Things Around the House


Ernie over at the Indiana Preppers Network was on The Power Hour with Joyce Riley this morning. She did a wonderful job in her discussion of the APN, among other things prepper! Check her out!

I tried my hand at strawberry jelly yesterday and am proud to say it all went well. I've never made jelly before so I am quite pleased with the results.

I found a great deal on fifteen pounds of potato's at the local grocery. I couldn't pass it up but the two of us will never eat fifteen pound's before they go bad. Now what in the world am I going to do with all those taters? LOL You guessed it! Break out the dehydrator and let her rip!

I'm trying out a recipe tonight in the slow cooker. Pork Loin (I'm going to treat it as a roast)with all food storage stuff. Dehydrated carrots and peas, dried celery, basil from the garden, and a few other things tossed in. It will be interesting to find out how all this stuff does. I'm glad I pulled out the carrots from the mason jar as somehow the seal let loose. Of course after finding that, I had to check all the other jars seal. Happy to say it was the only one!

  3. I've tried to post a number of times but my google acct gave me trouble. Just wanted to say your jam looks delicious. I'll bake the bread if you bring some over. I missed doing strawberry jam this season.

  4. Oh that looks so good. I know it is....We do roast porks all the time. We have one we do with just potatoes and onions in it. Hubby makes a brown sauce to cook it in. And to pour over it. The sauce is very German in taste. It's oh so good!
