    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I agree....many over cook & waste. I've always repurposed and eventually, chickens get scraps! 😄 Gotta buy them feed anyway, so toss to them. My own garbage disposals -- and they return the favor as eggs!

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Yep, turkey from freezer to frig day here, too. Even rethinking that as DD is cooking a full meal & I'll eat there -- but, there's the no leftovers thing 🤔. Might do a small ham instead & take some there, leaving this bird for week after. :idunno 3 turkeys to use up over winter! Two are...

    What small habit changes have saved you the most money over time?

    @FarmerJamie ... Agree, cook smaller OR cook with plans to can/freeze extra. Also, can more pints than qts. This can be challenging if you've always cooked for several people. I rarely use paper towels, opting for washables instead. Water down the liquid soaps & shampoos. They're thick and...

    What's for dinner?

    I'm wanting soup. Not caring what kind but, if I make a pot that means canning or freezing extras. Freezer full, so can. Don't think I'm in the mood but :idunno I'll think on it for a bit.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    :lol: I woke at 4:06....told myself NO. Turned over, snuggled into blankets & went back to sleep until 6. Coffee brewing. It's 33 outside. Not a rush outside day!

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    LOTS of sweets grown close to me in NC. They sell all the cull shapes/size for animal feed. Most stores here they're 20-30 cents a lb before Thanksgiving. Otherwise 59-89 a lb. It's a good time to buy/can. They're a good nutritional item! P-nuts, too....p-nut country here! Bulk for feed...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Yep, that's exactly how I did mine. 😁. Cut in similar size pieces. I steamed until peels were loose, nothing more. I used water & salt. Also I buy lids with the thicker rubber, made in USA

    The discount for using an app just makes NO sense to me. Annoying too, because I don't want all those apps on my phone! :idunno
