What did you do in the garden today?

This is another way to initiate a pineapple plant to fruit without chemicals.

If we have extra eggs, I will make a deep dish quiche, or maybe two, and freeze them in smaller containers to take and eat 2 pieces at a time. That uses a lot of eggs. I also make fresh custard that tastes really good, but only uses 2 eggs per batch. Dear Wife has a recipe for Leche Flan which uses lots of egg yolks, but not the whites. So we scamble up the egg whites for breakfast.

I'm not against giving eggs to charity, but I live in the country, and it costs me about $5.00 just to drive to town and back. So, we first try to use all our eggs at home in any way we can. Having recipes that use lots of eggs should be on everyone's list if you own a backyard flock. Then you never have to worry about what to do with a short term of excess eggs.

I use them for breakfast and homemade egg noodles. I scrambled the whites and gave them to the girls for a nice snack. I have given my mom over 2 dozen sold a dozen to the neighbors and today our youngest daughter is taking 2 1/2 dozen home with her.

If anyone else has eczema, I highly recommend this product. It ain’t cheap, but it’s actually less expensive than my prescription, not a steroid, and soaks in better than the steroid ointment.

Wow, it looks fantastic!

I canned 19 jars of home grown strawberry rhubarb jam (with xmas spices) for Christmas gifts today. My ball freshtec canner smells like burning electric. I am not happy about that. I finished canning ok but had the fire extinguisher nearby.

Well at least that's done, I've been dreading it. & they all sealed.

That's so beautiful. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to make my raised beds out of.

If you are looking for a recipe that uses a lot of eggs, here is an old recipe for chocolate fudge cake ( makes 3) but it’s not for people who are on a diet

Chocolate Fudge Pie

19 eggs
3 cups sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter
4 tablespoon vanilla flavoring
6 cups corn syrup
9 ounces Bakers unsweetened chocolate chips
2 pints heavy cream, whipped
3 pie shells

In large bowl mix eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Beat until firm. Add corn syrup.

Mix well. Melt butter and chocolate chips in double boiler, Add to first mixture mixing well until firm.

Pour into three 9¼-inch uncooked pie shells. Cook in a 400 degree oven about 45 minutes. Cool in the refrigerator 24 hours. Before serving add whipped cream

I will give the recipe a go. My son and grandchildren will love it. I'm not big on chocolate anymore. Although I still love no bake cookies and chocolate covered rice crispy and marshmallow cream balls

I have been busy trying to help my husband put in a vinyl floor in the laundry room. We got some of it done but after last night we found out that part of the subfloor needs to be replaced. . Every time we start a new project to update/upgrade the house we find another issue that has to be done before we can do the original one. I'm not sure if the people were drunk, stoned or just out right stupid but damn. It's been an uphill battle with the remodel but eventually we will either get it done or die trying.

As I say, guaranteed to take years off your life and add inches to your hips!

I looked it up, it was listed as out of stock... Do you have a link that still has it available?

Thank you!

We tried cement blocks, ugly and a PITA. I decided on metal, wood and plastic deteriorate really quickly here.

No, it says they are out and working to restock so hopefully it will be available again shortly. That’s where my daughter got it so I bookmarked it. They have a Tik Tok shop but we don’t want to try that and I imagine they’re out period.
