    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Again, truth in that....we all need to decide for ourselves. None was willy-nilly processing. I don't forage mushrooms because of my concerns (plus most don't wild grow here) but, I would if more trained & located where they grow. Choices 😁

    What's for dinner?

    Beautiful roast going on. Almost 5#, bought on sale & further markdown 👏 love the freezer! Lots of good meals, sandwiches & eventually some stew from this one. A couple jars of canned veg will be used, too. Better get a loaf of bread working.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    While this is all true, there are choices for jars & lids that offer better quality. Those new to canning may not realize this. They should investigate.

    Thanks y'all -- now I need to pull a roast out 🙄 But this mornings 34 temp out & 60 in makes me think an oven meal would be great!!! Heat the house.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Yep -- both grands canned with WB. All they had. It takes longer for some items but worked well apparently as the families lived long lives! 6 & 7 kids survived ... So, some things were "untested" by a named agency. The milk cows gave untainted raw milk, too. The wild game was plentiful 😉

    Major undertaking here too. Small freezer but chest type, so issues. However -- I entered my annual "no buy" winter early, so I'm looking & cooking thru it. The pantry is loaded, too. Coffee still plentiful. That & chocolate take extra space, even a buy if necessary!! :old priorities...

    Staple guns rarely handle the "staples" needed for heavy fence! But the thought was nice 🙂

    What's for dinner?

    Last night, got home from work at 7:30. Tired, starving and pulled a blessed stuffed pepper from the freezer! In a few MW minutes, I had a delicious meal. It felt gourmet, considering my state of mind!! 😂 Made the work to get it there worth it. 👍

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Glad it's been found & the surgery is reported to be a successful procedure & normally uncompromising. A month at home? Can be good 😋 Karma bit! Hoping it all goes smoothly.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Up before alarm. Back to "work" habits. Enjoying my wake up coffee, daylight is an hr away. I'll be doing chores with a headlamp again. 😁

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Will the manufacturer of one that doesn't seal back it with a replacement? That seems like a valid claim. Can it be used to cook -- an electric pot? I have an old, expensive brand, electric skillet that I love because of temp control & faster than slow cooker for some meals. It's stainless...

    Same thing I did yesterday, same reason. :lol: I got it tight enough but, one panel of wood is off and it's covered with a fence panel, heavy + hardware cloth, that I already had. Saved a trip to Lowe's in middle of it being done. I'll free range them again, starting with fenced run -- to be...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    With gov shut down, even SNAP is iffy....plus gov stopped so much funding for these food banks. I'm certain a few who go there might be ok without but, truly many depend on it. Esp some of the elderly. It's sad. I don't want to see anyone go hungry. My not far away area is heavy military &...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I'm in for lunch. Been doing repair & renovation on a chicken coop that's been sitting unused for a year. I intend to put these darned youngins in there tonight!! They have begun to think my porch is nice 😠 The incubated and early hatch bunch. A dozen. So catch at roost & move them to...

    Never had pear vinegar. Have a batch of apples I'm considering some ACV....but, not real dedicated to.
