No pictures - allergies were giving me fits today, really should have taken a picture of my couch because that is where I spent the day fighting allergies
This will be the last week of deer cam pictures as we have to pull the corn to get ready for bow season. We do not hunt where the feeders are, but we do hunt on the farm they are on, so we pull them a week before hunting seasons starts.

Holiday baking has begun. I try to start baking cookies & put them in the freezer for Thanksgiving & Christmas for company, family & college kids that come by. I had to make 6 dozen cookies for a church event, so I made extra to put in the freezer for the holidays. This was the start. The shallow container will go to church (when filled with 6 dozen of course) & the deeper/bigger one will go to the freezer. These were chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.

Tomorrow is trash day & recycle day. I was tying into bundles the magazines, junk mail & newspapers we had to be recycled. I took one stack out & came back for the other stacks & the cardboard. This is what I found.
Fuzzy had been by the water bottles you see in the foreground playing with a piece of scrap string. When I came back into the house she had claimed the cardboard (sitting on it) & one pile of magazines for herself. Why??? I have no idea. She made a fuss when I made her give up her treasure.

Deer cam #2 - the fawns are spending more time away from their moms, getting old enough to explore on their own, soon the spots will be gone.

Made a new dish tonight call Saucy Pepper Steak served over white rice. My husband thought it was one of the store bought mixes & was impressed I made it from scratch. This one is a keeper. The recipe is at my blog http://goodcooking-semperfi.blogspot.com/

Last one from the deer cam - the bucks have lost their velvet. This one still has some velvet hanging on. You can see it really good in the first picture but I didn't like the blurred doe, so had to add another.
Well that is my week. Hope everyone had a good one. See ya next week. God Bless!!
That pepper steak looks delicious! Silly kitty - they have an instinct for claiming our stuff, don't they?
ReplyDeletegreat idea to get started now with the cookies....I wish I had a big freezer to do that!!
ReplyDeletelove the picture of the fawn and buck!
I guess I will be seeing deer on the backs of trucks soon around here...
Sara I have two chest freezers in the garage. The reason back when my boys were little my mother-in-law & I would plant a 1/4 acre garden. We either canned or froze everything we grew,plus we butchered 100 chickens for our family & another 50 for her & my father-in-law which would last us a year. Then we hunted deer for our main source of meat, so had at least three of those we butchered in the freezer too. Basically a modern day Laura Ingalls Wilder & I grew up on military bases, learn all of it from my in-laws. If it wasn't for that past, wouldn't have one big enough either. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe holiday baking/freezing idea is great! Do all cookies freeze okay?
ReplyDeleteCouldn't believe the number of coons. Cool pic with all those eyes.
Mike has caught and relocated about a dozen from around our house.
So far the cookies I have made have, chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal, the type you make with a cookie press. I have a friend who does this with her holiday cookies & some candies & it works for her. I put wax paper between each layer of cookies in the container, which my friend does too.
