    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I bought a pork shoulder blade roast for $12. I got three quarts of meat out of it and about 3 C of yummy slow cooked shreds that I simmered with rice- making two meals for the three of us.

    What's for dinner?

    Used up a 5 lb bag of older russets - sliced them 1/2" thick. Made my own cream/cheese sauce. Toss with cubes of ham. Bake in oven at 400 for 45 minutes. Top casserole with 2 year old parmesan that was in the freezer. YUMMY!!!

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    I finally sprayed all my trees. Sorta. I found two bottles with spray handles in my stash. They all had estate sale prices on them. So I squirted away. Not thorough, but I did empty two larger bottles of stuff, so that I have more room to see and know what I already have. It'll do.

    I see tilapia on clearance at Wallys every so often. Its been a few years since I have used it. With prices the way they are rising, maybe its time to test it out again.

    We are staying in a Marriott's Towneplace suites in San Diego. Refrigerator and some kitchen stuff. So we went to a grocery store and bought salads, calif sushi rolls, bottle of wine, snacks, cheese, crackers. Soooo wonderful vs a restaurant.

    All school districts closed for today. We are getting snow (a little) and strong winds about 11 a.m. I've only seen one or two snow plows in my 3 winters here.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I'm in between Mt Hood and Mt St Helens. Since Helen already blew her top, Hood is the one to think about. But yeah, Cascadia Subduction Zone will hit me hard!
