Chickens: Killing, Plucking and Eviscera @ foodwaterandfire.ludlowsurvivors.com

Don’t click the link unless you actually want to see how to butcher a chicken.

I’ll be doing this soon. Wow this is more work than I thought …

The plucking is the worse. If you plan on doing a large amount invest in a plucker (or have the Amish do it if you live near them).

Or just skin them. Way less trouble. I prefer skinless chicken anyway. And for ducks it is a must. Those feathers just refuse to come out!

See I’m the opposite. If we are roasting the bird, the skin is a must. With my soup birds, though, I do just skin them. Same with ducks, plucking them is a level in hell.

Homestead Dreams: Things I am feeling about the urban farming movement and the media today::

milklake:

I love urban farming, urban gardening, organic gardening, community gardening, any gardening, really. Gardens, especially ones grown with the spirit of community building and getting food to people who need it, are one of those things in life that just make my heart swell until it…

I got a menstrual cup a few months ago, and I LOVE it. It has been a major game-changer when it comes to shark week.

If you’re curious about menstrual cups, I compiled my thoughts on my (very positive) experience.

“It seems to me that on one page I recognized a portion of an old diary of mine which mysteriously disappeared shortly after my marriage, and, also, scraps of letters which, though considerably edited, sound to me vaguely familiar. In fact, Mr. Fitzgerald (I believe that is how he spells his name) seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.”

- —Zelda Fitzgerald, in a review of her husband’s book in 1922 (via trishahaddad)

Reminder that F. Scott Fitzgerald stole his wife’s writing, many times, while suppressing her works. See “Save Me the Waltz”, which he forced her to revise so that he could use parts of it in his own book “Tender Is the Night”. And which author do we study in school?
