Yesterday we had the opportunity to witness the Pere Marquette 1225 roar through Birch Run. Such an awesome experience for our community to see this historic train. Also fun fact this IS the Polar Express!!!

During COVID Lynn started a "cooking at Cotone" page.... She posted the dishes and recipes we made...and it kinda faded out..... Well I was telling Lynn tonight that it needs to come back..... For example.... This was tonight's dish.... Marinated London broil, curry potatoes, Parmesan asparagus, all made on the flat top ...with a tortellini salad.... It was soooo good

A few updates:

Thank you to the person(s) who purchased all the maple syrup bottles out at the stand!!! Don't worry we are restocked!

We got 4 of our 8 rows of grapes trimmed. Going to try and get the rest trimmed by the end of the weekend.

It's been a long long day, but we managed to get the firewood restacked after this evenings storm. Old stuff on the left for next season and the new on the right that we will soon be cutting. Also found some prior woodchuck holes.... Will have to keep an eye on that.

This morning's breakfast, homemade airfryer Chicken and Waffles! Of course topped with our maple syrup😀

Air fryer chicken recipe is here: https://www.kimschob.com/air-fryer-chicken-and-waffles/

We recommend using farm dust for seasoning and only adding 1TBS of the seasoning.
