Oh my gosh, my rain gauge ran over in to the overflow...!!!
Comments (6)Well, for to long promises of rain didn't deliver, and thus, I was out on a bike ride. I wrote this about it: What are the best biking friends? The kind, you can call up and they are ready in next to no time to go for a ride with you. The kind that once it starts raining, ride with you in the rain, and "yoo hoo" when the thunder claps. The kind that say: lay the bike down... when you are stopped at a red light, during a down pour, and make swimming motions... and say: Lets go for a swim. Thanks Esther! She is that kind of riding friend. She rode to the Paseo Arts Festival with me, even made me a peanut butter sandwich... and wasn't perturbed at all, when it started raining. We were the only gals leaving at the festival (on a bike) during a nice heavy downpour. What a hoot! Of course, I had started riding from home to the Memorial Day Lakes to Lakes ride. Stopped to help Sherry with a flat, and then called Esther once we got to the second lake. I had a FABULOUS ride. Thanks to both Sherry and Esther!...See MoreOh My Gosh . . .

Comments (28)What a wonderful story! And congratulations on your lovely new furniture. I can hardly wait to see them in your home. Your story reminds me of something similar that happened to me about 15 years ago. I drove past an antique store every day on the way to work, and kept admiring a maple corner hutch in their window. I told my husband about it and said that I wanted to run in and check the price when I had a chance. But a few days later it was sold. I told my husband I was kicking myself for not making it in sooner, because I had really loved it. The next day when I got home from work, it was all set up in the dining room, with my dishes all arranged on the shelves. Turns out he was the one who had bought it! It was such a lovely thoughtful thing to do - it made me cry! What a guy!...See MoreOh my gosh, I finally got a pressure canner... now what?
Comments (6)Well, now there's all kinds of stuff you are able to can, with a pressure canner! I had to look up that brand, I'd never even heard of it. First, you can put the stuff in smaller jars, just not bigger ones. So process the half pints for the same time you do pints. And you can do pumpkin and winter squash, but in cubes, not in puree. You can process broth, stock, vegetables, soups, all kinds of things. Right now on my shelves I have chili, split pea soup, french onion soup, chicken, beef and duck stocks, cabbage roll soup, base for chicken noodle soup or chicken rice soup, cubes of beef, sweet and sour chicken (which I haven't tried yet, so I can't make rash promises). I had a problem canning dried beans, about half of them unsealed and the beans just soaked up the liquid, leving the beans dry and overcooked. I haven't had time to try again since then. I've canned salmon and taco filling and beef stew, as well as most of my garden vegetables. You cannot safely can pureed squash/pumpkin, as it is too thick and heat penetration is an issue. Noodles and pasta turn to mush, they're disgusting and dairy is pretty much a no-go. Flour used as thickener will clump and cornstarch loses it's thickening power, ClearJel is the way to go when canning. Some approved recipes have a little butter or fat in them, but not a lot. Good luck, and happy canning! Annie...See MoreOH my gosh... I laughed so hard...
Comments (18)DH and I just watched a clip of Drew Barrymore at age seven. She was so adorably funny. Her duel personality of childlike and suddenly adult comments tossed in reminded us so much of our 7 year old grand daughter who is 7 going on 30. Just don't want DGD to have the rough pre-teen/teens Drew had. There will never be another Johnny Carson. We watched him every night when he was on. stacey_mb Jonathon Winters was a great guy outside of the entertainment field also. DD and her friend met him once when they were around 13 when he came into her friend's father's gun shop. He joked with the girls, chatted them up and took a pic with them before making his purchase....See More- 8 years ago
