And so today I am taking a break. No more reading for me today other than my favorite blogs.
I am on a food preservation mission today. As I am writing this I have load of tomato's in the canner. There are cucumbers in the fridge soaking in their ice water bath just waiting for me to turn them into Bread and Butter Pickles this afternoon.
I also have a full load of potato's in the dehydrator. I haven't done potato's before but I am sure they will work out just fine. I haven't had any problems with anything I have dried yet, which is cool.
I have had so many "first times" this year. My first time canning vegetables. This has turned out well so far and another thing I now "know" how to do. They can't take your knowledge away!
Let's see.... first time dehydrating foods,First time canning veggies, first time learn my FoodSaver is more than a vacum sealer! I have video to prove it :) First time working in a really large garden, My first time to blog. hmmm..... I am sure there is more, I just can't seem to recall them all. Not a bad list at all....

ReplyDeletealthough it is important to know what is going on in the world and to be on top of all that your gov is trying to sneak by...some days we all need a break! so can those tomatoes, dry those potatoes, make those bread and butter pickles and feel truly accomplished! They can't ever take your knowledge away nor your friends!

The bravest thing a person over 30 can do is learn something new that will help them grow.

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in!
Have to love food preservation. I do spreads, dried fruits & veggies, herbs & spices and cordials. Now I'm going to learn how to hot water bath all sorts of things, scares me less than the pressure can style LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL Molly! I was scared of the pressure cooker too, I took an online canning class and went through a couple of canning runs with the Hubster's help and I got over the scared part! Water bath is the best place to start IMHO!
