Any Home Bakers Here?

I love applesauce and peanut butter on toasted raisin bread topped with a sliced banana and sprinkled with cinnamon for breakfast ... Not hungry again till afternoon.

That sounds really, good!

All laid up still Hope I can try some baking soon, maybe with the boot on and a lovely stool to sit on.

We have a wood fireplace and have already gotten our half or whole cord of wood, I don't remember. It takes forever to get cold here but once it does it can dip to 14 F which is arctic down here.

The Honey crisp is not spendy here but East of the mountain here they developed it .. Pare it with Granny Smith make a great pie..

I use Honeycrisp by itself to make a great pie or apple dumpling. This year I get to go outside and pick my own Honeycrisp.

Wow, we have a few every year! I think we've had 4 or 5 already this year. We bought a generator years ago, and it has saved a lot of food in the fridge and freezer, that's for sure.

I love those. Honeycrisp are great (but expensive to buy), and so are Empire, with their tangy taste.

We had an outage for 2 hours this year. We had no outages last year but my Boss that lives on the other side of town had an outage that lasted days! She asked for reimbursement form PGE for spoiled food.

We are on the same grid as the county prison so they need to keep power up for that place.

Around here Ridley's beats everyone's price for Honeycrisp. They often sell them at 98 cents a pound.

I make Fire Logs out of read newspapers. Roll tightly twist and make a knot.

I've tried that mostly for starting a fire but with not much luck. I wonder if there are odd "things" in our paper that make it not burn well.

Fill the tub so you can flush!

If the outage is pre-freezing weather we can get water from the stupid pool. Otherwise it is tub, 5 gallon buckets or old kitty litter jugs.

Of course that SHOULD all be in the past, the Powerwalls were installed last week.

but once it does it can dip to 14 F which is arctic down here.

I would never have guessed it got near that cold in Baton Rouge ever, let alone with any frequency!

I use Honeycrisp by itself to make a great pie

DW's go to pie apple is Cortland.

She asked for reimbursement form PGE for spoiled food.

And they said ?

Congrats on the Friend badge @Sally PB !!
