Tackle It Tuesday

The Morning started off with a big event.
Our truck has been ransacked. The took 5 gallons of fuel and left everything else.
The truck it appears was locked and they just opened all the doors and left one locked. If one was locked they all were ( I use a key bob).
I did report it to the authorities.

Thank you is first up in the day.
To our mystery gift giver...I received the book. Thank you That was very kind and generous of you. You gave me pause for gratitude.


The kids are in the chicken coop.

My Darling scratched his glasses yesterday so I'll need to see what can be done for him. Done (glasses can not be fixed) and got him an appointment. Last appointment he had was in 2005! It is about time!

I'll need to mail a letter and stop by the health food store to get some fever few (great stuff for Hubby's headaches.) Done!

I want to have the kids shred some news paper to begin a worm compost. I'll need to see if I can find some red wigglers. I will begin a compost of the stuff the cooks do not eat. Doing a worm compost I will also begin to create some castings to amend this sad soil. There is a wonderful blog on my side bar "Down to Earth", she has been tending this type of life for some time and shares her knowledge generously.

I have to package and freeze the meat order I prepared yesterday.

I could not pass up this deal. I needed to do a meat order for I had just 2 pounds of last springs order left.

I cooked down around 5 pounds to have for quick meals.

Before Doves ortho appointment I was able to get them bagged to cool.

With the center the first roast I had all lean lightly marbled (tender) section of bottom round. Sliced thin for a stir fry this week. I set it to marinade in the refer.

Then ground (mix up the meat while you grind to distribute the marble if you do not then your patties will fall apart) the rest of the first roast. I washed it all down and put fresh bags down and began on the next roast. I still have to weigh out my one pound bags. I will weigh them and then roll them thin to quick freeze. See the little bit of scrap on the bag that is all the scrap there was in the first roast.

Here is six pounds of 1/4 pound for burgers. I need to make patties and quick freeze them before I package them. When I do this a neat trick I learned is to make the center thinner than the edges and the burger will cook through well. We do not eat under cooed meat.
There is also a three pound loaf to tend to. I may make meat balls out of it with rice and dried onion, spices and such.

Wash up the kitchen and finish up (well catch it up) the laundry. With the kids attending school in a couple of weeks I have clothing to sort out. See what they have out grown and such. Ready there rooms for fall.
We have a play date at 11 am Well it is almost 11: and we just got home!
Enjoy your work for it is the benefit of a life lived.
