The Razor Family Farms Challenge
April 14, 2008|Comments (7)
We really care about where our food comes from and make it top priority to buy whatever produce we cannot grow from local markets. Because we do not live in a farm community — we must grow and put away a lot of food. We’ve purchased chickens, ducks, guineas, and turkeys so we can afford to pull our support from industrial agriculture. We’ve worked and learned, read and dreamed of ways to make a difference in the world. We’ve posted our labors and discoveries for others to see.
We ask that you join us — not just read the blog (although that is very nice, too). Encourage others and challenge them to really think about the source of their food and the consequences of ignoring industrial agriculture. Then inspire them use their spending power (the vote we don’t have to register for) to let the world know that it is never okay to mistreat animals, disregard public safety, or push small family farms under. Spread the word. Join us and support sustainable agriculture.
Click on the chicken and find out more about the Razor Family Farms challenge. Get the code and post the button on your blog.

Okay, there are problems with the code. No, actually the code is fine it is Word Press that is dreadful. I’m contacting my technologically advanced friend, Carl, to help me fix this annoying problem. The code, while working just fine for me — is absolutely horrible to others. Beastly things, computers! I’m sorry, friends! I was so excited to launch the button! Yuck! You can, however, save the image to your computers and link it to this site if you would like. It won’t show up on your sidebar that way but you can can post about it.
WordPress folks: save the image, load it into your post then hyperlink it to the challenge page (http://razorfamilyfarms.com/blog/?page_id=348)
I’ll try to get this fixed very soon. Promise.
Again, I am so sorry! And Jayedee — you are just about the sweetest thing that ever there was. Check out her blog, folks! She’s amazing!
Because People Like to Say Salsa
April 14, 2008|Comments (11)
As some of you know, I’ve been busily canning up salsa the last few days. For the salsa buffs of the world, no over-the-counter salsa will do. Prescription strength heat is the drug of choice. My husband happens to be one of these individuals. I can’t make salsa too spicy for him.
The trick to making salsa that will clean the snot out of your sinus cavities faster than Borat can empty an English tearoom is to use pickled jalapeños instead of fresh. I take twenty-five pounds of good tomatoes and dunk them in boiling water and then remove their skins, cores, and seeds. Then I open up four quart jars of pickled jalapeños and dump them in the food processor and mince them. I chop the tomatoes into bite-sized cubes, add chopped onion & garlic paste. Everything is tossed together and brought to a boil. Cumin, oregano, and a ton of fresh cilantro gets tossed in just before canning. Voila! Spicy salsa has formed!
So here’s my question to you: what is the hottest food you’ve ever consumed? Where were you when you tried it? Did you enjoy it? Is there a funny story to go along with it? Do tell. The best story gets a prize. Congratulations, Robin! Read the really cool (I mean HOT!) stories below. You can still share yours, too!
