I'm envious that you're in Italy - I have visited twice and been so inspired by the food traditions and so in love with the land. I'd love to hear more of your story ~ I'll explore your blog, which looks lovely and I heart the alternating English and Italian!<br /><br />~MwMilkweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358496166576984299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-41787494220472570412011-02-14T11:54:04.640-05:002011-02-14T11:54:04.640-05:00What a beautiful and interesting blog.

What a touching and lovely piece of writing. <br />I am reclaiming my parents house which hasn't been lived in since 1987, so at this time I'm focusing on tearing down ivy, but hope to do much more. I'm starting kind of late and doubt I will ever get to where you are with your canning and goat an all, but I'm going to try to go as far as I can. <br />your blog will provide much reading material.anna mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053997040371741100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-24021551635092615012011-01-25T19:45:09.830-05:002011-01-25T19:45:09.830-05:00You two are too kind.

I do have a couple of mead-related posts...here's a start: <br /><br />Herbal Meads: http://milkingweeds.blogspot.com/2009/09/making-herbal-meads.html<br /><br />Autumn Olive Mead:<br />http://milkingweeds.blogspot.com/2009/07/autumn-olive-mead.html<br /><br />Crabapple Cider/Mead:<br />http://milkingweeds.blogspot.com/2008/10/brewing-crabapples-mead-cyser-scrumpy.html<br /><br />Blackberry Mead:<br />http://milkingweeds.blogspot.com/2008/07/making-blackberry-mead.html<br /><br />I'm sure there are more as I am addicted to making wine out of free wild and feral foods....but that's what I found with a quick search. Thanks for reading, homegirl and internet friend!Milkweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358496166576984299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-7201584827832559102011-01-24T20:02:42.045-05:002011-01-24T20:02:42.045-05:00this is such a beautiful post - you should feel pr...this is such a beautiful post - you should feel proud of yourself, but you've made me feel like a major slacker. <br /><br />The only canned goods we have left are the things that weren't very popular - green tomato chutney, pickled green beans (the beans were a little overmature) and some beets. Nobody likes beets but me. My root cellar - also known as a few bins under the table on the porch - needs work, because the carrots and beets are starting to seriously mold. In fact, that's the job that I set for myself today and which I am currently avoiding - sort, scrub, and salvage whatever I can from those bins. <br /><br />The only other foods I have left over from last year are a few jars of cajeta (goat's milk caramel sauce) and some sauerkraut. Once again, the problem is nobody will eat the kraut but me... so how much should I really make?<br /><br />Anyway. I am envious of your glowing pantry. It's beautiful. Please write more about cider and mead!Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-58094920252829258212011-01-24T19:47:56.130-05:002011-01-24T19:47:56.130-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358194304460170717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868856291902994549.post-19957573077776510982011-01-24T19:46:16.930-05:002011-01-24T19:46:16.930-05:00HEy, I recognize that spread!

I am so glad you put food up and are so generous with sharing it with visitors. You make it look so fun and it always tastes so good and nourishes the body and spirit. I hope all is well out at Red Wing. Love to all. Your pal, DanaDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06903041643054527415noreply@blogger.com
