My freezer Inventory

You know what's interesting? They all like peanut butter. Dogs, cats, squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, birds...
I can tell you with all honesty, that I know ants hate it. You'll have to read my cycling journal going through Sweden though to find the proof.

I've not tried giving it to my chooks. Would have to be unsalted otherwise it will kill them.

We have a pair of nesting cardinals that come to snack on it pretty regularly over the past 2 years, along with the juveniles when they are learning to fly and fend for themselves. I do have a variety of seeds out for them (they love sunflower seeds especially) that are from commercial birdseed and we have a bird bath (AKA drinking trough for all the critters) so I guess they are keeping a handle on the sodium intake. I don't know if cardinals are smarter than chickens or not? The bluejays like it too, though they like the peanuts in shell the best. Even the woodpeckers, who I always thought ate only bugs, will come down to peck at it and have a few seeds as well.
 
After my last hated freezer clearing session I now keep a note. It takes a minute to update things going in and out but it’s so worth it when it comes to sitting down and menu planning or just deciding what I want to eat.
Also helped me when wanting to decide if the next shop is going to be frugal or extravagant, or just in preventing duplication of ingredients I already have.

I think the sauces, herbs and butters are my favourites shelves. Left over butters and sauces used to disappear into the freezer never to be seen again (until bin time), knowing there’s good gravy in there and I don’t need to make more for Sunday lunch is always pleasing.

Even Mr SSOAP’s on board and will update the shared note. Now theres a miracle in itself 😂

In the UK, our greater spotted woodpecker lived off raw peanuts from the feeder, but the green woodpecker or yaffle, never touched bird food at all. It lived off insects in the lawn and loved nothing more than raiding the numerous ants nests in it.

The woodpeckers we have here guard the bird feeders with a viciousness usually only displayed by cornered desperados. There’s only one other bird who’ll take them on, and that’s the mocking birds. They seem to do it for the sheer jerkiness of it, as they rarely ever eat anything from the feeders.

Mocking birds are just mean, and fearless too. Used to be a couple lived in my crabapple tree and they would tag team the crows. Crows are much bigger but they always left when the mockingbirds showed up.
