Looking Forward 2011

                                                                      Happy New Year

 El Exigente and El Exigente, Jr. are already looking through the seed catalogs.  Our own seeds are safely put away for spring planting.  We are planning to get some livestock.  Poultry, for eggs and meat (yes they are called meat birds) and if possible, I'd like to get some rabbits, a beefer and perhaps a piglet or two.  The guys are making plans for housing for the critters and mapping out the garden areas according to a rotation that kept us in lettuce until November.  The weather co-operated.

I have been researching soy products and lazily baking the usual breads.  When Alessandra was  home I felt inspired to make her soy milk and tempeh.  I also made several kinds of sprouts which was a first for me.  Sprouting beans is very easy.  I used the instructions from the Ten Talents Cookbook I have mentioned in previous posts.


Have a great 2011!
