Seasonal Eatin' at Samhain

10/30/2014

From Bear:

Shelf Chef is at it again. I've started a new section of the website about Eatin' with the Seasons, beginning with Samhain (late Fall). This is the time when the farmers butcher their animals that they won't be feeding over the Winter, so I have included instructions on how to break down a whole chicken, as well as how to make homemade stock from the carcass. The Wheel turns and new ideas begin...

Connecting with Early Fall and the Fall Equinox

From Theresa:

I've added a Connect with Early Fall and Celebrate the Fall Equinox page to the website. Those of you who know that the Equinox is in late September will realize that this is getting posted a bit late, but at least it will be in place for next year's celebrations. 

Many of the subjects it brings up are still applicable: watching the leaves Fall, giving thanks for an abundant harvest, making necklaces out of the amazingly colored kernels of Indian Corn, and being worn out enough from all the gardening that I am starting to look forward to Winter's rest.

Many Fall blessings to you all!

How to Clean the Chimney on Our Woodstove

Oh no... the brush is stuck in the chimney again!!
From Theresa:
We're doing many things to get ready for Winter here on our tiny homestead, one of which is to buy and stack lots of firewood (thank you, Bear) to get ready to use our wood stove. This year for the first time we successfully cleaned the chimney ourselves, in spite of last year's failed attempt. (Or maybe we should wait until we light the first fire to say for sure that this year's cleaning was successful?) Either way, I've written up instructions on how we did it, to help us remember when we do it again next year. I've posted the pdf in hopes that the instructions will help you too:
