Deep fried potato wedges dipped in a light batter

I would dehydrate. Never tried canning them, other than making jam.

Pulled some steaks from the freezer this morning. Had meatloaf the last two nights.

Replaced my home built rickety printer stand this morning with a nice compact purchased stand. Takes up less space and doesn't wobble. Lolol

Times have changed. Childhood memories of Thanksgiving family meals (25+ people). Now, my kids are scattered all over with expectations from their spouses/SOs. We now get together when we can and enjoy our time together. Last year's Christmas was mid-January with pizza, chicken, and jo-jos...

Wife surprised me with this

Just the two of us on Thursday. Probably won't do anything special. Dinner Friday with the youngest daughter and her boyfriend. Turkey breast, mashed potatoes, and two vegetables to be determined. I will make an apple pie for dinner and a second one for her to take home. Maybe some low...

Wow, in the tote I went through yesterday, I found my collection of college bills from the 80s and the paperwork from my condo sale in 91. What a pack rat.

So between the snow last week, time change, and a gastro bug, felt like a slacker lately. Spent 4-5 hours this morning (after making the wife some French toast), puttering outside. Have the black walnuts spread out and smooshed in a spot in the garage, recycling ready to drop off, trimmed and...

The Hail Mary red beets did not work out. Got them planted about 3 weeks too late. Nothing bigger than marble sized. Pulled them up, cleaned up the bed. Cleaned up the asparagus bed. Happy that even though I had a late start planting additional crowns this year, every one of them pushed up...
