This is the beginning diary entry of how I will attempt to feed the Family Clog over the next 5 days spending only 50 Euros on provisions.
(It's never gonna work but it will be interesting to try it!)


I will admit that I have the free use of 'Augustine' and an over full pantry. But please bear in mind that our typical grocery bill for a week normally adds up to 180 Euros!

Augustine was the lovingly raised steer of Cloggy's side kick, 'Old Neighbour Dude', who was recently dispatched to greener pastures courtesy of the local abattoir. Unbeknown to me Cloggy had negotiated an 8th of his mortal remains against services rendered and these are now stuffing up my freezer. I returned home from the grocery store to find that I had no room for the pizza's, ice-cream and Jagermeister that I had purchased!

The bequest had also been given as a kind of good neighbours award which begs the question "What kind of neighbours did they have before we moved in?"  WHATEVER - Never look a gift horse in the mouth, as my Grammy might say.

 Smallest Baby Clog has now turned vegetarian on us all of a sudden!

If she craves meat after 2 days there are always Cloggy'schickens that are cluckin' around the homestead with too much of a confident strut. Just because they are rare breed doesn't mean they can't also be table fodder!

Here's a video clip, taken last summer, of the freezer content. He's a bit pissed orf because 'Old neighbour Dude' had put his water trough behind an electric fence, which still enabled him to get to drink, but stopped him from knocking his water over just for the hell of it.

I think I'll be only eating veggies as well this week!
