    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    i certainly understand just wanting to take a break at times, but then i also know that by spring i'll be kicking myself for not getting enough exercise. i hate exercising just for the sake of it... MWF i should be going at least a half hour of some Tai Chi warmups and other exercises to keep...

    perhaps they had various collections they didn't want cleaning people or random visitors to be able to get at easily?

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    for fresh mushrooms we're usually paying about 0.16/ounce at the big box store. for canned ones at the stupormarket i think it runs about $1.50 per 15ounce can, but by the time you drain them you're probably actually getting half that.

    the little wild kingdom

    this isn't really holiday baking, it is a part of her normal routine baking. as i have not heard any cursing and haven't smelled smoke or the smoke detector going off she is doing ok. when i woke up i checked with her to make sure things were going ok and it was. as i am one of those people...

    the little wild kingdom

    Mom has her new mixer out (she fried the old one after many years of use - the replacement is the same brand but i can tell it isn't as well made so i suggested to her to not overload it - she probably will ignore my suggestions but i tried) to make cookies. i have 8hrs of music on. it's...

    What's for dinner?

    Mom made some pasta salad last week so i've come up with a few different ways to eat it as the idea of eating cold food wasn't very appealing to me. we had a last container of chicken a la king in the freezer which i took portions of and heated it up to get it hot but also to get the texture...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    they really are. as good eats. but also because if we didn't have fungi we'd have a lot of plant material stacked up all around...

    the little wild kingdom

    the key parts are to dress enough in layers, to not to have things tight that cut off circulation and don't get wet. like this morning when i went out to shovel i had my hat, scarf and gloves on and a coat and two layers on my legs. socks and then my crocs as there wasn't enough snow to worry...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    all good to know and i hope that helps you get your hot pepper sauce made properly at last! :) when i've watched a lot of the mass production big factory vids on-line i've always seen the peppers going in and getting cleaned in water and stuff like that but never saw them adding extra water to...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    i dislike lukewarm coffee or hot chocolate - i hardly ever set them down if possible and just sip sip sip until they're gone gone gone.

    the little wild kingdom

    we had a light dusting of snow and it was a full moon shining on me a few minutes ago. today is sunny with a high of 20F. i'll go out for a few minutes this morning and shovel just to make sure there's some spots of bare cement for Mom to drive on. hopefully it will all be gone when the sun...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    is that something you are adding? i don't do much fermenting here so it hasn't been a common thing to see, here are a few comments on it and approaches to preventing it: https://www.nwferments.com/prevention-and-treatment-of-kahm-yeast

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    what type of salt are you using? 3 T might be too much, but how big is the bottle? the amount of salt used seems to be about 1 and 1/4 teaspoons per cup of water.

    the little wild kingdom

    cathedral type ceiling makes any lowering not workable for the detector, but i was thinking last night of switching over to a battery one and setting up a pully and string arrangement... currently it isn't too hard for me to get up there but at some future date if i stay here longer i'll want...

    the little wild kingdom

    last night i'd stayed up a bit late and went to sleep, a few minutes after i fell asleep the smoke detector way up high started chirping. there is no fast or easy way to get to it. it involves going out in the garage, getting a ladder, bringing the ladder inside, setting the ladder up in Mom's...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    at least it is after Thanksgiving when decorations for Christmas should start making appearances... we have a few small things we put out but overall it's just not for us. we don't have a lot of storage space so having places for decorations would mean we'd have even less room for the stuff we...
