Howdy....Today feels like one of those days that is never going to end....How does one start this silly little blog post anyway....Lets start with looking out the window at 430am and seeing snow covered roads and sideways percipitation.....by 8 drizzly and warm....Lets fit in a run to gorham to get three of my goats who had a nice long visit with their big bad boyfriend..3 large goats travel nicely in the back of a dodge durango...1130 back home to my outdoor walkway covered over by a foot of water....and water pouring in the beautiful stacked granite basement...sump pump...sump pump....sump pump...please don't let the power fail....Wind is blowing crazily.......

settled the goats, cleaned the house, and proceeded to begin cooking...Gingerbread cookies, which I am not all the impressed with, I am personally a gingerbread bread kinda girl.   Then onto Pane Francese, which is what seems like an all day process, but good bread usually is...God that little roll is amazing, and so simple to make....A perfect project for the beginner to bread making.  Then onto egg pasta from scratch, with a eggs from the Baker's Dozen.  Probably the best pasta I have made so far, and I am giving most of the credit to the eggs.....Shiny orange yolks...smiling up at me from the well of flour...OH the joy of fresh eggs.  The eggs were payment for my Farm Consulting...a little tip that made a chicken coop warm up, got me a dozen fresh eggs thank you very much.  Beautiful linguini noodles from the kitchen aid attatchment I borrowed from Kelly and may never give back...( I will Kelly I swear ) The perfect wild mushroom cream sauce with fresh herb garnish. ( still have herbs in a bucket in the wood shed ) Dishes done, goats tucked in...glass of wine for the farmer girl...
Seems the life of a REAL farm girl is never done...
Rewarding this challenge is turning out to be....( I kinda feel like Yoda when I talk like that...hehe)
So much accomplished in this day...even though I wish there had been a bit more accomplishing.going on....Its nice to sit at the end of the day and see a tidy crossed out list, for me at least..cause I am a list girl. Time to take up the sketch pad and finish the wine..cause its early to bed and early to rise for this Friendly Female Farmer...
