That sounds like you're eating well. Good deal.

My sauerkraut was done fermenting so I transferred it to 3 pint jars and put it in the fridge. Then I made my dill pickles and dill green tomatoes. All is washed up and I'm relaxing now. Next project, go out and pick up pullet eggs.

I don't know if it's the right thing to do but I stuck a paring knife through all the whole green tomatoes so they'd pickle quicker.

Sounds good to me. I think those tomatoes are going to be delicious. Anxious to hear about them.

I have to punch another new hole in my belt. It's been slow but steady on the size reduction. Still fat. Size 16 jeans, but they are ladys jeans not womens now.

My pipe dream is to be the size I was when I graduated. That would be a modern size 4. I'd be super happy with a 10, though.

I made popcorn for lunch no guilt food it is what you put on them.
Cleaned the coop tables and boards put short pants on.
If I wear a belt it is weaved so can be what I am.
I weigh 126.4 not large but heck stretch to be 5 foot.

I have 1 pair in my size right now for when I want to look more put together. Wear the old jeans out.

All I'm going to say is that my undies are getting tighter. Nuff said.

And speaking of eating...

Big zucchini, trying it baked, seasoned with salt and pepper and thyme, a little shredded cheese and a couple of Johnsonville smoked sausages in each half. Baking at 400 degrees for however long. 45 minutes to an hour maybe. Probably more shredded cheese on top towards the end.

Oh yeah...I would love to get back to size 10. Still at a 12 or 14, misses, right now. Have to go shopping to figure out what size exactly so I can get some new clothes. At 5'7", I wouldn't even want to be in a 4. Good luck every one. We can do it!!!

That sounds like a long time. I''m sure you'll keep an eye on it. You're a great cook, so I'm sure it will turn out fabulous.

Garlic is cleaned and stored on wire in baskets. Works great. Only 40 heads left that we get to eat this year. I set 12 aside for planting and we have eaten the rest already. 12 is about twice what we planted last year I think.

I read in Farmers Almanac today that some old time farmers of garlic say it learns, so it's best to grow your own because it adapts to your soil and improves each year. Guess that means we won't do anything different this year with the soil. Last year we enriched it with compost from the veggie pile and the chicken pile. Worked great.

I depend a awful lot on the almanac.
I have a walking garlic it seeds itself.
