Family Fun: Pie and Pasta

This week got off to a good start with pie for breakfast - 1 rhubarb and 1 mince.  I added frozen elderberries to both for an immune system boost.

Baby loves noodles. Fresh or cooked. 

He did his best to help make this batch for our Monday Pasta Night. 

Brother S took Miss L's snap beads and made himself a rain man costume. 

We finished off the week by sending the 35 extra roosters off to freezer camp.  A great group of teens came to learn and help with the processing.  I was so impressed with their willingness to get their hands dirty. Very dirty.  It was their idea to show some guts in this picture... 

They were a wonderful crew.  They worked hard all morning and encouraged each other through the difficult moments. They are now armed with a serious survival skill and a better appreciation for where their food comes from.  I always say, if you are going to eat meat, you should process it at least once.  You stop taking it for granted when you have experienced taking a life to get it.
