What you're saying we have to do has no connection to what I've always done to get here but I could never tell anyone what I do. I just do it@

I'm off to the haystack. I've ben yawning for the last hour and I'm ready to sleep! I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. And may God bless us, every one!

Good morning...

Off in a bit to take hubby to physio then home to dig tatters and can them.

Need to make a batch of baked beans and that is done easy in the IP. When we have a salads for a meal I like baked beans on top!!

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Mofninb Everyfriend! It's a cool morning but supposed to be hot and humid later! Cooper is here and he's ready for his morning walk. And I like to do that before the heat comes.

Later, Cathy is picking me up and we're making a trip to the Farmers Market to get more tomatoes. This time it will be spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce and paste for recipes. The only part of this that I'd rather not face is peeling the tomatoes. But what must be done, must be done!

AMY, I'm not sure if my job will be easier or yours will. I'm not a big fan of peeling potatoes either!

I better get Cooper out and be done with that before Cathy texts me to say she's ready to go! I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Back from physio and potatoes may have to wait. We had a nice rain and more may be on the way.
Jane, it took me a long time to wise up to peeling potatoes for canning. I now peel them with my apple peeler, one that screws onto the table. I does a reasonable job and yes, I do have a bit of hand work cleaning around the eyes of the potatoe. But..the job is much faster now!!

Still here. The sun angle says it is autumn but the thermometer thinks it is still summer. Hot and humid here today but not too unpleasant.

To join the food discussion...sort of....I ordered a food kit from Papa Spuds last week and made the best succotash I have ever had. Everything came fresh right from the local gardens except for salt, pepper, and garlic. Those things I always keep in the kitchen. All I needed to do was cut the corn off the cob, rinse the baby lima beans, chop up the other vegetables (tomatoes and onions), add the fresh basil, Italian parsley, other seasonings, and simmer it for about 20-30 minutes on the stove and we sat down to a really good dinner. David loved it, too.

I was tired from standing and walking that long but thoroughly enjoyed being productive once again.

Take care, All.

PHYLLIS and AMY, I'm interested in both your short cuts but the Papa Spuds thing sound like it might be local to where you live, PHYLLIS. However, that apple peeler thing might be something I can get for when I do potatoes. I'm going to look it up!

I got my tomatoes and I'm GOING to get them peeled this afternoon!!

Jane, this is the one I use..

Don't forget if you have a lot of corn to cut off the cob, stand the cob on top of an angel food pan and all the corn drops into the pan,easy to put into packaging or??? Less mess too

JaneS · August 31, 2022, 04:17:55 PM

DRAT!! I knew there was something I was forgetting when I did the corn!

JaneS · August 31, 2022, 11:06:39 PM

well, here I am, talking to myself again! I'm telling myself that I'm heading for the haystack. I don't have to be up early because Frankie doesn't go to work until 10 tomorrow so I won't have Cooper until about 9:45. But I feel sure I'll be awake earlier because they are still working on my neighbor's driveway and those truck that will be arriving at 7 a.m. are NOT quiet! And I'll have to be ready to run down to the corner when Frankie and Cooper get here because they won't be able to drive down the road.

All my stuff is ready to make spaghetti sauce to can tomorrow. So that's my day coming up. Gonna be a busy one...lots of maters and stuff! The cooking will take a while but I'm hoping to get it all done tomorrow! We shall see!

Almost forgot to say...PHYllIS your dinner plan sounds so good! Wish that was around here.

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. And may God bless us, every one!
