So, the husband has for the last few weeks been manufacturing mad venison sausage. I think we now have enough for the whole year. And if that weren't enough, over the holiday weekend he cooked an entire turkey confit, and many pounds of duck as well. I think our non-vegetarian friends and family will be receiving meat treats for the holidays.
Saturday evening, post stitch-n-bitch. Stuffed with crackers and cake. I have discovered that focaccia bread dough rolled out thin, slathered in olive oil, and sprinkled with herbs, cayenne, and sea salt, then baked, makes crackers that it's actually impossible to stop eating. Until your belly hangs over your belt and you feel like a whale. Lovely.
I'm watching the husband transform the KitchenAid into a venison sausage manufacturing center. It's pretty amazing...far more so than making jelly, which is my specialty at the other end of the food-preserving spectrum.
We received our first week's order from the Edible Garden food co-op. Last night we had fresh brocollia raab sauteed with garlic and olive oil. Apples are here awaiting a pie-fate.

Beautiful fungus from the Bath County trip:
I had lunch today at Edible Garden, where all the food is locally sourced. Delicious quiche, salad, bread, outside in glorious sun and flaming leaves. They've started a co-op for the winter. Pay a fee to join, and then each week you get a list of what's available from local farmers. Place an order, and pick up from the restaurant on Thursdays. We're gonna try it and see.
