Thank you, very much.
I don't have any stone crocks, but I do have a bunch of 3 gallon glass jars that I normally use for things like flour and rice. They should work.
I put onion and caraway into the sauerkraut when I'm cooking it.........especially when I'm doing it in the crockpot.
About six months ago, when I was doing low-carb, one evening when Xena's Guy was out of town I was foraging for dinner and ran across my abundant cheese drawer. (I buy cheese like regular women buy shoes.)
So I took out every cheese I had, cut off a little from each, arranged it on a plate lightest to fullest, and had me a Cheese Tray Dinner! It was SOOOOO GOOD.
Good luck! :)
I never forget that........I just tend to forget that other folks do not consider it a neccessity and so rarely mention it.
I actually make a garlic jelly - it is to die for with a roast....any kind of roast.
Thank you. She's a wonderful friend who would do anything in the world for me, so I like returning the favor.
My one food splurge that has gotten out of hand is snacks
Mine is Kraft Easy Mac - the microwaveable mac and cheese...........8 year olds love mac and cheese and 8yos can use the microwave.
But I understand what you are saying. Once school starts next week I'll be able to go back to having lots of homemade snacks on hand for after school. My friend and I share the car-pooling. I take her daughter and mine to school, and she picks them up in the afternoon.
My freezer is actually bigger than my refridgerator/freezer....it's a 25cubic foot upright and the one in the kitchen is only 19cf.
Right now it desperately needs to be defrosted........
I've got to give the author credit: the second sentence is one of the stupidest sentences I've ever read.
Bar none.
Think about that - an entire semi trailer full of dried peas, $80.
Thank G_D we have these problems.
Sounds great! Using up combined leftovers in a well-presented meal is an art. Ever watch that cooking channel show where the chef shows up at someone's house and, using only what happens to be in the fridge/cupboard, cooks up a gourmet dinner?
LOL! Now that's an important job, not to be entrusted to just anybody. I like it with steamed collards, drenched in garlic butter with plenty of sauteed mushrooms.
And next time you fry chicken, you be sure to soak the pieces in buttermilk for a whole day in fridge before rolling in flour and spices and frying it up in pork fat! (Forgive me if you already know this). A big black iron skillet is essential (shame on you if you don't have one!) :-)
I did it because I had started a stew and THOUGHT I had the tomato juice to go in it-I didn't . I didn't want to go to the store,; the V-8 was there-and history was made (or at least I had a new recipe that we all loved so much, we've only used v-8 since.)
Maybe too lazy?
Most people who quit smoking put on alot of weight so what then. Either insure a skinny smoker or a fat nonsmoker. What a delimma.
I have never mastered the art of frying chicken in a skillet....but one of these days I will......and I probably own more cast iron pots and pans than Carter has liver pills....
But I shouldn't have used the term "fry up" about the chicken livers....I was only sauteing them...I made chicken liver stroganoff.
I live in a small Tennessee town, around 25,000. We've got lots of fat people here.
I have very good friends in Charleston who make clam chowder with cream, potatoes and lots of butter (along with the clams and onions of course) and then fry fatback IN LARD to sprinkle on the top. Then they serve it with cornbread and fried kale (which I don't eat).
Wow, what a meal !
Square Foot Gardening - I highly recommend that book as well.
You can freeze potatoes if you wash and chop/slice them. They can get a bit mealy when frozen uncooked so I don't usually freeze mine - I keep a root cellar and put them in bins.
Air gun - fun target practice.
I had lots of rabbits this year but for some reason they didn't bother the garden. The squirrels can't seem to make it across the yard from the trees - I guess they feel too exposed that far away from the trees.
