Lots going on!!!

Hey there everybody!!!! It's been a while since my last post, but things have been busy around here. I've been canning tomatoes, and dealing with the last of the garden. We're trying to get as much out of it as we can.
Yesterday we picked all of the pumpkins, and Frank brought them down to the house in the tractor wagon. We got 6 decent sized pumpkins. As soon as I finish making the Damson jelly that I started yesterday, I'll get started on the pumpkins. I'm going to roast the seeds, can the pumpkin meat, and save the rinds for the worms. We will be harvesting those tubs and getting them started fresh here in the next few days.
Frank has been doing the random butchering that needs to be done, so my freezer is filling up with winter meat. We made some rabbit sausage last week. We didn't stuff it though, because I wanted to just go ahead and leave it loose so that I can make sausage patties, or do whatever with it.  I'm planning on making some big pots of soup here soon, so that I can get that canned up and put back. Last winter we ate a lot of soup, and that was awesome.
Since my  counter has been full with the dehydrator, and canning supplies, I haven't been able to make any bread. As soon as all of that is done, I think I'm going to have to make a few big batches of bread.
I'm planning on taking lots of pictures of the different things we have going on, so there will be a big picture blog coming soon!!!!
I've got to dash, because this Jelly isn't going to make itself!!! (although wouldn't that be nifty?)

Zucchini Fritters Recipe

 

Oh the joys of zucchini, and all of the many ways it can be prepared. This is one of my favorites!!! It

uses simple ingredients, and works up in a jiff. One batch makes a lot, so I tend to make 2 batches so that we can heat the left overs for dinner the next night. They are just as tasty the next day as they are the first!!!! (Don't worry the recipe I'm giving you guys isn't doubled)  The recipe is as follows!!!

 

2 Cups grated zucchini

2 Cups grated cheddar cheese

1 onion grated

2 eggs

1/2 to 2/3 cup flour

salt and pepper to taste.

 

Mix above ingredients into a large bowl and stir. Keep skillet greased while cooking. Drop spoonful of batter into skillet. Flatten into a patty w/ spoon. Fry until golden on both sides.

 

Now, I have a metal tablespoon that I use to put the batter into the pan, and it works quiet well, and makes for a decent size that's not too big, and not to small.

Enjoy!!!

Betty's kits

So, as some of you know, we raise Silver Fox rabbits here. Well, We have this big beautiful Chocolate Silver Fox doe, who at first we couldn't get to lift. Then her first litter froze, we didn't realize that the buck had slipped a fall of in, and luckily, the doe across the way had just had some as well, so I slipped those 4 in her cage. This time, I was ready!!! She had 6 beautiful kits last Sunday. 3 Black, and 3 Chocolate, and she is a fantastic mother as you can see by how well fed they are!!!
Bob, is their father, which is the second buck that we picked up several months ago.

I can't wait to see how these grow out!!!!
