Listener Feedback

From a listener –  I remembered that you decided to sell your AGHs, and I’m in a similar (but bigger) situation, and hoped you might be able to offer some suggestions or possibly send my way  anyone you know who’s in the market, and feel free to share my email for contact. I’m local (Cookeville) and the pigs are in the Monterey/Muddy Pond area. Hope everything’s going well in the Holler, and hope to hear back from you soon.

  • Processing 2 Ewes with Prolapses, lots of ground meat
  • Homemade Roast Beef Sandwich Meat
  • Prepper Pantry Update

Frugality Tip From Margo

Stopping in the middle of a project when you run out of something and having to go get more can be annoying. What’s more annoying to me is wasting time to go save a dollar or two. While I am probably one of the most frugal people I know with money, I value my time a lot as well. So save some time and run to the closest store and spend an extra $2 and finish the task. 

Happy Savings y’all

Listener Feedback

 I’ve been telling my wife about you swim spa. We think it might be a good thing for her to get. She has a couple of questions:

  1. “Having been used to lap pool swimming, in 25-yard pools, is it difficult to get used to a swim spa?”
  2. “How do you track distance?” (I’m used to counting laps to know how far I’ve gone)

Cooking Great Food Easily

Instead of a recipe, please allow me to introduce you to Easy Way Gourmet, a bountiful food column for people who love to eat and often don’t want to spend a year or so at Le Cordon Bleu or even four hours to turn out a delicious gourmet meal.

Barb Ford has spent the time learning and the years practicing haute cuisine, so you might say she’s handy around the kitchen. Any invitation to visit Barb’s house becomes a red-letter day on my calendar!

For years now, Barb has written a food column for The Murfreesboro Voice. Her message is that you can make utterly delicious food without devoting the whole day to preparation or taking out a second mortgage for ingredients.

A recent column offers soul-satisfying dishes that capitalize on the abundance and economy of eggs.

Rather than tout Barb further, I invite you to visit Easy Way Gourmet.

We’re having Easy Cheese Soufflés for dinner tonight!

Take Your Pick: Hot or Cold

During the depths of winter, I sometimes feel as if I’m scraping the dregs out of the “boring stuff” barrel and serving it up lukewarm. Well, take your pick: hot or cold, and the result certainly won’t be either tepid or humdrum. Read more
