Today was my last day of canning for a while; I canned 5 pts of calico lima beans and 11 pints of lg lima/butter beans. I now need to give the stove a good cleaning and put up the canner after I give it a good cleaning. I have a week to do the noodles and pasta and will do both on the same day. When I make noodles/pasta I use a couple dozen of eggs and it takes me most of the day to do it. The kitchen after noodles/pasta is always a flour mess. For sure next Wednesday or before I need to do a deep cleaning on the entire house and will take about a half a day to do.
Had a doctor appt today for my physical before the surgery and then off to the hospital for blood work and an EKG. This all made for a lot of sitting and waiting this afternoon and that is not my favorite thing to do. I took my Kindle with me to help pass the time and that helped.
Sure enjoyed the nice warm day today, tomorrow we have a 90% chance of rain and then Friday it is going to be only 50. I looked at the extended forecast and it looks like fall is finally here to stay :(
I am curious how you do your noodles.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you have been so busy. I love all the canning tips you have. I bet your larder is bursting at the seams.
I don't know what surgery you are having but good luck.
I just did a post on the noodles. Yes my canning closet is overflowing and have had to put some stuff another place.
DeleteI am having the basal joint in my left had replaced. I had it done to ,my right hand 3 years ago and am not looking forward to having it done. Either surgery or the pain, have had all the cortisone shots that they will give me.
Hi Paula,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog on the Barn Hop and am just amazed at all the canning you have done--good for you! You are quite the inspiration!!!
I am just starting to get involved in preserving food, and I hope to do my first canning before winter. I have some apples that I am planning on making apple pie filling. I will be referring back to your page as I can see that I could certainly learn a lot from you.
I hope all goes well with your surgery.
Canning can be addictive and that is a good addiction. The joy of learning something new and to be able to control what goes into the food you eat is wonderful. Thanks and good luck on the canning.
