    Help us choose a name for Willow's Baby we have a Poll going the girls really like Nora which means Light bit.ly/32zqY5P

      Callie (Caleb's first)
      Nora is a nice name, also.

      @borikkiv 4 года назад +6

      Nora may seem nice in the US but in the UK it goes with old women, wrinkled stockings and "Bl***y Nora!" as an exclamation of disapproval /disgust. Depends on if the baby goat is a real nuisance!

      Lumnah Acres where are the choices for names? I clicked the link but it just took me to your home page and there was nothing there about the poll. I like Fern for the baby. We call the strips of leaves off a willow tree a fern so she’s an offshoot of willow.

    Bell pepper freezes beautifully for use in soups and stews. I routinely catch it when it is on sale and chop it all up for the freezer. Freeze it loose on a cookie sheet (jelly roll sheet), then drop into a freezer bag. When you need some in a dish, just pour out how much you want. I use the same process for celery.

    Gina, a couple of tips when baking biscuits. Freeze your butter and use a cheese grater to add it to flour. Will require very little cutting in. i just use a fork. Also, pat your dough out on pan you are going to use. Then cut them like you did but don't separate them. Will rise more. Love your channel.

    That stew beef (What my parents called it.) looks fantastic. Mom would make a huge pot that would last for days, then later add the tomatoes (along with corn) to change the flavor and make it more into a soup. As a highly active teenager who lived in the woods hunting and fishing, I lived off of this stuff when I came home. Brings back good memories. Thank you for sharing. Dave

    Gina please don,t take this the wrong way, but allow the knife to do the work when cutting veg, hold the handle and loosen your wrist doing an up and down motion,and please hold the veg with your fingers underneath so your cutting next to your knuckles, so if the knife slips you gets a grazed knuckle and not a chopped finger, I hold my breath every time I watch you prep , just thinking of your safety, it takes practice and ive had plenty from many years of restaurant and kitchen work , I love that all your meals are homemade and home grown

    Put your biscuits close together, all 12 on same pan, will make them rise higher. The way you spread them out and on two trays they won't rise very high.

    • @dianehall5345
      @dianehall5345 4 года назад +5

    Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. Wonderful to see the baby goat! I am used to seeing Nubians. The Nigerian Dwarf would be the breed of my choice. I like their personality and size. They may stay inside the fencing better.
    And they would produce just enough milk for the three of us. Our first calf arrived yesterday. A Hereford heifer.
    19 to go, unless we have twins! Gina, my Grandmother Hazel taught me how to make baking powder biscuits in the 1950s. I gently pat out the dough and place the high biscuits, shoulder to shoulder into a 12" fry pan. A double recipe fills the pan. Sometimes I preheat the pan. Makes me think of my Gram every time I make them :-)

    As for using Chicken Broth for Beef stew. I have been known to just use the broth I have for whatever I am cooking. Last week I actually used a remaining chicken broth, beef broth and vegetable broth all at once. It tasted fine. I just absolutely detest throwing out something if I don't have to. Especially these days. I end up with a few things in the fridge because certain recipes use a cup of this or that. It's a good way of using up what you have.

    A couple of days back you asked us to comment on the difference between a greenhouse and a high tunnel. Well a greenhouse is a permanent structure such as a garage, or a barn, and are considered out buildings and thus a permanent “ taxable asset “. A high tunnel can be disassembled and moved to your new home. Thus it is “ non taxable “ is most areas of the US.

    I had a thought about fixing the space where the chickens try to get out between the gate and post. How about screwing a long vertical piece of rubber,(like you use to cover the feeders) between the post and gate. The rubber would easily flex to let you open and close the gate, and keep the chickens from getting out!

But I know I'm too late for the pole but I think when you think of Willow and the branches of the willow tree. Windy is good for when the wind blows through the branches. LOL. Take care.

    Hiya. I have the perfect name for Willow's baby. :) I watched you raking the gardens...and thought of Maddison Square Garden in NY. Her name is Maddison...Maddie for short.
    :) God bless you guys. Much love, Pastor Liz Williams.
