    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I'm ok. Dad had a rough go, for a long while. He was ready. For him, I'm happy he's free from pain. But, I'm lonesome for both mom and dad. I do have 3 awesome siblings, though. We are all very close

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    On Saturday ~ my dad joined my mom in heaven. He was 91 years old, and just missed my mom so much. She left us in July. They were the best parents on earth.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    My first Jersey Devil tomato sprout just popped up. That only took 4 days in my AeroGarden!

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I started some tomatoes in my AeroGarden. I realize I'm early, but the plan is to transplant them when they're medium-sized seedlings, into small pots - so I can free up the AeroGarden for more starts. Probably dill and basil. I also have a growing "domed-bin, of sorts" that I'll start some...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I'm not sure where this story started, so I'll butt in, here, if that's ok. As far as sugar - an excellent supplement to take daily, is Ceylon cinnamon. It helps regulate sugar. You can get capsules to swallow, or ground cinnamon to add to foods - but it must be Ceylon. 1/2 tsp. daily is good...

    Thank you, Grandma! So a scoby is sort of... mold? So is black tea the only way to make it? I have some - just wondering. Edit to add: my store carries GT's, but not the original. Would one of their fruity varieties work? I feel like I need to read up a bit before ai dive in

    Wow! You have had a busy couple of days! I've always wanted to try. Kombucha. I have no idea how to get started. Where to get the starter... what do they call that? The mother?

    Well, it's Groundhog Day... again! 😁 One of my favorite days of the year. 46 days Until spring!! 🦋 Clouds, now - but earlier, it was incredibly bright. DH drove me to a "new to me" feed supplier, in a nearby town. Family owned. Very nice folks. Then we stopped for breakfast at the coney. Came...

    https://m.youtube.com/@live.life.simple. I'm not sure why it's not linking to the recipe. If you query live.life.simple on YouTube, there are great videos. I was trying to share this man's recipe for freeze dried zucchini crackers. So yummy! I will make these every year at zucchini harvest time 😋

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    That's good to know. The only meat I've freeze dried raw was some venison cubes that DH will use in chili, at some point. I have lots of freeze dried eggs, veggies, fruits... and some meals. It's great when there're left overs. Have you tried cubed, ice cream sandwiches, for snacking? Yum

    Well... for sure, they'd do dog treats for you. But, unless you use it for a lot more ~ those would be some pretty "spendy" treats! 😉 On the other hand ~ yesterday, I included peas and corn in my freeze dryer load, just to make sure our Parrot always had access to them, if we should be unable...
