Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

I would treasure a new handwritten recipe card from my mom right now.

Save it for the kiddos

It was so sweet of your mom to do.

I think it sounds delicious! You could use your own canned beans (if you can them). I'd use Swerve brown sugar substitute and low sugar ketchup.

One of the best things I received from my mother was her old cookbook with handwritten notes in the margins. No cover, falling apart, and well-loved.

Stay completely silent and walk away, far away just in case, lol
That commercial was not easy to understand but once the beans came up, totally hilarious!

I think I'll suddenly need to use the bathroom when/if this baked beans recipe discussion comes up between Mom and Farm Babe.

Farm babe cans her own beans in the pressure canner. We have cases of just canned beans

I had an in depth conversation about "hidden sugars" with my dr. There are many hidden sugars in mom's recipe, even the store bought bacon.

When we took porky to the processor, I insisted on uncured bacon. Farm Babe fried up a pound. First bite I"m like hey this is really good and memories of my childhood came back about eating REAL bacon.

My son who got half of porky called me and said Wow so this is what real bacon tastes like? I said yep, it's what I recall eating as a child. He said he never knew what he was missing

Farm Babe doesn't buy store bought ketchup, she makes and cans our own with garden veggies. I had some store bought ketchup last night at the neighbors. The sweet vinegar taste took me by surprise. I read the label, I probably shouldn't have done that

Uncured sliced pork belly, just like you remember

P.S. Keep growing and processing your own good clean food, every little bit helps

I have a "treasure chest", it's full of stuff like this that I treasure. But mainly drawings and notes from my grandkids that they drew or wrote for me.

How do I start? I just post? How do I make it a title for me? Sorry for asking so much.

1. click on the link in that post and it will bring you to the forum itself instead of a thread.

2. on the upper right there's a box titled "Post Thread", click on that.

3. fill in stuff, and press the "Post Thread" box on the bottom.

4. Edit things if needed, typos, etc. There's a box up top for that where you can edit the thread title itself too.

5. After a while the ability to edit goes away. Which is bad, because later on things change or you see a typo you missed and you want to fix it...

Good Morning All! Happy Sunday!
Coffee is ready and hot this AM.
Found out that my pup isn't really a pup. He's almost a year old, weighs 53.8 Lbs. Still not sure of his breed though, vet couldn't figure it out. she exclaimed "you have a very good dog, very well mannered and very good behavior". When she was doing the exam on his underbelly he went right to his back and just laid there for her. He is going to have to have surgery down the road though but nothing major- just going to get fixed and hopefully they can find his other testicle seeing how it never dropped. The vet doesn't think he'll get much bigger than what he is now but she doesn't want him to weigh more than 60 Lbs. On (OR NEAR) April 14th, my beagle is going in surgery- just getting fixed!!! I'm hoping that will calm his butt down and make him not want to pick "arguments" with one of the older all dogs all the time.
my coffee cup is empty!!!!!

Unless a valuable registered breeding dog, boy dogs don’t need their balls. They need them long enough to grow to size, then off they go. I feel the same way about female dogs. People who cannot pen up their females when in heat, just need to get them spayed. Shelters are full of mutts, Craigslist has half this and that, puppies. Not fair to the puppies.
