Welcome to one of the un-fluffliest food blogs around. I may have nostalgic memories associated with this food, but they're not worth your scroll time. You'll find the recipe right below this picture. Enjoy! Ingredients: Please note: I am cooking dinner for 2 adults, 6 kids, and leftovers for lunch. This recipe will make a lot! 1 small roast (I often buy a London Broil) 3 32oz boxes of Beef Broth 2 Shallots 3-4 Garlic Cloves 1/2-1 tsp of Ginger Powder (you could use fresh ginger too!) 1 tsp of salt (or more, to taste) 3-4 TBSP Coconut Aminos Sesame Seed Oil 2 batches of ramen noodles (I use this recipe) or you can buy them Toppings: Cilantro Green onions Limes Of course you can add a lot more toppings, like boiled eggs, chile flakes, etc. We like to keep it simple. DirectionsTurn your instant pot on Saute and add the sesame oil.
Sprinkle the roast with salt and ginger powder. Sear it on both sides for a couple minutes. Remove it from the instant pot and add your shallots. Saute until transluscent. Add the minced garlic cloves and saute for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of broth to the instant pot and scrape the bottom clean. Put your roast back in with another cup or two of broth. Pressure cook for 12 minutes. I usually let it slow release while I'm making the noodles. When the roast is finished, remove it and keep it in the oven on warm. Add the rest of the broth to the instant pot, along with the ginger, salt, and aminos. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 or 15 minutes. The longer it simmer, the more flavorful it will be! Prepare your noodles as needed, slice the roast, and set out your toppings, and you're ready to go! I like to put the noodles in my bowl, add a couple slices of beef, and pour the broth over it all, then top it well. This is my pickiest kid's favorite meal and my least picky's kid's worst meal ever. I do not understand. Ha! If I have leftovers, I chop the meat into bite sized pieces, and store the meat, noodles, and broth together like a soup, to keep lunch prep quick and simple!

We didn't do the best research when we got our first goslings, and we paid for it by losing the majority of them. It was a hard lesson. And we're here to help you avoid learning it the hard way! (Note: if you're like me, you'll skim an article to see if it has the info you want before committing to read it. There's a bullet point list at the bottom with a summary of everything in this post for that purpose. ) There are some things about raising goslings that are similar to raising chicks, mainly:
However, we don't recommend raising goslings and chicks together for the first few weeks because they shouldn't be eating the same food. Especially if you use medicated chick feed. The medication in the chick feed can make your goslings sick. Alos, ducks and geese have a need for more niacin and protein than chickens do, and a waterfowl starter will usually provide that extra boost of both. (Note: if you need a quick boost of niacin for your goslings because you didn't start with the right feed, brewers yeast can do the trick.) We use Eden Feeds for all our poultry, but they don't have a starter feed for waterfowl. Most farm stores carry waterfowl starter feed or an all-fowl starter feed. Either are good options. If you're looking for a natural or organic feed, we recommend Kalmbach feeds. Geese are grazers and will love you forever if you can offer them plenty of fresh green grass to eat at even a few days old. Make sure it's warm outside and stay with them at all times when they're tiny. A hawk, dog, or even a cat love a good goose lunch. By 6 or 7 weeks, they can live almost solely on grass. As they get older and no longer need supervision outside, an orchard is a wonderful place for them to live, with its rich, green grass. They also provide invaluable pest control, so it's a win/win situation! Give them plenty of opportunities to swim, but don't let them swim alone! Without their mother to help them, they can't make their feathers waterproof and will drown if left in the water too long. Once your geese are about 10 weeks old, they will do just fine with your chickens. If you will be using them as guard geese, you'll want to transition them in with your chickens sooner than later so they can bond with them and provide that protection you're planning on. Geese are not meant to be alone and may even die of loneliness. They need at least one companion of the same species. If you're hoping for guard geese, three should be your limit. Any more than that and they form their own flock and will only look out for themselves. We have found 2 to be the perfect fit for us. A quick breakdown of all the info you need to raise goslings:

![]() Dear Diary, I took the time for a prenatal brushing today. Oh. My. Goodness. It was dreamy. I've been putting it off, because I was afraid it would be uncomfortable and I'm just not in the mood recently. Fortissimo kept telling me I needed to just try it. She's been getting one regularly and always raptures over it. I thought she was just being dramatic, but I was wrong. Now, here's hoping it will get things going and baby will arrive soon! I was so excited to be having a baby close to Forte's baby, but now I'm second-guessing it. She's been kind of rude lately. I've tried so hard to be there for her, since it's her first pregnancy. But she's been avoiding me the last few weeks - even worse, she's been quite snappish. I don't know what to make of it. I'll chalk it up to pregnancy hormones and hope I'm right. I miss our fun times together. Watching Speck's with her little one has me feeling quite antsy to meet this sweet baby. 14 months is such a long time! I do hope my baby won't be as rowdy at night as Stratus though. Horses are so dramatic. Speaking of horses and sleeping...What do you call a horse that likes to stay up late? (Looking at you, Speck's) A night mare. Hahaha - I need to remember that one. Anyway, I'm going to call it a night and try to get some sleep in before baby makes his/her arrival! -Minuet |
