Nothing like sitting right in the food pan to make sure you don’t miss anything!
Apparently I’ve left the bread post up too long to please some people. This is food-related, right? Buttercup lives to serve. Or lives for his food, take your pick.
Anyway, in actual human food-related news, whilst I was without internet, I made 8 loaves of (regular) bread and 5 loaves of raisin bread. Sliced and put in the freezer. The raisin bread is to go with one of the breakfasts at the retreat and the regular bread is for the party. I also put away some pies in the freezer for the party. I made 8 pounds of soap to sell at the party, and spent a lot of time working Shortcake (mostly to no avail, trying to work on her “catching” issue). I also spent most of one day preparing Morgan’s feast that she requested after Weston (the vegetarian) went back to Morgantown–ham, mashed potatoes, peas, green beans, scalloped corn, rolls, and brownies. Like a big holiday meal, but without the extra people here to eat, which Morgan was determined should not stop me from putting on a feast. So I did.
Maybe Buttercup will do a craft for me later so I can update the House & Garden page. I’ve updated the Country Living and Barn pages repeatedly in the last several weeks as that is where my focus has been in projects around the farm. My blog reflects my life, so some categories get more focus at some times than others. (I promise to get Farm Bell Recipes updated as soon as I can–I’m so behind at the moment.) Meanwhile, I still have internet today….so far. How come I get internet AFTER I cancel my account? I should have cancelled my account SOONER.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Sorry, Buttercup, didn’t mean to call attention to your age…
I meant to say, is Buttercup the cat that has been with you for the longest time? I seem to remember you writing about him some years ago…

I do have one question concerning your post-Weston feast: what is scalloped corn? I’ve had scalloped potatoes, but I’ve never heard of scalloped corn.
