Misfits Market – Part 3
I was always a bit skeptical of the Sunday delivery date. So on Sunday I looked at the expected delivery date and it was Tuesday. No biggie, holiday weekend and all that.

One of the things we make for ourselves is peanut butter.

First buy a boatload of peanuts on Amazon, or wherever you buy your stuff. We get ten pounds at a time.

Misfits Market-Part 1
So we are trying a new thing. In the past we’ve done a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). If you’re unfamiliar-it is a subscription for produce from a local farmer.
Not So Good, Al
So we did not have a good week as it pertains to spending. Our takeout exceeded our budget by a lot.
Getting Started With Chickens – Housing
You’ve got your chickens, they’re fed and watered and growing. They’re about ready to move to their permanent home. There are a lot of options for you. How fancy you go is entirely up to you.
Our first coop.
