@VJohnson You've been missed. Also I noted that the Ridgefield Costco has the HR small on sale for $1300. I'm considering it.

Oh, I like your choice. Sure wish we could grow Podocarpus up here. I miss them so much!!

100 today, 101 tomorrow and Sunday. Then cooling to 99, 96,95. UGH again.

I opened a jar of home canned potatoes, added fresh zucchini, dried onions, dried spinach, some home canned corned beef hash, and a sprinkle of fake bacon. Simmered and then dropped 6 eggs into the mix. Covered and let simmer. YUMMY, with toast on the side!

Donkey thru and thru

Those chartreuse things are guavas. I don't care for them as whole fruit but hubs loves them. Good job on the preserving!!

100 day before yesterday and the day before; 99 yesterday and reported to be 80 today. WHEW!

I tried my hand at smash burgers. They were actually better than slightly flattened burgers (frying pan) cus they were crispier.

I LOL'd at that description of Princess P.

At our Dept at the County Fair, we had a 42% increase in the number of jars entered, vs last year? Why? A very very active FB group is one reason. I'd like to think that folks are canning and dehydrating and freeze drying anything they can get their hands on, at a sale or clearance price...

Hi there. There are various types of deserts - some at low elevation, some at high ones. What is your annual rainfall? Approx where are you located?

I sent hubs to Lowes a few weeks ago to buy a chest freezer. Not that big, but I'm filling it with blanched produce for the winter.

I did my first FB live video the other day.

I did my first ever facebook live vid yesterday. Our County Fair opens up today. Dang. Won't attach. Phoey.

Zucchini casserole. Made up. Layered slices of large zuc with sauce mix of fresh tomatoes, can of garbanzos, dried onions, dried tomatoes, 2 home grown japanese eggplants, and spices. Middle layer was precooked sliced sausages and cheddar cheese. Now its in the oven on convection for an hour plus.

Beef Barbacoa. Took me three days to remember the name. :th

I made a beef dish the other day. Now typing this up, I cannot for the life of me remember the name. I'll have to come back later when I remember. But it was good, even tho I didn't have any adobo peppers in a can.

We had to make some last minute purchases (by the Fair) for more shelving. This section will be dedicated to the Freeze Dried entries.

Gearing up for the County Fair has me working half of each day this week. Thats me, having a rest from the concrete floors. This year, our entries are up by 42%!!!! Last year we had 944 entries. This year, there are 1343 entries. Looks like canning is resurging in importance.
