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

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.

My DH actually asked me the other night: I know you like doing all this work, but do you think we will ever use it? :he

The wind blew one of our apple trees over - its was a long twig three years ago when we bought it from Stark. Now its about 5' tall and the vineyard stretchy tape broke, which was anchoring it to a flimsy stake. Luckily it didn't break so we propped it up and used a t-post and more of the...

And now its flooding in NYC?? geez....

@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. Sadly our ignorant Director of our Pantry mandates that anything older than 6 months from today's date, be thrown into the dumpster. GRRRRRR...
