You got me wanting to make bread, but today I’m canning. Jelly. 🤔 Hm, I do need to make bread!

As soon as Christmas was over I contacted Presto, and it was a good thing because I hadn’t realized how early in January last year I had bought it. So I squeaked in just before the warranty expired. They sent me out a new pot right away. They did have a few questions for me to answer about how I...

Sweet potatoes I kind of cheated on the head space, so I guess I’ll see in the morning whether they all ping. The water in the canner is decidedly orange!

Grilled kielbasa. No sandals this time. Single digits out, so had to bundle up.

Ok before I posted a several year list of long term goals. I finally made a 2025 list. 1. Set up a “bulk” feeding and watering system for the chickens to streamline my daily chores and to make it possible to leave them for 3-4 days at a time for weekend trips. This would also allow longer trips...

Oh dear- I was hoping they grew out of that stage before they got to be teenagers! I doubt you would bore us! Even if it’s mundane things, it’s always interesting to see how people live in other countries. 😍

The secret to that is only going out for a few minutes at a time to check on progress and then going back in.

I wish I could wear my long sleeve shirts. I get hot in the house. DH will only put up with me turning the heat down to 68. 🥵

We had Cajun Linguine last night. Recipe calls for grilled sausage and chicken to be cut up and added to the sauce along with defrosted cooked shrimp. I love using my grill year round. Especially for bacon. Then there’s no grease mess in the house to clean up.

Lasagna is a huge favorite over here. I like to make extra and freeze it in single serving squares so anyone can have some whenever they want. Prime rib roast for dinner tonight. I scored an amazing markdown from a really nice sale price yesterday.

DH is planning to retire in 2027 when he turns 60. Then we hope to move to a more rural property. To that end, our 2024 goal was to clean out the basement by working on it for at least one hour every weekend throughout the winter. We stuck to that and made real progress, but there was still a...

I remember when Beyoncé was on the Super Bowl half time show and I had to ask my kids who she was! 🤭 (I did recognize the songs though.)

That’s what we had on Christmas too.

Oh, that’s different than the Sukhi’s. The Sukhi’s brand meals (there are a few different flavors) are in the cold, packaged food area. (Ours is across from the deli.) It comes in a package containing two pouches of the meal. We usually eat one and freeze the other for later. But still, I...

Then you will like it. Is it Sukhi’s?

Crunchy fish tacos with apple-cabbage slaw

I have to check into the warranty on mine because the nonstick coating inside the pot is all bubbly and rough up to where the water line goes. Above that is fine. I will now start keeping an eye on my metal wheel spoke part.

It seems like for dairy cows they would have to go by the cows’ internal clock. I never thought of that before. This year I decided to do that with my dachshunds. The one is 15 years old and losing weight. So I decided to feed her when she signals that she’s hungry, and maybe I can gradually...
