The tiny farm deli.
Expanding the deli here on the tiny farm.
None of you will be shocked by the fact that I like to make my own deli items. From cheese, sauces, pestos and sausages; it's all part of the deli fun. Well, I have decided to add a new item to the McDowall Manor deli. Home dry cured and smoked, nitrite-free bacon. I'll also try to whip out a smoked pork belly dinner, just to see what it's like.
In other news, the farm flock has returned to 4 girls, 3 of whom are laying. No chickens were harmed in the process of turning the flock over. (It was Coral and Pearl who had to leave - ya can't kill a critter with a name!)
In perhaps less cheery news, Good Friday is coming. I'll serve two of the bigger fish for dinner but I want to smoke a third one to see if I can mimic the taste of smoked salmon. That would increase my deli-ability even more! (Ya reckon I just invented a new term? - deli-ability?)
I'll do an update blog or video or something on what worked and what didn't.

They didn't have the apostrophe Dianne. They are really just using the word ability, the deli part was just the name of the shop. So I reckon I am still of god-like status. (I don't really, but I wanted to use another apostrophe just to show off - LOL).

You are the so clever, can I put in my order. Sophie and I will be making cheese on Sunday, I will prep on Saturday. Will Swap Cheese for Bacon. Now where you are not so clever, you are not the first to use the term, deli-ability

- I am downright impressed at Bernie's Bagels and Deli ability to elude the attention of health inspectors and church groups alike.

Nice work.
Where did Coral and Pearl go? Don't tell me they went to live "on the farm".
