Goin' South
I'm packing my bags (and a cooler to hold produce and homemade yogurt) and heading down to the hubby's estate after work tonight.
The produce was limited to a gallon bag of Cilantro and 1 asparagus spear. One of the chickens has found a skinny area in the fence where she can just squeeze though. Once on the other side - she heads right for the Swiss Chard and Collard Greens. Ugh.
The Pluot tree is blooming. Marcel and I planted a Methley Plum to pollinate it, but that won't happen this year.
Over the weekend I made Pork Adobo (my way - with orange peel and mirin in the marinade also) and Li Hing Mui Chicken (I have a bottle of Li Hung Mui powder that I mix with rice flower and I dredge the chicken in the mixture and fry it - it's good!). I freeze the chicken and use a little at a time in friend rice or a couple of ounces in a meal.

I have a yogurt incubator from Tribest and buy sweet yogurt starter from a www.cheesemaking.com (though I am now using the yogurt I make with the starter to make more yogurt at least one generation). It's more scientific this way - and the yogurt starter I'm using makes the most amazing yogurt.
Give it a try - it's fun, and it makes you feel like a hippy :-)
