Just love the changing of the seasons. Rather be here than in the big cities any day I'm just trying to get all my annual property 'chores' done early before it gets too hot, hence getting the tractors going. S & S Grouse ? sounds tasty .

Members Handstitched Posted September 18, 2022 Members Report Posted September 18, 2022 No idea where this should go, sorry chuck. . Well, what an interesting, albeit a bit amusing day. I'm going to be on reality TV.. fair dinkum ( true) ...in Germany... WTF ??? How do I explain this? At our regular market today , we ( stall holders) noticed a camera crew moving around, filming etc. We thought perhaps it was a pro mo vid for the market. Nup. They filmed the venue, a few stalls & their holders , including me, with two particular people in every shot. They both came to my stall spoke to me asked about my Cane toad and various leather goods, with crew following their every move. The boom mic operator could hardly fit his boom mic under our gazebos. An assistant and the boom operator later told me it was for the German version of, 'Farmer Wants A Wife' Not sure if you have it over there, but its here in Oz ( the Aussie version) . We were all a bit amused by it all. So, some of us ( and me) will be on national tv....in Germany. When ? Thanks Andy Warhol Those Canola crops I spoke about? the flowers are dissipating, fading , and the crops have started to smell like rotten cabbage, totally gross. The S & S Pork was so damn good btw It was sweet, but not sickly sweet...just nice and the Pork was juicy & tender. I cut the rinds off and cooked them up in the oven, so we had cracking as well.

Members Handstitched Posted September 19, 2022 Members Report Posted September 19, 2022 @chuck123wapati Hope your day went better than mine. Basically, the water pump on my ' Grey Fergie' packed up causing it to over heat and blow a head gasket, I thought it sounded a bit strange heading back to the house this afternoon. It showed all the typical symptoms of a blown head gasket . Water bubbling out the radiator like a volcano, rough idling etc. and the oil level increased. What a PITA ( pain in the ar*** ) Thankfully, these ' Grey Fergies' are easy to fix and parts are readily available . It'll be out of service for a few weeks thats all.

Very cool about the program we don't have it over here but i sounds like a neat program, i would watch it. My dad was in a show once, "In Search Of" with Leonard Nimoy as the host. It was about Butch Cassidy who frequented the little community my family settled in. I have a copy, its great to see him in it but its hard at the same time he passed in 89. We got our first snow in the high country this week, leaves will be falling soon. We are busy as bees getting ready its canning season and hunting/butchering season, all to get ready for a long cold winter lol. I got to till in the garden plot too, we left it fallow this year but next year it will be going strong, my bunnies will fertilize the heck out things lol, i must have half a ton of pellets.

I have my great grandmothers cook book it is a reused fabric sample book that she glued recipes from newspapers and books into and also quilt patterns and doily patterns lol. Some of the oldest dates are 1895. i find them fascinating because of the simple ingredients that folks had back then to work with and the fact that cook books weren't something you bought but made. i made baked eggs from it the other day lol but i had a hard time figuring out what temperature a "quick oven" was, wood stove terms lol. My mom was always saving recipes too, i have hers still also. Got the truck about half ready so far, today i have to grease it up, check the winch, and maybe change a u joint. its only ten days but its a hard ten, plenty of mud and possibly snow instore for the truck that starts by pulling my old camper 60 miles up into the mountains.

Mum has an assortment of cook books , especially one similar to your Great Grand Mothers . I don't know how old it is , but must be older than me, because she was using it when I was a wee lad. Its 2" + thick with magazine & newspaper cuttings tucked inside , its frayed, falling apart, but has some really delicious foods in it, mostly the ' olde' English recipes, many of which are bound to have copious ( and unhealthy ) amounts of cream and custard , no such thing as " diets" back then HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called?
