  1. Had some rain because it always rains when Christians celebrate summer solstice on the wrong date 🤣

    So I kept my hole shut until this afternoon.

    Cleaned up the intact glass bottles, because @vaviurka suggested if they were from the occupation era they would have their price in kopeks on the bottom. The bottoms were blank. The blue washed away. Obviously. Its an ink bottle!

    Checked a sample of the densely packed clay. Yup, our house stands on red clay that could be used to do pottery with a bit of washing.

    I filled most of it back in to the level of the bottom rocks, as there's no need to go deeper and then tried to compact it back down with water and boots.

    Helped a little frog get out, too.

    I've been trying to deal with some of the dead piles in my zone 0 and boy howdy.... It's not easy!

  3. The thing I made, with the fish we caught: poisson en croûte. 🤤🎣 Not only is there a nice flaky layer of fresh, tender, local reef fish, it has a collard green-goat cheese layer, reminiscent of spanikopita. 🤤 #eatlocal #homegrown #homesteady #cooking #today

  4. Every task and project I have at the homestead is like playing a game of "if you give a mouse a cookie".
    Today, I am pressure canning almost 3 gallons of rich veggie broth, due to a long list of other tasks that happened *and* lack of fridge space. 🙃Not a complaint, I'll have 3 gallons of veggie broth and I can remove it from my shopping list, it's just funny how task number 1 will take you thru tasks 2-574983 before you get back to task number 1 and suddenly, it's 10pm. 🥴 #homesteady #hoodsteading #homestead #cooking #preserving #shelfstable #recipe

  5. CW: Photos Raw and cooked bones

    Pressure canner test run successful. I haven't canned broth in a couple years now, so I wanted to make sure the seal is still good. The jungle isn't kind to anything, rubber or synthetic seals included.

  6. @Bette Everybody always asks me if Suriname cherries taste like "regular" cherries. The answer is NO. They are delicious anyway. I think you either love or hate them. Unique flavor. No shelf life. One of my favorite preserves. #fruit #eatlocal #homesteady #foodpreservation

  8. When armchair permies lecture me about what works in a diverse food forest systems, including how livestock works. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😭😭😭 I can't. 😭

  9. I had to make and eat an entire meal before starting to prep another entire meal to cook later. I can't be making food for dinner while hungry bc I haven't had breakfast. 😆
    So it was eggs and greens that all grew here on the farm. #cooking #homesteady #eatlocal

  10. The salmon came from Alaska, I picked it up from the farmers market, there's a guy that brings it in. The rose veal was produced by a fellow homesteader. I love knowing where my food grows and who grows/catches it. 🥰 #slowfood #growfood #connection #eatlocal #foodie #farming #homesteady

  11. It's on. I surfed, I turfed. I'm stuffed.
    Grilled salmon with lemon & old bay seasoning, butter and black pepper rose veal t-bone steak, baked potato w butter & sour cream, buttered green peas. 🤤 #cooking #grill #homesteady #eat

  12. Long starfruit season. I can pace myself. I like it like that. 💚 I wasn't able to go pick any for over a week, I was worried they would split from all the rain or be pau. Nope. Plenty still. Prob at least another month of starfruit ripening. 🥰

  13. Finna whip up some savory fried breadfruit things. I'll decide after it's made whether to call them fritters, tots or puffs. 😆 #cooking #growYourOwn #homesteady #eatlocal

  14. Sometimes it takes me 20 minutes to cut down a rack of bananas. Today it took me 2 seconds and I didn't even need the machete. 🥴🍌🍌🍌🙈 #homesteady #eatlocal #junglelife #bloopers

  15. I have livestock guardian dogs now, but I definitely lived this life when I lived in fox, skunk, snake, bobcat, possum, raccoon, coyote country w no livestock guardian dogs. 😅 Iykyk
    Now I just want the coops shut before morning, so I have FEWER chickens, ducks, guineas and turkeys standing under my window complaining about lack of store-bought pellets. 🙄 #homesteady #homestead #farmlife #poultry

  16. Ran the jets to get them good and bleached, now I'm letting it sit so the bleach falls apart. Then I'll prob use it for washing some outdoor stuff later.
    I won't get to soak in this tub until AFTER laundry and looking at the rain forecast lol. #offgrid #homesteady #HumanSoup

  17. I decided to make monkey butter. Fe'i bananas, juice of one pink eureka lemon, pulp of one large lilikoi (passion fruit), shredded coconut, a dollop of coconut oil, sugar and enough maple syrup to leave a hint. Cooked until desired consistency. Jar it up, keep in fridge or freezer. 🤤 It tastes like a roll of tropical fruit lifesavers. 😆

  18. I'm excited for my kid, who has had a wholly unconventional life for an "American" kid, but not that different from the other local kids. Our lifestyle is fairly common here.
    But to finally have their own "room" at 15.5 yrs old, and that we've been here over half their life.
    It's an event. #offgrid #tinyhouse #shabbin #shackteau #homesteady

  19. If you aren't shredding raw pumpkin into your hash browns, you are doing it wrong. Yes to adding diced onion, garlic, ginger, curry powder, duck egg, panko crumbs, a little shredded coconut, a little corn starch to make it crispy, salt, pepper. Fry in niter kibbeh ghee or olive oil.
    It is was so good. No pics sorry, ate it all.
    Love these pumpkins, really versatile. #cooking #farmToFace #homesteady #EatLocal

  20. If any of you have the tendency to romanticize "living with nature in the wilderness " I can fix that.

  21. Who wants to talk about the osso buco I'm making for dinner? ME me. I do.
    The rose veal was raised by a #farm friend. I'm making cornbread instead of polenta bc I wanted something more bread-like to soak up the rich broth. I'll try to remember a picture when I dish it up, but it's stew-like, so not always easy to capture the flavor in a pic. #cooking #FarmToFace #homesteady

  22. FINALLY I have hot showers again. Y'all have no idea what a luxury that is.

  23. Absolutely love having food growing right out the back door. 🤩 I have chickens that lay: brown, cream, pink, light blue, and olive green eggs! #homesteady #homestead #farm #eatlocal #fresh #FarmToFace

  24. Suriname cherry is covered in blossoms right now, I will make preserves with the bulk of them once the fruit is ripe.
    And also: this is the first year that my loquat tree is big enough to finally produce fruit! So excited! #TropicalAgriculture #FoodForest #homesteady #hoodsteading #fruit #trees #hawaii #farm #plants

  25. The concoction that I've been taking 2x day since Wednesday am: uhaloa and mamaki leaf tea, mixed with 2 droppers each of, turkey tail mushroom, usnea and turmeric tinctures, all grown here, made here. Also some commercial product: lions mane and cordyseps mushroom tinctures.
    Desired effect: general immune support and anti-inflammatory properties. Gentle healing support for undiagnosed rat lungworm, or whatever made me sick for 2+ weeks.
    Doing better daily since the "relapse" on Tuesday.
