and other stuff kind of mixed in but it should work. <b>Poultry cracklings</b>... never heard of such a thing. Oh well, why let that stand in the way of a delicious recipe. We'll just skip that part and continue on. And finally, <b>milk</b>. Well shoot, none of that either. But wait! I've got a pint of fresh raw cream. <br />
<br />
Okay, let's see here. Of the seven ingredients, I'm going to omit one, and substitute 3 of the remaining six. Sounds like a plan to me! Whipped it together, popped it in the oven. It turned out so divine that I'm not sure if I'll ever make the recipe the way it was written. Or then again I might -depends on what's in the fridge!<br />
<br />
So how do you cook? Pinches and dashes or cups and tablespoons?Provender Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067762861611164125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717022405565211075.post-13309591060240966982013-01-08T20:01:00.000-08:002013-01-08T20:01:21.212-08:00Smoked Poultry ProjectSmoking isn't for the faint of heart. It's not hard, but it's a process (this took us four days). It takes planning, and time. We started with one of our turkeys and one of our meat birds from this fall. <br />
<br />
First, the turkey went into a brine in the crock. I used my two stone weights to keep it submerged. After brining for about 18 hours, I took it out, rinsed off, and then put it in a pan in the fridge so that the skin could dry off for a day. While the turkey was in the fridge, I popped the meatie into the crock with the brine for 18 hours. Then I took it out, dried it off, dumped the brine, and put it in the crock so it could dry out. Luckily my canning closet in the garage is cold enough that I could put it out there due to lack of space in the fridge. Finally today, I fired up the smoker and got it up to temp while doing the final preps on the birds.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Now that's a knife!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
First I cut the birds in half with my trusty old cleaver. (The darkness of the blade is due to the high carbon content which means it can really hold an edge.) Cutting the birds in half allows them to cook more evenly. I held them upside down and used the knife to cut down the back, and then split the breast. Then I rubbed them with a wet rub. Finally, they were popped into the smoker at about 225* with some hickory and pinon needles until the leg joint moved freely. (I also threw in a couple of heads of garlic toward the end that I'll let stay in the smoker overnight to cool down and take out in the morning.)<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Okay, so what's the deal with this blog being called Provender Place and there's a picture of empty jars? Isn't provender food or provisions? So where's the food?</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
These jars represent things believed in and hoped for, but yet unseen. It
is the seed going in the cold March ground that will yield food in the
months to come. It is our eternal home in Heaven when our life here on
earth is done. It is the joy in seeing nature at her finest that no
camera can capture so you hold tight to the memory. It is the smell of
Grandma's kitchen. It is the thrill when your hand is caressed by your
beloved. It is the comfort of a cozy quilt, a good book, and a cuppa in front of the fire on a frosty winter evening. In short, it is the finest things in life! </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<br />
So here's some of the provender in the "empty" jars.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Safety & Trust</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe." Proverbs 29:25<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Joy</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
"But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You." Psalm 5:11</div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Peace</span><br />
<br />
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13</div>

DH started getting achy a couple of days ago and it turned into the full blown flu. I've been up and down with him and sore throat but it hasn't quite latched hold. We've been laying around napping and watching episodes of Poirot and napping and reading and napping...<br />
<br />
I've cranked up the OPC-3 doses, made homemade chicken soup with an added tea strainer full of ground rosehips for the extra vitamin C, and we've been staying hydrated.<br />
<br />
We're normally pretty healthy and haven't gotten sick more than once a year or so. When it hits, we're both miserable. What do you do for the flu?Provender Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067762861611164125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717022405565211075.post-68110544843605034082013-01-01T19:12:00.001-08:002013-01-02T15:50:38.823-08:00Weatherlore for the New YearI love old books. One of my favorites is <u>Handbook of Weatherlore </u>from 1873. It is a compilation of weather sayings and folklore from many different countries.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l433/neweditions/Blog%20Photos/102_2184_zpsfaf35033.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://i330.photobucket.com/albums/l433/neweditions/Blog%20Photos/102_2184_zpsfaf35033.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Here are some excerpts I found interesting.<br />
<br />
On cold:<br />
"A kindly good Janiveer freezeth the pot by the feer (fire)."<br />
"The blackest month in all the year, is the month of Janiveer."<br />
<br />
On a mild January:<br />
"If the grass grows in Janiveer, it grows the worse for it all the year."<br />
"January blossoms fill no man's cellars." -Portugual<br />
<br />
On a dry January:<br />
"When January is dry, the farmer does not complain." -Rhone<br />
"If January be dusty, we shall have to make our granaries of oak." -Italy (oak granaries due to the weight of the ensuing harvest.)<br />
<br />
"If one but knew how good it were to eat a pullet in Janiveer, If he had twenty in a flock, He'd leave but one to go with the cock."<br />
<br />
"When a woodpecker sings in January, keep your fodder till the morrow for it is a sign of snow or rain."<br />
<br />
It was also believed that January weather could foretell the weather and events for the rest of the year. New Year's Day was the Feast of the Circumcision. If it falls on a Tuesday, "a stormie winter, a wet summer, a divers harvest, corne and fruite indifferent, yet hearbes in gardens shall not flourish, great sicknesse of men, women, and young children. Beasts shall hunger, starve and dye of the botch, many shippes, gallies and hullkes shall be lost, and the bloodie flixes shall kill many men, all things deare, save corne."<br />
<br />
Kind of a dark prediction, but like any modern day horoscope, all the rest of the days of the week predicted other serious disasters and gloom and doom. They could all pretty much apply to any year! Anyway, much more entertaining than the weather channel I think. Okay, I can't resist. Here's a couple more relating to snow and winter.<br />
<br />
"If the sun falls on the snow, there will be snow, and snow, and snow yet again."<br />
"Corn is as comfortable under the snow as an old man in his fur coat." -Russian<br />
<br />
<br />

The sky or the wind?Provender Placehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067762861611164125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5717022405565211075.post-18450838429679554862012-12-31T18:08:00.001-08:002013-01-02T16:00:21.229-08:00Reflections<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Today is a day to reflect back on the past year so that tomorrow, we can sit down and put together our goals for 2013. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Here were some of our blessings and adventures in the past year: </div>
<ul>
<li>Bought a new to us truck to help with the move & replace my old Subaru. We bought it off of craigslist and it had a bad tranny so we bought it without even test driving it! Luckily everything turned out good once we had a new transmission put in.</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>We bought a house in the Northwest, sight unseen so I could go back to college and finish my degree and be closer to family. The great thing was, when we got here, it had a secret room nobody had told us about!!! A pantry! This is half of it, the other half has deeper shelves. It's about 4' x 10'. Now I just need to fill it with jars!</li>

Today is cold and the snowflakes are so fat and lazy, they

beef and veggie stew and a nap, is the perfect time to organize our smoking
project for next week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have two
turkeys, a rack of ribs, some almonds, and some jerky I’d like to smoke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And anything else interesting you may
suggest!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve got a book about smoking
and a couple of websites to check out so I can make my ingredient lists for the

times so that everything can be ready at the same time.</div>
