They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit.
Harvest and scrub: Two small turnips One large radish One medium rutabaga Five small carrots Six green onions. Clean and dice. About 1/2 inch cubes is the goal. Slice and dice sausage, to about the same size, 1/2 inch chunks. Stir fry and simmer together until rutabagas are just starting to get soft. Salt, pepper… Continue reading Root and Sausage Pasties
As we mentioned on Sunday, it is Advent! It's the most butter-ful time of the year. Seriously! With our annual Christmas cookie baking frenzy, the amount of butter we go through from Thanksgiving to Christmas would probably grease a steam engine, if we were so inclined to be wasteful.
