Winter is here early. Not my favorite season. I tolerate because -- well, no choice. :idunno don't like cold. So.....a month of cold & home alone I'm facing :lol:

Lentils left in bag from canning (enough to fill canner) were cooked and have been eaten 👍 didn't get to more sweets in jars. Maybe today. I really prefer baked but, love to have ready to eat quickly in pantry, too. Plus a whole case bought before Thanksgiving😋. While moving tons of stuff to...

Similar here. Cold and windy....makes it harder to deal with the temps. We'll be in teens tonight. Was 22 this morn 🥶🥶 and that's 15* below norm. Makes me worry how cold we'll be Jan/Feb, our coldest months. Have heated tubs at ready but they're $$$ to run for a long time. I usually plug...

@CrealCritter did you get some of that white???? 🥴🤪

Don't grow anything & maybe they'll go elsewhere 🥴

Just hit 10# 👍 4 pint lentils & ham; 4pint sweet potatoes. Prob another canner of sweets after this. Thanksgiving sale prices :lol: and there will still be raw sweets hanging out.

Lentils in ham broth...plus onion, carrot, potatoes.

On a chicken -- Do you put drops skin on back of neck, like a dog? My hens don't get the pampered baths :lol: maybe a single will if a problem. 😵‍💫 @CrealCritter did you guys have another home grown turkey this year? Assuming you still have them.....no pics in a long time 😔

At my house, I like white -- cats get most of dark. 😂 When I bake this turkey, late week, I'll make plates of ready to heat/eat too. My fav way to have a turkey dinner! No prep & wait time 😂

May be how/who packages the meats, the cuts, etc. some stores keep a butcher & cut or gring on site. Some receive everything prepackaged. Can be good or bad choice. One store I go to on occasion sells a lot of primal cuts & will prep to your desire. Steaks are not marbled enough for my...

@murphysranch do you have a greenhouse? I have only a starter type....tall 4 shelves...on back porch. It helps with just seed starts. A cold frame works as well, maybe better.😁 But this holds more.

You got to see your family & enjoy a meal! 😊 I saw my fam -- just that, saw & spoke. DD invited me to eat but, I wasn't hungry at time and didn't go. No biggie. Cooked a ham here on Fri, took some to her then, some to DS. Quiet for everyone. I have no other relatives to meet up with. We...

Cat fur??? :lol: I'd have just slid the tin pan & carcass in a clean plastic bag first...yeah, cold nights have kept some things cold as frig here, too 👍😁

I got mine, too. I'd like a jalapeno without much heat. 😁. I like the taste, not the fire.

@FarmerJamie that's more snow than I've had in past 2 yrs. More than enough! Hope I didn't jinx myself. Light rains here. Hot coffee & thinking about toast 😋

Chili. Made a small amount! Ate a bowlful & saved one. 😁 handful of ground beef from making burgers for freezer....canned beans, canned tomato, frozen chopped pepper/onion, spices👍 fast & easy. Those pies look like "breakfast is ready" 😁

I'm not ready for it either BUT....freeze is coming.🤬 Thurs night 30, Fri thru tues mid to LOW 20s:eek: 26-21 night temps for a whole week!!!! 40-45 days. :th:he you may get there, too. Outer slobovia is riding thru. 😖 That's my Feb weather. Hope Feb isn't even worse.

I don't watch or enjoy football on TV. I don't sign up for the streaming deals, or cable. Yeah, boring here 🤣 Only "local" channels & rarely watch those. Occasionally some old movies they play. Haven't been to a movie theater in years. :idunno DD texted that dinner is at 6 tomorrow. Ok...

Will your mom drink the broth? It can be quite good seasoned nicely. I make & keep several types for cooking or drinking....especially nice if you're sick & can't eat many solids.

Thanks! I was curious as much as anything and you cleared up the conditions nicely. The bean pics are very pretty, as well as nice to grow. He says maybe 1400 or so he has. That's a lotta beans!! 🤪 Here, I grow to use -- but, it's fun to see pretty, too. Eye candy, as we say. My plans...
