Flathead Cherries are the Best |
We arrived late, but that didn't mean I didn't get good stuff. Flathead cherries are in full swing, which means that everyone is selling them and the prices are dropping. Cherries are about $2 a pound and you can get a big bag for $5. With so many cherries, you either have to freeze them or make something out of them. I made some yummy Flathead Cherry Muffins. They're great.
I also picked up cheese, butter, lettuce, sugar snap peas, green beans, purple beans, red new potatoes, strawberries and carrots.
At the show, there was a vendor selling basic homesteading books from Storey publications. I picked up three on making homemade wine (I'm going to break down and make mead again), game recipes and quickbread recipes. Under the game recipes, they had a bunch of small game recipes that included Squirrel Skillet Pie, Roasted Raccoon, Barbecued Opossum and, yes, Crispy Fried Muskrat. Now, I'm not against eating game, or even small game, but I think I would be pretty hungry to fry up a muskrat. I'm just saying.
Does that mean spiced mead for Radcon? Yummmm.....
