WELCOME To Our "Hobby Farm" Due July 4th, 2026

I've had some requests for my English Muffin recipe.......
I thought I would post it here, as long as several of you have shown interest.

Let me know how it works for you, if you try it.
If you do not have a griddle, use your largest skillet.

If you don't have muffin rings, use an empty can of tuna, or cat food, that has both the top and bottom cut out. (Something in a can about 3 inches in diameter and approximately 2 inches high)
Spray with Pam, or other vegetable spray, or grease well with shortening.

Note that recipe says to SPLIT MUFFIN WITH A FORK.
Be certain to do this!
Splitting the muffin in half with a fork, leaves two ragged centers, that, when toasted, create a more crispy muffin.
Slicing the muffins in half with a knife results in a flat cut, and will NOT create crispy muffins as crispy.

This will be fun, I was raised on a farm, have had a garden most of my adult life, even a very small one with hubby doing most of the work now. I do flowers. I'll need your address please
 
AWESOME ATCs received from Sarahd.
Your watercolors are spectacular
Thank you so much for including a hostie.

I am keeping your Sweet Baby Calf.
It looks just like our most recent addition, which was a breach birth, and only the second breach birth I had to help with.
Breach births are very difficult, for the heifer, the calf, and for ME!!
I have tiny hands, so I have been designated as best suited to turn any breach baby with the least distress to the mother. (We had a breach birth goat years ago, so I had some previous experience.)
MESSY, but rewarding, and now both mother and baby are doing well.

Side note, I soiled so many towels during the birthing process that I took everything to the laundromat rather than spending an entire day doing the wash at home.
Unfortunately, the owner of the laundromat saw all the blood and called the cops.

Fortunately, I know the chief of police, and he, and his wife, and their two daughters, are all familiar with our hobby farm!!!
The girls consider our farm their PERSONAL petting zoo, and mom likes the free eggs, and surplus produce that we share.

BIG SIGH!!!!!!!

My cards are going in the mail tomorrow June 1st. I wanted to hand draw them all but I guess I didnt have it in me. I used a technique I've never used on the 2nd two. Print your picture, put wide clear packing tape over the image then pull the tape off. The image stays on the tape. I then glued it on the card that I painted in acrylic. It gives a feathered edge. I used clear Gesso over the top so it wouldn't be shiny.
