A Two Egg Omelette for Bruce

October 24, 2024 Bruce enjoys an omelette for breakfast, so I decided to make him one on my new induction range. I cut up the ingredients for the omelette filling. Mushroom, jalapeño, scallion and goat cheese. I just did chopped what felt about right, but I did manage to chop too much mushroom. I put […]

Donkey and Sheep in Pasture Behind Us

October 24, 2024 On October 20th, Bruce spotted movement in the pasture behind our back pasture. We walked over to our back fence, carrying Nox. The donkey was very curious and so was Nox. I held Nox safely out of reach of the donkey, since the donkey wanted to sniff (and maybe nip) Nox. The […]

A Bucket of Nox

October 23, 2024 Nox wanted to go with me as I head outside to pick up rocks. Nox wanted to come with me. I couldn’t carry her safely with one hand while I carried the bucket. This is what resulted. I let Nox out of the bucket and picked up rocks. I continued to build […]

Cooking on the Flex Burner on my Induction Stove

October 22, 2024 Last night, I wanted to try out my flex burner on my new induction stove. The flex burner can hold different sized pans and if the flex burner is joined, a griddle can be used on it. First, I put down some parchment paper on the flex burner. Next, I carefully paced […]

Trying Out My New Stove and Laundry Time

October 19, 2024 Bruce came home with a couple loads of laundry from his trip to Golden, CO. Since Bruce doesn’t have a lot of clothes, I needed to do laundry today. I had thawed some sausages we picked up in Missouri, so I wanted to cook them for breakfast. After wiping the glass cooktop […]

First Night at Blackberry Homestead and a Busy Next Day

October 19, 2024 On October 17th, I watched the moon come up through the trees from the patio. It was beautiful. The picture didn’t come out that great. I got ready for bed (shower and poison ivy treatment) and let Nox join me in the new bed for a while. Bruce called and we talked […]

Bruce Made It Home!

October 18, 2024 Bruce pulled up to the house tonight around 9:30 PM. He was itching so bad from the poison ivy that his goal was to say hi to me and Nox and then to treat it. When he took off his shirt, I was horrified. The poison ivy rash is all over his […]
