Canning fools

Pickles group:

Whole pickles:

Pickle Chips:

Bread and Butter pickles:

Salsa:


We (Kezri and I) spent this whole weekend bonding over the waterbath. We started with Saturday and doing the Salsa for this year. We were able to get 14 jard of salsa done and then on Sunday we ended up doing pickles. We weren't going to do pickles tillt he following week but the place I ordered the pickling cukes from got a box in early. We ended up with 5 quarts of whole pickles, 5 quarts of pickle chips, 7 pints of pickle wedges and 5 quarts of bread and butter pickles. (Mom, I think I found the recipe on my own. It called for celery seed and tumeric.) David loves them and hopefully they won't all be gone before you get to visit. Next weekend will be the apple butter and then I can put the canner away for the next year. I know every year I says this one will be the last but then at this time of year I can't help it. Oh I also made these awesome homemade fresh biscuits this weekend (from scratch not bisquick.) I felt like the only thing missing was the skirt, apron, and bonnett between the baking from scratch and the canning. It was a great productive weekend.

I love you Holly. Your blog reminded me of when we use to can.
All of us jammed in our small kitchen and spilling out into the dining area. Such sweet memories. Now you are making your own. Cherish these times for they slip by quickly and they are precious beyond words.

My wish list

Now this is by no means a buy these exact thing list. I figured I would gives some basic ideas and you can run from there. I am really getting into the shabby chic look for my kitchen. As you noticed in a previous post I have gotten a few things but I have a few more things I would love to have. These are just few. I like the white and the decorative look. I am also into anything that would go with my new Iphone. I really could use a case and I would absolutely love a docking station at home with speakers so I could use it here. Plus, my music was lost in our hard drive crash so an Itunes gift card would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Now I also love my Cricut and I have a ton of cartidges that I would love to have. The ones I am posting here are ones I don't have and ones that I would like to someday own. I am puting them in the order, with the most wanted on top. PLEASE DON"T THINK THIS IS AN HAVE TO GET ME LIST! THIS IS JUST SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS THAT I AM INTO RIGHT N...

LOVE CRAIGSLIST

Since the new house has a room for each of the girls we ran into a slight problem. Basically how do you make two beds into three and one dresser into three. So I jumped on Craigslist this morning and found two twin size mattresses for $10 each and then another person had 2 box springs for $5 for both. I also found two dressers, nice ones at that for $20 and $40. So I furnished two rooms for $85. We already have a twin bed frame. So I figured I will keep my eyes open for another twin bed frame and keep the bunk beds together so that we have a spare bed for visitors. YES, I expect everyone to come stay with us at least once, we are the cool people. Kalaree is going to refinish (paint) one of the dressers and the bed frame that we have now for her beehive project. How cool is that. Not only does she now have a dresser but she also now has her beehive project to do. WOO HOO!!!!! I am really quite proud of myself to get all this stuff for such a great price and now I don't have to worry...

LOVE craigslist.

I was doing my usual cruise through craigslist tonight when I stumbeld upon a find. A family in a neighboring town is moving and needed to get rid of their loveseat. Slightly sunfaded is how they discribed it but it was free. Well to my surprise when I scrolled down to look guess what I found.... Yup the exact match to our living room set. It is sunfaded, it even looks purple in spots. But hey ours is not in the best of shape either so who cares. So now we finally have enough seats in our living room to have everyone sit without someone being on the floor or a kitchen chair.
