Holy strawberry patch batman. And there ought to be a bumper concord harvest this year as well, as long as moisture stays consistent. #grownostr #growstr

Aight. I'm gonna say something crazy, and I hope my mate drinking brothers and sisters in South America don't hate me for it, but sometimes I like to use coffee instead of water when I drink mate. I just needed to get that off my chest. Happy Saturday frens. #grownostr

I've been using my lunches this week to build kidsteaders.com/launch-team/ It's in a very raw state, the buttons don't work and the terms and copy are likely to change somewhat. But I'd love input on what is there so far.

My boys foraged a fairy ring this evening. They picked an overflowing gallon bag worth of horse mushrooms. Someday they'll figure out they don't need to pick every single mushroom. #foraging #foodstr

My coworker was talking about Alberta expressing interest in becoming an American state. I suggested trading California, Oregon or Washington.

#gm frens. Happy Lord's Day. It's raining here, this passage came to mind: But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44-45 ESV

#Smoking some brisket, once it gets a good bit of smoke, my wife will take over and braise it with a barbacoa brine/marinade/liquid she makes. It's gonna be great! #grownostr #foodstr #smokestr

Its been a while since I last played this way. 2 liters water 3/4 (scant) cup sucanat (could probably use 1/2 a cup or less even?) 1 Tbsp sassafras bark 2 tsp cinnamon chips 1 tsp grated dried ginger 1/2 star anise pod 1 toasted cardamom pod 1 clove 3 allspice berries Simmer on stove for a while then allow to cool to between room and blood temperature. Pour to vessel and add ~1/4 cup of sourdough starter. Wait. I'll probably rack this into two 1 liter bottles in a few days. Makes something between soda and beer. Sour flavor. #grownostr #drinkstr
