I got beef liver one time to grind up and mix with some ground beef. I think I did like 1lb liver to 4lb of ground beef. I could taste a difference, but it wasn't bad. Most people ate it and didn't notice it at all, after they added cheese, ketchup, bun, tomato, lettuce, etc.

Beef from a friend's farm and bacon fat for braising from the same friends bacon. Dessert is roasted sungold tomato ice cream: roasted sungolds from our garden, honey from a friend, and milk/ cream from Jersey cows at Kilgus farm dairy. All local

That beef stew sounds great. I must admit I have never tried tomato icrecream. In fact, I never knew that existed until now I learned something new.

Bye son!

Hi Hannah,
Don't give up hope. I don't have experience with squash bugs... up here it is the potato beetles that kill our gardens.

I'm sure one of our southern Permies will be able to let you know how they deal with this.  

Give me misshapen any day.

Would you rather only be able to grow tons of your favorite vegetable, but they are misshapen or would you rather only be able to grow a few of your favorite vegetable, but they are the perfect specimen?

This one is hard for me... but probably canning. It takes more work, but it can survive losing electricity for a few days.

Would you rather only be able to freeze your harvest as a means of preserving or only be able to can your harvest as a means of preserving?

I may change my mind later, but for right now, I prefer the single wheel version, so I can get around corners easier.

Would you rather use a one wheel wheelbarrow or a two wheel wheelbarrow? Stability or steering?
