I feel a bit guilty for soaking the bottle and washing the labels off.... but at least I have photos. The bottle now contains peppers and vinegar. My husband did some internet research on bottles, found quite a few that look like this one. But if you want to be amazed and amused, google...
Can you share your method for canning chili please? All the recipes I see call for adding the beans at serving time, but I would love to include them in the canning process. Do they stay firm?
I have a snub nose .357 - I love it!
We have a similar festival coming up (minus the rides), a Florida cracker and native indian festival. We've never gone, but I think this year we'll go take a look. Looks like you all had a great time.
No news on the car burglar. :(
Last night was my 2nd "Gardening for Dummies" class. In 5 hours we've already covered basic gardening, compost and building soil, pests, and plants that thrive in our county. The compost lecture alone was worth the price of the course, and the materials they...

Doesn't surprise me. Anything to make a buck. Someone told my husband last week that people have been getting arrested/fined here in our town for simply living together. We couldn't believe it, but when we researched it online, yep, people have been getting arrested and then fined $500 for...
I think it's funny how priorities can change over time. Back when I was working full time outside of the house, I was a clothes horse, and especially loves shoes and purses. They are still clogging up my closet. Now I have one pair of Skeechers sandals that I wear almost year 'round, and a pair...
I really need to get rid of a TON of clothes. Since I started working from home, I find myself wearing the same stuff week after week, comfy shorts and tanks in the summer, jeans and lightweight flannel shirts in the winter. I just replace as they get worn. I still have all my work clothes and...
My kitchen is too small for dishwasher too. I can't spare the cabinet space I'd lose. But since there is only the two of us, it's easy enough to wash up by hand, especially if I wash as I cook. And I spend a lot of time staring out the kitchen window too! :D
Now if only they made a mini...
Since I've had my light on my seedlings and have been running the dehydrator... I've turned off the a/c. Hubby wondered why it was so hot in the house. :D I'm kinda getting used to it now. Hopefully the light and dehydrator don't equal the power usage of the a/c.
I don't see how anyone can get around THIS ONE statement! It's ridiculous, no matter what the "context" or who the plaintiff is. Our rights are slowly being eroded because people see things like this and say "oh, well, in that "context" it's okay and doesn't affect me personally."
