Thanksgiving Feast
We had a Thanksgiving dinner of sorts on sunday. A dinner which only included food we had either grown or gathered. Our menu was:
Catch of the Day
We caught a yellowtail, two grunts (one pictured), an ocean tally, a speckled hind and the catch of the day . . . a 22 inch RAINBOW RUNNER on a hand-line!
Children's Choir
Madison has a new extra-curricular activity - children's choir at Beacon Baptist Church.
Thanksgiving 2012
I was too stressed out from wedding planning to consider cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year. Luckily for us some very special friends invited us to join them.
Our First Time . . .
The time came to harvest - read slaughter - our first rooster. When acquiring "hens" from Harbour Island we inadvertently included a young rooster. We had not raised him from a baby, we were not emotionally attached: we had no excuse if we wanted to call ourselves farmers. We isolated him overnight with lots of water but no food. We slaughtered him on Thanksgiving day. I took a LOT of photos but will leave out the "gross" ones :) Look closely at the kids faces - that is the best part.
Triathlon!
Marco completed the triathlon coming 7th in his age group!
Great job Marco! We are so proud.
