Recipes Morel and Nettle Bake ~ Random Tidbits

Although a bit late for morel mushrooms here, I'm sharing a recipe I found you all may like.  I hope to try it next spring.  I'd probably use ground organic oats with some Italian herbs, or grind up some homemade "croutons" for this recipe.


I've saved many recipes for deer and such from my mother, but I'm starting to collect more recipes for rabbit lately.  I'm still on the fence on raising meat rabbits, but Hubby is still on the fence with me too.  It's all about money and time.  Also, I'll need to learn how to clean them and prep them for the freezer.  We've had a boat load of wild rabbits here lately, and I'm keeping an eye on my garden.  

One of our barn cats chased a baby squirrel up under the porch and under my legs the other morning.  She missed her breakfast, as it ran back off the porch and up the pine tree.  They too will clean my fruit trees, so I'm watching those too.

Well, if you are wondering, Hubby took me to urgent care in style - on the Harley.  Fresh air is good right?  The night before that, we attended a dance performance.  I'll admit it was amazing.  It was from young to old and very fun to watch, but after an hour and at intermission I had to leave.  We missed the last half, but I felt horrible (night before urgent care).  It was so hot in the auditorium, and I felt like I was suffocating with my congestion, and was very fatigued (although I had taken a nap).  My teas, tinctures, and hot bone broth must not have been enough.

I'm back to antibiotics, and I may be taking Youngest in to the doc next.  I'm dosing her up with probiotics, teas and the likes, but we'll see later today.  

I have a plan for a new lip balm to be made.  I need to fill the dehydrator to get that one started.

The rain has hit us again, and it's very, very wet out this morning.  The remaining plants and seeds remain un-planted, and that's just how it will be until it dries up.  I have space to get the sweet potatoes in, but it's a muddy mess out there.  

My house is a mess, but the baby clothes are packed into the trunk of my car until I am cootie-free to deliver.  One musical instrument has been successfully sold, and another up for sale.  The kids have picked up the truck and moved their kitchen table, bathroom cabinet, dresser and whatever else would fit, and they now have a couch too.  They are slowly making their apartment into a living space now.  We have more to move yet too.

Today is another day of rest for Youngest and myself.  I may check on the nettles again today, but need to find my gloves first.  

Hubby picked a good handful of strawberries last night, so it's yogurt and fruit for breakfast.  Both of us with "cooties" need it anyway.

I need to get out and harvest some nettle tops for tea! I keep forgetting and they will soon be too big to use. I only found morels once and I would love to find them again!!

Sorry to hear that you are still feeling unwell and needing antibiotics. Hope you feel better soon. Our garden is overrun with wild rabbits at the moment, they certainly create havoc.
Susan, I think we will try to get permission from someone to hunt for morels next year.
mamasmercantile, thanks. We are sipping teas today.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
