Stacey Abrams is trending right now for saying, "There is no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. It is a manufactured sound designed to convince people that men have the right to take control of a woman's body." Though she's been called deranged, NPR reported almost the exact statements a year ago. Here are some of my thoughts. Let me know what you think about it all. Also, editorial board will meet tomorrow - time TBD. Thanks for your support!
Everyone who has chickens knows the struggle toward maintaining enough egg cartons, always asking friends to save theirs and bring them by. I was just thinking how I’d need some more when I drove by unknown trash on the side of the road. It looked like it might be egg cartons so I pulled over and sure enough - yes! 🙌 It was worth all the stares I got. Has this happened to you? What is something you needed and fortuitously found?
Whoever invented tabbouleh is a genius. I started making it because our local regenerative produce farm, Growing Back to Eden, has the most beautiful parsley. I had no idea how healthy it is! Parsley is a vitamin K super green, not to mention it’s packed with so many other nutrients. It makes regular salad greens look lazy. I opt out of the bulgar wheat and just use tomatoes, onion and mint. Back when I bought tabbouleh, I’d notice it was often made with cheaper oils like sunflower or canola. I use olive oil and a dash of sea salt. It’s so easy and if you make a lot at once, it holds pretty well in the fridge for a week.

Fermented foods are not just good for people, they are great for animals. Fermenting chicken feed is so easy and it makes the grains far more nutritious. All you do is put your feed in a bucket and add water until the water covers the feed. Let it soak for 1 to 3 days and you should see it start bubbling. It’s fermented and ready to feed your chickens. You will probably have to add more water after your initial mixture grows in volume to make sure there is always a little bit of water covering the top. This prevents mold. Our chickens love their fermented feed and will leave any dry feed untouched if their fermented feed is in front of them.
