Butchering day for the chickens is set for Saturday. Being that we will be processing around 65-70 birds our plan is to catch them all Friday evening and put them in the horse trailer.The only problem with that is the horse trailer is already full of onions.Yes, our horse trailer is kinda like duct tape~ it has MANY uses. So out came the onions.We tied them in bundles and hung over the rafters in the shed. Probably where they should have gone in the first place but there was that time thing..
I had to check the sheep again today and see how our parasite problem was doing. I was very pleased to see most were doing well. A few had to be dewormed but for the most part they were in good shape. I am hoping the kelp/DE mixture and the goat mineral mixed with sheep mineral is helping,Last on the list was to weigh out potatoes for the CSA to pick up.
That done, I started supper. Eggplant dipped in egg, rolled in fresh breadcrumbs and lightly sauteed in olive oil served with a sauce made with homegrown beef, tomatoes, onions and peppers AND the creamy tomato soup. That won rave reviews.So incredibly delish and so simple. Enjoy!
Creamy Tomato Soup:
Process 2 cups of fresh or canned tomatoes with 2-3 cloves of garlic and a handful of fresh basil. Add 6 ozs. cream cheese and process until smooth. Transfer to sauce pan and add 1 cup or so of heavy cream. Heat through. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
