Large Marge (Mrs Margarine) had 11 babies on her due date. She was looking huge but I would have never guessed she had that many in her especially since her first litter had 7.

I forgot how small they are when they are first born. The last batch of piglets is 75+ pounds now and I still call them baby pigs.

Philipino style quail adobo

These sweet and sour quail were served with garlic rice and steamed cabbage. They were super tender and so flavorful.

Technique:
- simmer cleaned quail in lemongrass and garlic until tender
- boil and peel quail eggs
- cook chopped onions, bay leaves and garlic until fragrant
- add the quail to the pot and cook with aromatics for a few minutes
- add the boiled quail eggs
- add your adobo (a mix of vinegar, soy sauce, a little sugar but use your favorite recipe) and simmer for a few more minutes and sauce has thickened slightly

Pulled quail tacos 🌮

This is more an inspiration than an official recipe. The pulled meat would freeze well for meal prep/easy meals later. This was a fun way to something a little different with quail.

Ingredients:

Crockpot Quail
- 8 skinned and cleaned quail
- juice of two oranges
- juice of lime
- soy sauce
- garlic smashed
- thin sliced white onion
- jalapeno sliced
- Worcestershire sauce
- cup of chicken stock

Taco Toppings
- red onion
- cotija cheese
- lime juice
- picked jalapeno
- shredded cabbage
- cilantro
- avocado

Cook the quail for about 4 hours on high in the crockpot until tender and falling off the bone. Pick the meat off the bones but save the juice they cooked in and add it back to the picked meat.

Don't skip on the tortillas and actually make some nice corn tortillas. The taste difference between store bought corn tortillas and ones made fresh is night and day. Homemade is actually tender and pliable unlike store bought.

Add some pulled meat in pan juices and whatever toppings your heart desires.

I was doing a little mulching and cleaning after the hurricane and suddenly my hand was burning. Then I noticed my ear was burning too. No ants on me and I'm not allergic to any plants so I went back to the last place I was brushing up against plants because I knew it had to be a caterpillar and I found the Japanese Maple covered in them.

These are southern flannel moth (Megalopyge opercularis) caterpillars and they are considered the most venomous caterpillar in the United States. They certainly hurt.

Construction zone 🚧

We did lots of building lately to make our lives and animal lives better. The sheep shed and working pen is just about done after it gets a little bit of stain on the wood. Stiles and a new giant baby pig hut got added as well. They seem to like the hut and I like the ease of the stiles to get to different parts of the pen. Sorry to everyone that had to hear hours of the palm nailer.

What's your best guess on how many little pigs she's got in there? My best mamma had 7 in the last litter.

It's time to turn over the flock. Some of the birds I've had in the coop for over 2 years and they'll soon become less productive which is not great if you use them for meat and eggs. That being said, I'll be working through some new quail recipes soon. Follow along for delicious quail meals coming soon 🧑‍🍳

We drove up to Georgia for some things today and grabbed more than 50 pounds of overripe, blemished or soft produce for the pigs. We got peaches, cucumbers, watermelons, and tomatoes. The pigs get an excellent treat, we support local businesses and farmers and divert things from the landfill. It's a pretty solid win-win situation.

We'll be eating nothing but orange foods for a while. Let me know if you want any Seminole pumpkins!

The deer got most of the pumpkins that grew from the manure pile in the woods but not all of them. Tonight we found two nice healthy Seminole pumpkins and tossed them into the pig pen. This makes my Halloween loving heart happy to see the animals indulging in fall as well.
