Yesterday afternoon, some of our friends kindly let us come ride/hangout with them when they were cutting their last field of soybeans. Soybeans are dusty. Very, very dusty. If you have any sort of dust allergy or such, I wouldn’t recommend hanging around a bean field when it’s being cut. I don’t have any allergies…
Spicy Pulled Pork
I love, love, love this pork… I got the recipe from Ree Drummond, but I’ve changed it a tiny bit! It is spicy, but it’s really, really good. You’ll need: 1 large onion 4 – 5 lb. whole pork shoulder or butt roast 1 can (7 ounces) Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce 2 cans Dr….
A day of shopping!!!
This past week we celebrated a birthday in our family by going shopping and just hanging out together. We had a lot of fun. Here’s some of the highlights: Cabela’s – no need for words. The giant stone fireplace. I’m not sure why I added this pic… it’s only the jacket I almost drooled…
Summer Sausage – Phase 2
Here’s phase 2 for our Summer Sausage… Trust me, all the work will be worth it in the end! Take your sausage out of fridge (now that its been in the fridge for 24 hours), unwrap it, and place it on a broiler rack. If using all beef for it, cook it a 300*…
After the storm
Last night we had quite the thunderstorm. Some people got hail, some people got rain, and some people got both! Thankfully, we only got the rain, but right after the storm there was a beautiful rainbow. And between the dark blue sky for a background, the rainbow, and the sun shining on everything – I…
Just a walk…
Yesterday afternoon, I decided to just take off and go on a walk… And I should really do that more often! It feels good to just ignore everything and take a breather once in a while. And it’s a great time to pray. It kinda reminded me of one of my favorite Bible verses: Psalm…
Summer Sausage – Phase 1
For my family, having summer sausage in the freezer is almost as important as having canned green beans and tomatoes in the pantry. So I usually make a very large batch of this and then re-wrap it after cooking, before freezing. Like I said, this was a mammoth batch, but I tripled it,…
Another Visit to the Cornfield!
We made it to the field again today! It wasn’t too hot, but there was a nice breeze to blow the dust in your face… Here’s some pics: Eek! We missed one!! I caught this pic while it was running down the road…Little blurry, but not bad! …
Wheat Harvest in Kansas
I started this blog after wheat harvest, so I didn’t have a chance to share any pictures of it with you! So, because I love taking pictures around harvest time and got a few random shots that turned out half-way decent… I’d like to show ’em to ya! In the combine.. in…
Bye, Bye, Summer!
*sniffle* Yesterday was the last day of summer, and as much as I love fall I don’t think I was ready to lose our beautiful golden evenings. Anyway, I thought I might post a few random pictures from this past summer.. Hope ya like ’em! Meet my top models, the cattle…
