for those reading along who may not be familiar with this process. the reason for cutting them into chunks after pre-cooking and peeling is to make sure that there is no part left inside that doesn't have a chance to be fully and completely cooked during the pressure canning to kill off any...

i know! and what's even worse is that when Mom was making them i was really enjoying raiding her mixing bowl for bits of cookie dough. when i'm cleaning up after she bakes i also get the option of scraping any bowls i want for even more snacking. it's a tough life... (being the family dog)...

raw and rainy day today. didn't expect anyone to show up for the garden club meeting but i did get a few errands run for Mom and sat and read a book which i was going to return. a pleasant time (i love libraries :) ). talked to the clerks and caught an old friend there as she was checking out...

the fishies that were likely used and processed into those fake crab legs may have been wild caught, but all the processing involved they might as well have just slathered it all with corn syrup and red dye and ...

i made some cole slaw last night using what was left of the jar of Miracle Whip, added to that was some apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard packets and a squirt of extra mustard from the bigger jar, then added peanuts and leftover walnuts. turned out exactly how i imagined (i've done...

snow doesn't bother me. it gives me a good reason to stay inside and read a book or something... :) i lived up north for 15 years where they get a lot more snow than we get around here - so you can say i've been through much worse than most of what happens here... the winter before i left we...

yesterday got outside for some dirt therapy. put down four bags of bean pods, spread them out, put buckets of ashes down, moved dirt to fill in that low spot some more and then spread all that out to make sure things were covered and then turned it all once with the shovel. leveled it a bit...

at Grandma's house during the Great Depression she said they ate a lot of potatoes and onions and their butter was bacon grease. i'm sure they ate other things in season because a part of the family did have a farm and garden. i'm also sure my Dad was made to work in the garden at times...

sloppy joes with crackers crumbled in it last night. probably veggie soup tonight.

today is an age? who'd have thunk it? :)

i'm such a happy homebody. hope you enjoy your peace and quiet and whatever comes with it. :)

oh, yes, i quite agree with you there and that is how i prefer it. :) glad to hear it isn't an emergency thing then. *whew!*

we had "issues" probably from the blackberries. so yesterday was a day of that for me (Mom was dealing with it the day before) and so i wasn't up to complicated or spicy anything. tomato soup worked for later in the evening when i finally felt like i could risk more intake. gladly today seems...

hope everything is ok! i will eat spinach in any form. it helps with the canned stuff to put a little apple cider vinegar on it. i used to take cans of it to work and eat it cold right out of the can. cow-orkers would just shake their heads...

it is very simple here. i have beans to shell at the beginning, once those are done i try to get some pictures taken and posted. there's a few requests for seeds i need to send out. i have a seed swap to get ready for towards the end of winter. other projects and fun things like i need to...

cottage cheese and a few peanuts.
