    What's for dinner?

    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.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    @Mini Horses There is NO Federal mandate to print expired/use by/best by on ANY food product. Its a sham. ONLY infant formula requires a hard stop date.

    I've read that the area is very hilly. So all that rain runs off the hills and ends up in the Guadalupe River. There are vids of it "coming" along a stretch.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I got tears in my eyes at the second vid. Mother and Father, Aunt and Uncle and her sis missing. And she was swept about 22 miles down the river and SURVIVED!! Yes, a Miracle.
