Tonight was a fun night in our urban farmer almanac.
On tap was:
* Butter making (Brian loves this task)
* Putting up green beans for winter (Sarah's, hands down)
* Chicken wing-clipping (takes both of us, this time as tipsy as we were...)
Reason behind the chicken wing clipping is, now that they are laying fairly reliably in the nest boxes, we can let them roam in the garden to eat bugs and seeds, poop, and generally enjoy chicken life.
All this after very long days of work for both of us and a light dinner of local homemade pasta with our own Alfredo sauce (made in Jan. 2010 and frozen--wanted to see how it thawed--great is the answer) with some caramelized shallots and a nice California Cabernet.
Now it's 10:19 in the pm...and I'm tired. Finishing the framing for the Eiteljorg Museum in the am.

I think "putting up" is an Indiana / Hoosier term. When you "put them up", what exactly are you doing? Freezing, canning, drying, putting them in the cupboard? :)
