Today we are adding 20 logs to the mushroom garden. Half oyster and half shiitake. The term that comes to mind is passive-food production. It will take two years for these logs to start sprouting mushrooms. But once they get going, they will produce for 3 to 5 years (depending on the diameter) over two years ago we started this and are now seeing the benefit. If every year we add 20 logs… could you imagine 10 years from now! (universe willing) It is a rewarding feeling to carve mushrooms off logs. Not to mention the nutritional content of #shiitake, #Lionsmane and #Rishi. Mushrooms have been a living food and medicine we’ve developed a relationship with for 10,000 generations. We are just trying to get back to some of that. #passivefoodproduction #mushroomlogs #comebacktoearth
My wife was the Hunter on this one and I played chef.
We cooked the venison backstrap from my wife’s seven point buck. I wet marinated the venison with red onion, avocado honey and green chili. I seared the venison in a hot cast-iron skillet inside our grill. Just a few minutes on all four sides, rotating the meat at intervals with tongs. Sliced it thin at 45° angle. Plated it with couscous and fresh greens.
Today, my wife and I have been married for 11 years. 11 years ago she said yes and every year, like a chapter in a novel, has folded me deeper in love with her. Today, she harvested this deer for our family. I thank the universe that she is my wife and mother of our children. She sent me these photos, an anniversary surprise, while I was working in Los Angeles., I am 3000 miles away. If I was home, this is something I would be doing for the family. But as I am here, working on projects to provide for our family, she picks up my rifle and walks into the dark forest before the sun came up this morning. #excelsior
Our son (9 yrs) harvested this squirrel on the last day of the hunting season. He skinned it, gutted and prepared the meat all by himself. He started the fire, made the spit, and set up his camp. He is mastering his environment. ( let’s see how long this stays up before the young, keyboard gangster living with their parents, flags this as adult content. 4th time posting this. Tumblr, this is not in violation of your community guidelines)
A single comment about who makes better sweet tea, made in the kitchen as their husbands watched football, led these to southern belles to sneak out back screen door, and settle things in the old fashioned way.
And though they fight for honor and pride, neither willing to back down from the other, they must hurry, as to not miss their husbands’ calls for more beer.
Chick-fil-A said it would end contributions to organizations known to oppose same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ rights, but the fast food chain’s announcement is being met with skepticism from a leading advocacy group.
The Georgia-based company said it was refocusing its philanthropic efforts on “education, homelessness and hunger.” As such, the company will no longer make donations to the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, both of which have a checkered history with regard to LGBTQ issues.
Drew Anderson, GLAAD’s director of campaigns and rapid response, remained skeptical of the company’s latest pledge. “Chick-fil-A investors, employees, and customers can greet today’s announcement with cautious optimism,” Anderson said in an emailed statement, “but should remember that similar press statements were previously proven to be empty.”
A first time for everything. @ncutigatwa@asaboppand@emmatmackey had a lot of “firsts” on their road trip through the South and it was truly just so pure.
Meanwhile in Mississippi… students counter protest against current state flag supporters. We envision a flag that represents everyone, one where there is no controversy and doesn’t bring division. One that truly represents us all. Shots by| IG @ellevogue
