      Your new house was nice and had been better built but I disliked a house sitting in middle of a cleared forest! Unattractive with trees and nature around it. Does that area have all the berries that you all like to pick? Can your chickens live that far north?

One of the viewers mentioned cooking Fava Beans with Chanterelles and immediately I thought of Eric. Here is the viewer's comment if you need to look them up. "My fav is fava beans with chanterelles in coconut milk. You cook your fave beans, meanwhile soute some onions either in oil or ghee - that's my favourite, add some salt, then the mushrooms. Once the fava beans are cooked add them to the mushrooms and onions. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few minutes, then add coconut milk. Cook until fava beans are tender. I also like to break the skin of fava beans before I add them to mushrooms and onion, so they will acquire more test of the whole mixture. But that is not necessary. Buon appetite!" I hope this a recipe that you can eat fresh or pressure can.
