Winner, Winner, Turkey Dinner

It started raining last night and rained most of today so I didn’t do any yard work today.  

There has been a big turkey in our freezer since before Thanksgiving.  It wasn’t needed for Thanksgiving as our son brought turkeys he cooked. 

We are also out of frozen chicken broth.  

So I thought I would thaw out that turkey and make broth with part of it.  

So I cut it up and have the back, neck and wings cooking in this large crockpot for broth,  

The legs and thighs are in the fridge for now.  

I sealed  the breast in foil and baked it, low and slow- and it turned out so good! 

We had turkey with sides for supper 

And I guess we will be having several more turkey meals but that’s ok with me.  

I’ll probably make more broth with the legs -or  “bone broth” as the cool homemakers call it these days. 

Turkey 🦃 anyone?

Progress taking back the garden spot- after working here today and yesterday.

There is still lots to do and that’s only 6 feet 

But there is hope! 

My son made this meatloaf with this recipe-he says  it’s the best turkey meatloaf he’s ever had and they will be eating meatloaf for days.  

The photo he sent doesn’t have the mixing and baking instructions but you all know how to mix and bake meatloaf, right?  

I think meatloaf sandwiches sound very nice.

Pork cutlets, a livestock show and will we garden?

Hello everyone 

I cooked those bargain $1 pork cutlets and they were delicious!  

I also baked that big pan of sliced carrots, made some mashed potatoes and a mix white gravy.  

Below is my plate 

My husband was very happy with this meal.  

This morning we went to the local junior livestock show at the county fairgrounds.

  Our 2 oldest grandsons were showing their Guernsey dairy cows.  

They are in 6th and 9th grade now.  

This is  what our side garden spot in the back yard currently looks like 😵‍💫🤯😱

Because of physical issues and extended family needs,  we have not really gardened in a couple of years.  

This is what that patch looked like, a few years ago, before the weeds moved in.  

Weeds grow really well in Oklahoma 

We’ve talked about hiring someone to just take it all back to a grass yard.  

But spring has me wanting to garden so I’m going to see how much cleaning up I can do without tearing it all down. 

No photos but I did a bit of clean up today and found a little asparagus coming up and blackberry bushes with lots of green leaves.  

I’m hoping to clean up a little each day and see how it goes.  

So come back and see if I make any progress.  

Hope you are all well. 

It’s a beautiful springlike day for us
