I Am Such A Procrastinator.....

Cuteness first... Ahhhhhh. Isn't she(I think) cute?
Could still turn out to be a he but I am pretty sure its a She...... She is so cute and cuddly. She is back outside now but comes in several times a day to be held and handled... She was 2 weeks old yesterday...

Good Bye Brown Bear...... He went to see his new girlfriends... He has 4 possibly 5 new girls to "talk" too.. The possibly 5 is because she is such a tall goat girl that my friend Joy is afraid he cant reach.. But I am betting he can..... Lol He cried out to the old girls they just watched didn't make a peep as he drove off.... Okay On to the procrastination.... I could have a lot of things done But no I piddle around till last minute... I will be doing most of the cooking Wednesday... I could have done some things today, even last week.... But Nooooo I didn't.. Oh wait I did get some of dessert done! lol You know the most important part of Thanksgiving dinner!!! Now if I can just keep everyone out of it....

This and That.....

Such an original title I have there!! The 2 newest babies.. We don't keep any of the babies. Some of you asked about naming them.. We don't do that either because they are almost 6 weeks old before we know if they are Boys or girls.. So then they are getting ready to go to new homes.. We let the new owners name them.. I am pretty sure these all have new homes. This will be all the baby bunnies till around February.Candice and Kyla out with the goats. It had been a few days since the goats had been out to roam. They enjoyed it very much. Two of the youngers were butting heads and wrestling around.. Who knew Boxes and paper would still occupy my girls at 12 yrs old!! Lol It was Kyla's idea and Kara helped... They built their own Pool table to play with marbles....My good deal from the other day.. A plant light for 99cents!! I got 2 that was all they had! It will come in handy to start seedlings! Yeah Deer Meat!! from my Nephew's deer he got.. This Marinated over night with Worcestershire's sauce, Marsala wine and Seasonings.. Slow cooked it yesterday and made gravy with the juice.. Served it over Mashed potatoes!! It was good.... I got a little over 55 pounds of meat ground and in the freezer..

The Chocolate truffles!! This one is rolled in black walnut meal.. We also rolled them in Cocoa, Powdered sugar and Cinnamon and sugar... They are hid in the frig till Thanksgiving... They are so good... And Fairly easy!! Hardest part was rolling them out with our hands... I am going to try some dark chocolate for Christmas..... Truffle recipe....
12 ounces of Semi sweet Bakers chocolate
1-8 ounce package of Cream cheese
2-3 tablespoons of milk or cream
3 cups of powdered sugar
2 teaspoons of Vanilla
Blend Cream cheese and Milk till smooth and creamy. I let my cream cheese set out and warm up some.
Add Powdered sugar gradually mix well... Add Vanilla and Melted chocolate blend till smooth.
Refrigerate for an hour or till cool..
Roll out into 1 inch balls and roll in Powdered sugar, cocoa, Chopped nuts, sprinkles or whatever else you think sounds good... I am also going to try coating some with almond bark see how that works!
We will be getting ready for Thanksgiving the next few days. Brown Bear the buck is leaving tomorrow to go visit the next group of girls. Its a busy week coming up and lots of Good Food!!
Have a good night everyone!
