A Day in the Life / Saturday October 10

It's been raining nearly all day...we needed it. But it makes it a bit messy dealing with the chickens and Paula with the horses. Such is life on a "farm" :-)

I cooked the goat today. Couldn't find a recipe that sounded good to me so I just sautéed it like a beef roast and cooked it in the Instant Pot. Turned our absolutely YUMMY!!!

Lanny and I took a trip down to the IGA and they nearly always have great meat prices and sales, so I bought 12 pounds of ground beef and a box of patties (plus some steaks for later...). I like to cook it all and package it for the freezer so I can grab it later for a quick meal... I fried it all up and separated it into 10 nice, full cartons for making spaghetti sauce, chili, or whatever... and I fried up the 24 patties to freeze for quick burgers... I have a vacuum sealer so that at any time I can pull them out and heat them in boiling water and they will taste like they just came off the griddle.

Everyone loved the goat meat. I made mashed potatoes, roasted okra and gravy and Mom and Dad both ate seconds of the meat. I think we will definitely be raising meat goats!!

We had eaten goat meat in Africa and it was good, but this was delicious!!!

The sealer is so handy...if you drop the bag in boiling water and just heat it up it tastes like it is freshly grilled. If you don't have one you need to get one!

Oh, and I made more bread :-)

We are settling down on the couch with the puppies and the next installment in the Marvel series...Thor 2 (Dark World).

Goodnight Y'all!

Church tomorrow!!
