    Food prices June 2021

    Agree about comparison -- HOWEVER Costco (Kirkland) & Dole still offer peaches in jars roughly $8 & $4.50....most are cans, run In $2.50-$5. range, dependant on the store, size, syrup. Etc. Those at Rural King are pricey! 👍☺️ Sure pretty tho.

    Food prices June 2021

    Seed has been getting very pricey for past couple yrs. So much so that the catalogs say "10 seeds". I have always tried to use heirloom & save seed. Now I appreciate the cost of production is high, with all factors involved, yet I'm annoyed to have to pay the much higher price and only 10-12...

    What's for dinner?

    I'm not an egg eater. Not my favorite taste but, I do eat some scrambled, well done, with peppers, onion & butter. I make/can a tomato combo that's like Rotel. Now that's good on a buttery scrambled egg. Light hot from jalapeno but not burn you. Should eat more because they're here & good...

    We have farmers markets like you. This is geared toward bulk sales. Bushel, half bushels, etc. some locals with big gardens bring smaller amounts. Anyone can sell/buy. Many buyers here are supplying their own market stalls in surrounding housing communities, say 50 miles out. The melons...

    Went to a weekly produce auction tonight. Still early in season but ok selection. I wanted a bushel or so of tomatoes to can BUT not at $50-60. Plus there were some that were commercial type, picked under ripe, refrig stored, etc. Nope. No flavor there. I'll wait. Ahhh, decided nothing...

    What's for dinner?

    Too hot to cook. But I'm I have hard boiled 2 dz eggs, so looks like sandwiches may be it.🤣. I'll give half the eggs to DS & he can make his own egg salad. More sandwiches.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I've considered raised bed, even planter tubs. Don't really "need" a big garden anymore -- beyond bragging rights 😁. Just me to feed. But, I do grow extras for sharing & tossing to animals. Weather & work sched has kept it from happening this yr. Slept late -- yeah, 7 when I finally got up...

    Good of an excuse as any 👍😁 We had those off/on showers yesterday & into daybreak this morn. Too wet to do much. Grass needs a mow, ain't happening.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Another week has gone by & made cheese plus cajeta, still this for today's work to make room & another 2 gal in frig 😳 this is from one goat. A gallon a day adds up fast!! I love it, don't get me wrong, but she rivals zucchini with output. Imagine this, she will give 2 gal a day if I pull...

    Reminds me of old days at grandmas BUT no indoor plumbing -- just big metal tubs outside for ALL laundry🤣 There would be a fire with hot water brewing to add as needed. Whites first, then colors👍 Guess that's memories with my morning cuppa. Much cooler today, thankfully! Rains coming, half...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    MY thought on this was the price!! Dang, those large washers used to be about $6-8. Haven't been in a while but, best way for the large items. Nothing is like it used to be! 🥴 Those of us at retirement age notice it way more. These young things never knew it was less costly. Losing it...

    Are we living our dream?

    Chicks!! 😁 They are fun at first, then work, then more work if freezer fill. 🙄. I just incubated some that hatched 3 wks ago. For layer pullets & freezer roo. But only a few since a hen had hatched a few, plus I'd bought a few. It'll all work out. Are your a combo hatch or just freezer fill...
