Linking up some Thanksgiving dinner sausage today. Trying to get all of the flavors of Thanksgiving dinner in a single sausage. They will cure in the fridge overnight and I will smoke them off tomorrow.

Any recs for an oil that is liquid at room temperature that won't solidify in the fridge? like if I want to make salad dressing ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. EVOO and avocado oil will solidify and has to be left out to warm up for a while. I'm trying to avoid veg oil, corn oil and other seed oils.

Collecting spruce tips and immature cones today to try my hand at making mugolio for the first time. It's just sugar and spruce tips/immature cones layered with sugar and allowed to ferment for several weeks. It creates a thick syrup with a fresh "piney" flavor. To buy it costs $25-50 per half a cup. But to make it costs mere pennies.

I'm super stoked by this pic. Several years ago I found out a out a strain of corn known as Tama Flint. It's a flint corn that was selected over generations by the Meskwaki tribe of Iowa (Tama). The selected strain is a deep red color. I live in iowa and am super interested in local and native foods. I contacted the Meskwaki tribe trying to get some seed. I found out that they don't sell or give seed to non natives. After scouring the internet I found a sees saver in Louisiana that had a small amount of seed that he was willing to part with. I planted some of that this spring and this is it sprouting (along with a few weeds, lol). Some of the seed was not the deep red that is the pure strain, so I'm sure that I will have some different colors in this crop. I also have tons of modern GMO corn being grown all around me so I don't know how that will affect pollination. But, regardless, I'm excited to be growing this variety of corn!

I don't normally like to toot my own horn but this is a milestone for me. The week of Thanksgiving last year I stepped on the scale and it read almost 380 pounds. It was a smack in the face for me and I realized I needed to do something to make sure I am around for my family as long as possible.
I've been eating keto and exercising since then and this weekend was the first time in over a decade that the scale has read below 300 pounds for me. I still have a long way to go but I'm on the way.
I've also included a pic of my most recent labs for those that might wonder what eating mostly fat for 9 months will do to your lipids.
