So Much Green!


After 32 straight days of rain we finally had a dry day.  Steve and I took advantage of it and got some chores done which included picking some greens!  Radishes, turnips, pea pods, broccoli, pak choy and Swiss chard.  Every type of green loved the cooler weather and the daily rain.

We also went to pick up some hardware for the new chicken coop, which we will be building this week.  On the way home we stopped at the KC Buffalo Co. which is at 203rd St.  We have been meaning to get there since we moved out to the farm. And we are so glad we did.  We met a very nice gentleman who gave us some education in raising and processing buffalo for meat.  We took our time looking through all the selection of cuts and chose several items to take home, one being bison burgers for dinner! Yummy.  I had to take a photo of these juvenile buffalos  before getting back in the car.  They were taller than me but just teenagers.  The lower field was filled with the more mature animals and boy are they big!  You just don't realize how big they are until you stand next to them.  We didn't hang around since we kept thinking of out favorite State Farm Commercial where the buffalo charges the guys car! Terrifically funny as long as it doesn't happen to you!

So we were told to sear the burgers quickly, I added a pat of butter in the pan first and Steve seared those burgers to perfection.  They were great. Tasty, lean , no preservatives and lower fat content than beef.  My kind of red meat!  I also bought a tail cut to make Osso Buco.  Yummy again!
