Day 3 post op total knee replacement. This too shall pass. Looking forward to having a pain free and productive spring and summer this year vs last year. Keep moving forward.

For Thanksgiving this year I deboned a whole chicken (that we raised) except for the drumsticks. I stuffed it with stuffing and a turkey loin. Wrapped it into a roulade so it still looked like a whole chicken. I then vac sealed it and cooked it in the sous vide at 155 for 6 and a half hours hours. Then I chilled it for several days and on the day I seasoned the skin salt and garlic powder and cooked on the Traeger to 165 internal. It was probably one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. Absolutely delicious. #iowa #Thanksgiving #homestead #homesteading #realfood #growyourown #chicken #turkey #stuffing #turkeyday

@Jack Spirko I made your bruschetta recipe today. That little bit of fish sauce just pushes it over the top, really good! Thanks for sharing! #spring #salad #bruschetta #sourdough #tomato #peppers #oliveoil #fishsauce #nostr #grownostr #foodstr

We had a fairly mild winter here in iowa. I have what appear to be some volunteer pepper plants coming up in the garden. It will be interesting to see what they produce if anything. #iowa #spring #garden #food #gardenstr #growyourown #realfood #slowfood #eatlocal #growyourown #pepper #peppers #nostr #grownostr

Spring means asparagus. I planted 5 crowns a out 10 years ago. They've spread and seeded quite a bit and we get a nice harvest of spears several times a week. Wrapped in crispy prosciutto and served with some New York Strips. #OutdoorCooking #KetoBBQ #LowCarbLife #IowaGrown #FarmToFork #HomegrownMeat #IowaKeto #GrassfedBeef #PastureRaisedPork #BackyardChef #beef #realfood #localfood #spring #slowfood #nostr #grownostr #prosciutto #asparagus

Quick cucumber "kimchi". Super easy and absolutely delicious. Slice 1 cucumber. Handful of chopped carrots. Toss with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Let sit in strainer over the sink for 20-30 minutes to get rid of some of the water. For the sauce: 1.5 T gochugaru flakes 1 T sweetener of choice (I used brown allulose) 2 T fish sauce or oyster sauce (I used oyster) 1.5-2 T avocado oil 2 cloves garlic finely chopped. 1.5-2 T rice wine vinegar 2 T soy sauce or coconut aminos Sesame seeds. (Amounts vary based on the size of cucumber and carrots) After the carrots and cucumbers have drained, toss them to combine with the sauce. Add sesame seeds to taste Let sit in the fridge for a few hours. Serve to a grateful world. #cucumber #salad #kimchi #spring #iowa #keto #realfood #foodstr #nostr #grownostr

Cleaning up the yard of broken sticks and limbs and using them to make biochar in my mini kettle grill. #biochar #earth #soil #garden #spring #garden #gardening #Homestead #growyourown #nostr #grownostr

My first time incubating chicken eggs. Got about half to hatch, which I think is pretty good considering I ordered them online and they were shipped. #chickens #eggs #homestead #homesteading #iowa #spring #realfood #growyourown #nostr #grownostr
