I thought you were going to say Harriet thought you were talking about a car. I found the difference in the coats fascinating. I am going to google and compare cheetahs, leopards , and jaguars right after I post this. We have not eaten beef since January 1, 2022, and we have kept to our pledge because of FTT. We only eat meat 2 days a week now and only seafood or chicken. I know we need to cut out chicken, too, but fried chicken( although I seldom indulge) would be my preference for my last supper, and I know how to prepare chicken a bazillion ways. I feel like a monster admitting that I eat it. Look away! My love to all, and I hope you find beavers at work.
Ha! But that is awesome about beef--it's really the biggest problem. My family eats chicken and fish on the weekend, and I do think you can find good local farmers (even of pork!). I do agree that fried chicken is pretty delicious.
I really enjoy your newsletter! And I love VICTUALS – we met Ronni at a wedding and I'm so glad we took her book home! I wonder if you take prompts/questions for nature investigations? I want to know why there are so many squirrels this year (we are in Texas). I've had to cover my raised beds in netting for the first time and still they manage to mess up my seedlings. Thank you!
Thank you, Rose! That's amazing about Ronni! I have never met her but I *love* that cookbook and her writing. The photos are so beautiful too. Actually Lora Smith who taught her how to pickle redbuds and who she mentions several times rented our house, years ago! And we will check on the squirrels! We're worried about the ones we have getting into our newly inoculated shiitake logs...

Let us know how they turn out, Mamie! You could also use anywhere you use capers (in a sauce for salmon, for example).
