This week, some of my offerings include:

Next week, I'll be making lots of Jelly and Jam. I have had sold nearly out! It is a good thing, though it also means my inventory is seriously low.
Flavors that will be available on April 6 include, Hot Pepper, Pineapple Pepper, Strawberry, Pineapple and Cabernet Sauvignon jelly.
If you are in the Lake City Area, come on by and check out the Lake DeSoto Farmer's Market!
SPEAKING OF JELLIES......
Last week, I had a pork butt that I wanted to make, but I wanted something different. So - what did I do, you ask? (Maybe you didn't actually "ask", but I know you wanted to) I went to my jelly cupboard and got out some jelly! I used one I haven't eaten before. See, if it (meaning ANY dish) has the word PEPPER in it, I don't eat it. I'm a weenie. I love to grow hot peppers, I love to make pepper jellies, but I can barely stand the smell. They're just way too hot for me. Anyway - I pulled out a jar of Pineapple Pepper Jelly. I made this specifically at my daughter's request and it's sold like hotcakes. She assured me it wasn't hot, but she can be a bit devious at times, so I'd not yet tried it. I had a jar from a batch that didn't set, so I decided to get creative and I poured it all over my pork butt and popped it in the oven. Mmmmm - it was awesome! We had a home-grown salad to go along. Fresh lettuce, onion greens, carrots and a few other goodies in it that I didn't grow. I topped the salad with some Rosemary Balsamic Vinegar purchsed from the Lake DeSoto Farmer's Market vendor Betty. She has the BEST vinegars, spices and herbs.
Pork Butt in the dish with jelly all over it. I covered it and baked it at 300 degrees for about an hour to an hour and a half.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before we started eating, but, you can see we really did enjoy it - a LOT. :-)
My Salad - pre toppings and "dressing". Look how pretty those green leaves and orange carrots look in my transferware bowl.
Food should look as good as it is going to taste.
TIME FOR MORE GOAT PICTURES!!!
Have I mentioned how much we're enjoying our goats? Or how much we're enjoying the new babies?

See any pattern here? Wonder just which of us is spoiling these babies more? They are so much fun. They love seeing us come outside. They make us feel like we're the most special humans in the world.
I milked Orla tonight. Her bag was looking pretty full, so I figured the babies aren't eating as much as she's producing and turns out I was right. I did not milk her all the way out, yet I still got nearly a quart of milk! I'm so excited. This is our first milk of our very own! Now, not only is our farm producing vegetables (well, there were a few from the garden I just couldn't help planting last fall), eggs and meat (chicken), now it's producing milk!!
Next week at the Lake DeSoto Farmer's Market, I'll have home-made yogurt. Might have some milk too, but not certain. Depends on just how much WE drink this week. :-) After the yogurt, I'll work on some cheeses. I'm going to have a blast experimenting with the different flavors.
Since today is Good Friday, I will leave you with this thought.... God sent His Son, Christ, to redeem our sins. He gave us His Greatest Gift - Salvation. We are Forgiven of our sins, by Christ's death, simply for the asking. What an incredible gift. We can do nothing less for our fellow man. Treat one another in a manner you would like to be treated, forgive those who hurt you and strive to be as loving and caring as our Heavenly Father. It's a big thing to strive for, but given the right frame of mind, it's one we can gain much from trying to achieve.
Have a wonderful and blessed Easter Weekend!!!
