@CapricornFarm blood in ear?
That's not a good thing to wake up to, sending prayers that it's nothing dramatic and an easy fix. Feel better.
Making sourdough biscuits today. Slept too late to make them this morning so they will be for supper tonight.
You guys are making my mouth hurt talking about bad teeth.
It's grey and gloomy here this morning. Foggy. 48 degrees. I'd be happy with a little snow to break up the monotony. Just told DH to brace himself, here comes the days upon days of not seeing sun.
Pumpkin. I grow sugar pumpkins. To process, I cut them in half or quarters, put time in a glass square casserole dish with about a half inch of water in it, cover with plastic wrap and pop em in the microwave until done. Takes a bit of time but when they come out you can scrape the meat off of the skin and put it in a colander or sieve to drain off the excess liquid. I then freeze it or use it immediately.
I was born and raised in central IL not far from where Libby's processed pumpkins that were grown and trucked in from fields in the next county. This time of the year there are semi loads of huge pie pumpkins being hauled through town in route to Morton and the factory and it wasn't unusual to have them roll off the top of the open semi. You had to be careful and not follow too close to the trucks but on occasion, one would survive the fall. My dad witnessed such an occasion and on an impulse, stopped, scooped up the 20+ pound pumpkin and brought it home.
I'll never forget helping my mom process that pumpkin. She had never done one before so it was peel, boil, strain, peel boil strain repeat.
Microwave method is a lot easier but I still have fond memories of the 'road kill' pumpkin pies we ate from that pumpkin.
who knew??
