I woke up cuz DH was jamming out to Cajun music. I swear I felt like I was 7 years old and at my grandparents house. I felt like coming out of the room and saying, “Shouldn’t I be smelling bacon frying and coffee brewing?” Well I did have the coffee. Omg he has been busy!! I was tempted to take a picture of the table to ask if anyone has a messier table than me 😆. He bought shallots, beets and broccoli from a local man yesterday and he has been chopping stuff up. Let me just tell y’all, there is enough chopped onions all over the table that I am putting them in a small bag for my next meal. The sink was full of dishes, knives, leaves from the beets. But I was talking to my inner child, explaining HOW and WHY the kitchen is a mess and I just dealt with it. I mean we were out of onion tops because of the HHC batch. I have been curious about it but I haven’t tried it because of the gout. I heard it was good. Maybe just a half sandwich. Well if DH hadn’t been making this mess I would have had to chop up this stuff. He wants to pickle the beets. I just like beets 🤷‍♀️. But I guess I can mix the vinegar and water and add pickling spices for at least one quart. I once had been cleaning the coffee pot and I had it really clean but I did another run through with vinegar and water to just fill 2 hot jars that I had some small okra in.
The chickens are eating the grass down to the ground in the front yard. I hear a child. I think it’s the little boy next door talking to DH, like usual. He is planting the onion bulbs in flower pots and putting them on the front porch area. Gardening is gardening!!! He kills himself trying to make rows and most of the vegetables we eat come out of the gutter planter and pots. If he can grow food like that I hope he is satisfied.

I love pickled beets. A qt is just a tease...😄. Ahh beet greens are good eatin'....maybe a side with coon? ;) loooong time since I've had coon.

Onions I can caramelized & just eat. Like those.
