today in the life six am wake up seven am

today in the life.

six am- wake up

seven am- omelet:  eggs laid yesterday, a friend’s peppers, bacon i made myself (from my first pig i ever bought), and a raw, grassfed blue cheese made on a nearby farm.  tea, with a friend’s bees’ honey

eight am- checking in with the herd

nine am-  digging holes and building fences- eleven am

noon- killing thanksgiving turkeys – one pm

two pm- grind pork chunks for sausage making

three pm- chop, brown, and sweat various things for sausage making

four pm- sausage making

five pm- add ice to the turkey’s in my pick up truck (overnight in the water bath improves meat quality)

six pm- shower.  sit

seven pm- sausage.  pan.   dinner.

eight pm- head to the restaurant for a friend’s tv show’s debut on the cooking channel.  (the four coursemen)

ten pm-  sleep happy

why did i share my day with you?  hour by hour?  well, i dunno, i just kinda liked the way it went.  if you read that schedule, and didn’t like it, you must really love what you do.  cause i know, if you asked one-year-ago-me what i thought about this “busy day”, i woulda begged for it. 

just to be clear, today-jared doesn’t take this for granted either.  that’s why ten pm is sleep happy.  not pass out, or crash, or collapse, or some other typical state of exhaustion.  sleep happy.  i get to use my brain and my brawn, all day long—IN THE SUN—i get to grow food and cook food with my hands. 

and today, one good friend walked me through slaughtering my first ever turkey, and another taught me how to make sausages from scratch. 

i’m so excited it’s thanksgiving—i have so much to be thankful for.

——————————————————————————

wanna eat some of the thanksgiving sausage i just made (cranberries, bacon, and thyme)?  how about some of the bacon i just made this week with sea salt and local honey?

the person who sends me the email that i completely subjectively choose as the best will win the ihoc i’m thankful gift package:  six delicious sausages, six thick cut slices of amazing bacon, and one brand new ihoc t shirt, fresh off the press, will be mailed directly to your door.
