Hi, I’m stopping by from the Gooseberry Patch!

This story just flooded me with memories. When I was a little girl, I lived next door to an uncle that raised cows. I could walk down to the fence & stand on one of the boards to be able to see & talk to the cows (I was probably around age 5). I loved those cows! I even named one of the calves after me… oh, my! My uncle was actually raising that particular calf as a beef cow – he (of course) ended up having to sell his cow to someone else, since he didn’t have the heart to eat my namesake!! My aunt still lives in the same home (my sweet uncle past away many years ago – I’m 44 now…) & my other aunt lives in the home where I used to live: that home was originally built by my grandmother when my dad was 11.

Love your blog! I must come back!!

Thanks for reminding me of an old favorite. Your picture of the finished meatballs really does look like little porcupines! I don’t remember my mum’s looking this good, so I’ll have to try your recipe 🙂

In reply to Danny Taylor. Thanks, Danny. Ella is the newest fan of Porcupine Meatballs. She ate about 6 or 7 last night. Finally.....I've got someone who loves them!

Thanks for the insight to good,piratical, safe and nutritional farming. Takes more effort but well worth it. Porcupine meatballs look yummy and easy to prepare and I can’t see why the kids were not impressed…must be the generation gap!!

You’ve got it, Mona girl! And….I had Jackson and Ella here for dinner tonight. Ella ate about 6 or 7 of the meatballs. She loved them! Jackson ate them, too, but not with the same fervor as Ella. Sunset Ranch is just about as perfect as it can be. Of course, that’s because Jim, Krista and sweet baby Emma are just about as perfect as they can be. 🙂

In reply to Kurt Halls. Kurt, You should go visit Jim, Krista and Sunset Ranch. Jim is the real deal, I can promise you that. You might want to subscribe to his newsletter so you can keep up with what's happening on the ranch.

That is how a day should be spent !! Very good story, when all we seem to hear about is lifes negatives, Jackie saves the day ! Jim represents a trend that this country is starting to follow. Producing your own and living off of the land that God gave us.
Kudos to you Jackie and I will be plannng a trip to enjoy his arena.

Okay, Jackie — when I visit you all in Florida, I want to spend a bit of time on Sunset Ranch. And I’d love porcupine meatballs for supper. My mom used to make them, and I was pretty much just as unimpressed about the porcupine angle as your kids, but now I’m terribly nostalgic for them. 🙂
