"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[CackedNut]

I am in full blown "HOLIDAY MOOD/MODE"!!!! Listening to Christmas tunes, I am going to put up more decorations this weekend. Bought my first jug of eggnog and Christmas gift this morning! And I am seriously "Jones-ing" for a roasted Turkey dinner with all the trimmings!!!!

Anyone else in the holiday mood? I don't really separate the two, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its just a big ol' smushed up good time.



I don't have the best luck with deals if I don't get it when I see it. They are NEVER there when I go back. I found this set for my sister in law at Sam's club. Its a nice heavy set. Its marked $24.99 but until November 24th you get an extra $5.00 off. I can't beat that! I hope she likes it!

I'm having trouble switching into holiday mode this year. I better get on it!!!
Looks like a nice set for your sister-in-law.

Interesting. I have never tried it or been around anyone when they used it. But sometimes we see people and we are like......they HAVE TO be stoned or high on something!!! Because they just are not acting right at all! Hahaha!!! My sister used to smoke pot all the time when she was younger, but never around me. I may try dehydrating some potatoes someday when I find a good sale. I have some pumpkin sliced up into very thin slices to dehydrate. I'm just trying a small batch to see if I like them first. What other recipes do you use for citrus. Hubby said a guy at work is giving us......something citrus I don't remember. Maybe satsumas or oranges. I am trying to plan ahead and think of some things to do with them.

[COLOR=000000]A lot of people do marmalade but I tried it & we didn’t really care for it. Lemon curd is always good & you can use it in pies or whatever as well as on toast.

I juice most of my lemons & freeze it in ice trays, ziploc bag it & keep it in the freezer for use on fish, chicken, marinades, salad dressing, cooking, lemonade, etc. etc. I don’t have a whole lot of lemons this year so will mostly freeze the juice. I grate and freeze the rind also, I wrap a tablespoon in saran wrap & then put several of those in Ziplocs.

You can preserve them in salt but I never tried that.

Kumquats – ours are the tart kind, we sold most of them last year, but this year I’m going to try juicing and freezing them too, & also “kumquat curd”. It might be nice in cupcakes or something.

You can infuse them in vodka, too. You know those flavored vodkas are all the rage right now. Might make nice presents! And I bet Julie would make wine out of citrus, lol.[/COLOR]

Terri, I was in heaven the time you gave me all of the lemons . I juiced them and poured them in ice trays and was happier than a box of matches aside a stack of paper.

Just....YUMMMMMMM!! Especially lemon curd.... My poor stomach is still not back up and running with the rest of me.:/ It better hurry up and catch up! I wonder how many wines Julie has going right now?

Did someone say wine? I only have 20 gallons at this time. I'm slacking. I only have grape and satusma going now. I still have 20 gallons of frozen muscadine and 5 gallons of figs in the freezer. I have some apples that I need to use, so I may start some apple wine. I really want to try some tea wine, I just have to get enough raisins for that recipe. I have to buy more buckets because I don't have enough. Believe it or not ,I have not drank any wine in a couple weeks. I'm always looking for suggestions. The wine that I thought that I had messed up and made too sweet really turned out to be a great daiquir mix. I probably won't ever be able to re-creat that mistake. :/
