There must not be that many hanging around because there not "Bugging" YOU !!!

They wave and say Hi cause you have a camera in your hand and not a can or RAID !!!

Busy Afternoon All...pulled the first canner of salsa off the stove...waiting to cool and another is set to go.

Here you go CC... from the blue book.
4 quarts peeled, cored,chopped tomatoes (about 2 dozen large)
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt (canning salt)

Combine all ingredients; cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Pour or ladle, hot into hot jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. ( I leave an inch)
Put on hot lid and ring and tighten.
Process pints 15 minutes, quarts 20 minutes at 10 pounds pressure.
Yield about 7 pints.

I double or triple the recipe because I do quarts.

If you're lazy or don't have time to process.... i've already let it totally cool and freeze in quart freezer bags, skipping the canner.

Help from the chicken health handbook TO... frothy eyes in growing and mature birds...chronic respiratory disease...prevalence is common...hope that helps.

Fixed the door on the small coop today. Hope it lasts a while.

Suzies dad always ate his gills with the bones in...I'm a filet guy....better than shrimp!

Later....bigz

Harvest Concord grapes? Check.
Make homemade pie crust? Check.
Remove skins from 335 concord grapes (I counted) -- not hard, just time consuming? Check.
Finish making & baking a delicious Concord grape pie? Check.
Labor of Love? Check.
Diet food? Heck no, a whopping 420 cal. PER SLICE! Divine! So glad Concord grapes only ripen in the Fall!!

Will freeze the rest of the grapes for later. Yummmmm.....

I love Fall, second favorite season after Spring!

Stay well & warm,
Elaine

I am really curious now.. Is that pie all full of the grape centers ? seeds? why did you peel the skins off? did you throw the skins away?

Is it similar to raisin pie ?? I love raisin pie..

I like to filet perch and bluegills and then boil them for just a few minutes in salty water.. then dip them in cold or ice water.. then get some good Hoffman House shrimp sauce and eat them cold, like shrimp.. more yummmmm..

Hey guys...been busy for an hour after getting home from work...with what ? You say...Well I have to tell you a bit of a story...This morning there was a message from Amy asking if I was hatching quail or if only Jim was. I told her that I was indeed hatching some and they are due on the 9th; a day before Jim's. She is hatching some too and got TWO! She was really glad to get them and not just one...so I tell her that I am raising the humidity tonite after work cause I havent done too much with them except add more eggs every day and once in a while a glass of hot water. Soooo, I get home tonight and talk a bit to the fam and start getting some hot water to dump in the bator. I open it and literally scream!!!! Now DH knows that I am not a screamer and then I start laughing...check this out!

Thirteen new babies!!! I guess they are really right that quail just POP out!

I also have a pick of my new pullet eggs from today:

Isnt that Cuckoo Marans egg to die for? Looks almost like a chocolate egg! Conspicuously missing is a BLUE egg from my Ameracauna...they better get moving!!!
OK--I am going to read now...seems I spied a little bug waving "HI!"

ETA: yup, that egg pic is blurry--it isnt your eyes! I had to take it without a flash because the white egg kept glaring! I guess my hands werent too steady either...
