...Because the West Wasn't Won on Salad.: Interesting Finds

"I have never ranched for the money; it pays more grit than dollars. It is more for the feeling of a rain after a year-long drought, standing in the mud where the pasture was, laughing so loud and hard they could hear me in town. More for the pride of saving a newborn calf's life that even the vet said would not suckle. More for the huge knot that ties in my stomach when walking up to the seller's window at an auction barn. The knowing that the barbed wire scars will fade,

but my cattle blood line could run forever." -Anonymous

Interesting Finds

I love to read - whether it be magazines, books, blogs, journals - and I'm always searching for new fun things to read. The other day I was fumbling around on Amazon and I found my new prospects:

I will let you know how they go!

Another publication I've recently became fascinated with are The Farmer's Wife cookbooks. They are recipes taken from a magazine that was published in the 30's and 40's and I vote should come back into publication!

Not only are there some good recipes in them, but they also provide some much-needed entertainment. Pick up a Farmer's Wife Cookbook - you'll quickly see what I mean.
