    We faired fine. The winds didn't get back at all. There were a few power outages, and I had my glass Mexican candles ready. Northern WA (hinotori and Porch) got hit much harder.

    What's for dinner?

    I found a moth eaten smoked ham leg in the freezer - no date. So I hacked at it, after thawing, so I could cram it into my round crock pot. I'll cook all day, then refrigerate, then skim the fat and save the meat. Soup for another day.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I got weepy yesterday, late afternoon. It didn't help that my Ball book pie filling overflowed out of two water bath'd jars, and I had left a 1.5" headspace. But I was weepy due to listening to old songs from the 70's and early 80's. Leo Sayer, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Seals and Crofts...

    What's for dinner?

    HEY!! I mixed a jar of home canned red beans with a jar of home canned ham and beans, then added two sliced hot dogs to it. Had some stale tortilla chips, so used those to thicken up the mix. YUMMY!! p.s. both jars were from 2021, so it was time to use up what I have hoarded.

    I made Mississippi Pot Roast last nite/early morning, in my crock pot. It uses pepperoncini. I shredded the beef, then put it and the bowl of broth, into the fridge so I can remove the excess fat layer on the broth tonite.
