TV has blown up again, well the sat, Pigs to harvest, Foccacia's and bread.

Booboo and I spent the best part of the day making pies and different artisan breads.  We had fun and got lots done.  She made some funny designs on her pie tops but has managed to get the rolling down pretty much.  I had a friends mom tell me once that you could determine how good your marriage will be by how round your pie crust is, well Booboo has a ways to go before she is marrying material.  I am think that that is a good thing for an 8 year old.  We ended up with breads of blue feta, garlic and feta, olive and feta, spinach and feta, and chipolte feta, we hadn't tasted the chipolte feta, as it has just ripened, before it has some kick.  We made 4 rhubarb pies and 2 peach, Booboo picked the rhubarb so ended up with some filling for the freezer, that is a good thing.  Yogie spent most of the day being her dads side kick, she helped him with all the chores and was good, well except at the store.  Dad gave out allowances and both received their full amount, so a good day was had by all.

Today we bake more bread and foccacia.  We made yeast bread with whole wheat flour yesterday but today it is sourdough.  Booboo made the sponge yesterday so it will have had a good time to age and sour up.  We are supposed to harvest three pigs today, hope all goes well with that.  Poppie helped to take a market pig to the meat man that Son had sold to Little Sisiter.  All went well in that endeavor except the pig was a little arbitrary, in the end all went well and he got there on time and in good standing.

I don't have any kids today but then when don't I have the grands.  I am not sure that they know how to exist without a good visit to Nannie's each day.  Boy was in trouble last night, Poppie had called him as the tv clicker was missing.  We didn't think anything of him coming over a few minutes later to help look, problem was he didn't tell or ask his parents that he was coming.  Mokie came over to get him, lecture him and actually find the clicker.  The TV apparently got hit or taken out by recently lightening, or it is just more of the faulty throw away appliances that we have in this day and age, who knows.  Poppie is not looking forward to having to call the TV service.  This will be the third receiver we have had in 2 and half years, wish they would get it right.  We are going to be dropping our service down to a smaller package, a lot of it we don't use and it will cost considerable less.  We almost never watch movies or listen to the music channels anyway.  We will be sad to have to start over with our dvr, again.  We have quite a few good movies recorded and we don't have the usb drive it takes to record them on to, I wonder if I could record them on to my external drive that I use for photos, well that might not be a good idea anyway but we could ask to find out.  We will see, the girls hate when we don't have a cope of the Wizard of Oz, and I am not sure what Cubbie will do with out Soul Surfer.  Most of our recorded stuff is children's movies other than that and they will be hard to replace.  I think we have 70 ish.    Well time to start our morning bible reading so you have a great day.... tomorrow.
