Product update/news/delivery

February 14, 2010

Hi All,

I was hoping to get more soap nuts in at the Warehouse but my wholesale

source is out. I am waiting for him to call when he gets more in.

GREAT NEWS!! I have a new source for tea bags (and they will double for

soap nuts once I can get them.).

I am so very pleased that I will be able to offer you my tea blends in

muslin bags. Not only are they made in the USA, they are made right here

in Minnesota. The quality is excellent and while the price is a little

higher than the other bags, I feel that they are well worth it. I'll see

if I can afford to absorb it.

Well, I've just got to make a trip down to the Warehouse but am not sure

when I'll be able to do it. Will shoot for Saturday but that most

certainly isn't set in stone. I'll update as the week progresses.

Are you folks enjoying the lamb and beef that got delivered last week?

I will make up a lamb seasoning mix and bring it down on my next trip.

The surgery that I had on my shoulder about 3 years ago has apparently

gone the same way as the surgery on my ankle, adding a new source of

constant pain to my life. I'm not sure about making spaetzle, since it

takes a lot of arm action. is also trucking, making him generally

unavailable to help me during the week.

My 2 yr old heifer, Snickers, is in the barn. She will not be waiting

for warmer weather to calve. She undoubtedly will only have a single but

is so big that I automatically worry about twins.

Darwin is at it again. He is out in the rabbit building and managed to

tangle up the electric cords, thereby breaking the light AND the

electric chicken waterer heater. Stupid moron, the heater cost almost as

much as he did. How he did this is a mystery, the light cord was up in

the air(light was hanging from a chain which got torn down too) and the

heater cord was in a PVC pipe. Rabbit-proof but obviously not

Darwin-proof. BTW, he was not wrapped up in anything this AM, wasn't

even near them. But I'm not fooled, the rabbits are too short and too

smart to have caused this much havoc.

Off to pickle some eggs,

Pat Z.
