heck, here's how my daughter starts every search session. She goes through her school site.
It's www.abvm.org/school
then click on classrooms, go to 2nd grade, then it's sites to...
Dang it all, woman! And here I thought it would be the chocolate mayonaise cake that brought you running. I should've put crispy bacon on top the dark chocolate frosting....as Bimp turns away from the computer so she doesn't drool on it. That sounds really good. I might have to try that...
Ugh, it's been so gorgeous outside that the inside of the house has been neglected. SO, here we go:
1. Laundry, laundry, and more laundry
2. Apples in the dehyrdrator
3. Dishes and more dishes. (My 8YO cooked us supper last night, and she did a very good job, but her microwave fish ended up...
I grew up with pickled crabapples. I think they are really good. I'm sure for others, it would take getting used to. That also goes with pickled peaches, some people only can their peaches in a simple syrup, and we fought over the pickled peaches when I was a kid, and now my kids fight over...
What a beautiful day! It hit 80 here today! This afternoon, we took the kids to the local pumpkin patch and for $30 we had face painting, corn maze, tractor ride, snacks, petting zoo, haunted granary, pictures, and pumpkins. What a great afternoon! It was a great way to spend the day before...
Here is today's list:
1. Take sister to the airport :hit
2. Stop at Fleet Farm and pray (we need a smilie for that) that they still have some canning jars
3. Come home and do some more pickled crabapples.
4. Rest of the crabapples go for crabapple jelly.
5. Probably should do some laundry, but...
Little bits of this and that. Otherwise known as random thoughts. :)
1. Ok, the fabric softener dispenser does not come out, at least easily. So, we've been washing laundry and the blut glitter is not coming out on the clothes. For right now, it stays.
2. I canned about 350 apples...
"OFG! Oh, OFG..... Can I tempt you back with some more chocolate mayonaisse cake? Honey, where are you???????????"
Bimp sits down to wait and look at the clouds. "hey, doesn't that one look like bacon?"
7 quarts of pickled crabapples and 7 pints of pickled crabapples.
I still have crabapples to take care of. Seriously, I have like 3 empty canning jars IN THE HOUSE. Have to stop and buy :hit jars after I drop my sister at the airport today.
7 more pints of applesauce
3 1/2 pints of Beanie's caramel apple butter
Can you tell that the only jars I have left in the house are pints? Actually not quite true, I can see 4 empty quarts, but those are waiting for me to get my heinie in gear and do the pickled crab apples. Not happening...
Made it this morning.
Mine cooked up faster than the two hours, but my stove is hot, so it still only took 3/4 hour on low.
I think it's too sweet, but my daughter SURE loved :drool licking off the spoon.
What kind of felted stuff to you do? I've been doing needle felting and I also use wool craft felt to make things. But you're right, anyone who's trying to compete can't with the cheapo stuff. And people don't understand quality and the time that goes in to stuff, unless they do it themselves...
It's a Kenmore. I'm going to have to check that out, because it's still full of blue glitter. Miraculously, no glitter has gotten on any of the clothes when we had to do a load of clothes. Makes me wonder what else "I Don't Know" has shoved in there that I didn't notice. The blue glitter was...
21 pints of apple/pear sauce canned. 7 pints of grape juice. 3 quarts of grape juice. And 8 cups of grape juice to be made into grape jelly. :drool I have a problem, and I hope my husband will stop on his way home. I have lots of wide mouth lids, but no more wide mouth jars. :rolleyes: Then...
1. Make apple/pear sauce
2. Cook the wild grapes into juice
3. Pay the windshield repair people the deductible amount for our cracked windshield
4. Make the cinnamon syrup for the apple rings
5. dishes, laundry, yeah - regular stuff.
21 pints of cinnamon apple/pear sauce
8 pints of grape juice
3 quarts of grape juice
Now, I'm in the canning connundrum - have lots of wide mouth lids, ran out of wide mouth jars. Need more regular lids, but have lots of jars. Can't run to the store because watching kids. Good thing...
