Well shit. Woke up at 5:30 am ready to go. I got a message around 8:30 that everyone was ready but the pigs... They no showed for our date today. Maybe later today, maybe tomorrow.

Jesus, spent the last couple days trying to make pita bread. Only had two and a half out of 16 attempts puff up and pocket like pita should. Tried the oven with a pizza stone and cast iron on the range. Varying temperatures and conditions but mostly just nein bread. Any hints?

I’m no bread maker, but I do know that most of the rising happens before you put it in the oven. Make sure you let it proof on the countertop for long enough.

I had 3 rises and it still won't puff up. Hurumph. I'm the baker in the house, btw.

Bake them in a dry frying pan. Turn often.

I planted 200 seed potatoes, average yield per plant is 1.5 to 3 lbs per plant

Had a bunch of those in my backyard growing up, they don't move.

I get to butcher a pig tomorrow! The pigs have been enjoying mango season up in the hills but my source has been baiting his pasture land for a week now because one of his friends wants to shoot one for some reason. He said that all the meat is mine. *shrug Ok.

I've been watching this video a few times now. "Between the 4th and 5th ribs" Got it
