Getting to the Point!
Yesterday we went looking for pears to can Cinnamon Pears sometime this week and ended up at Mueller’s in Linden. We got a small bag of apples also. When I got home I remembered I needed Cider to make my applesauce so we drove over to Parker’s Orchards in Millington for that. I had 15 containers (canned and frozen) downstairs already but only two were my favorite made with Cognac so I thought I’d add a few more to the inventory.
This morning I went looking for the recipe and came across a Apple and Rhubarb Chutney recipe that looked pretty good so it was back over to Parker’s for more apples and I picked up another quart of cider in case I decided to make more applesauce. All told I came up with 11 -8 oz jars of chutney and 7 and a half pints of applesauce. I have enough apples left to may be make a batch of apple pie filling. (We will see in the morning),
The pears however have to sit for about a week before we can do them. Oh well I am not going any where!
Speaking of going anywhere I have to tell on me. I have a habit of not wearing a bra unless it is absolutely in bad taste to go without it. As Maxine says, “The most comfortable bra she has is a sweatshirt” and I agree. Anyway I chose to wear one when I took Jay to the Doctor on Thursday and found it not too uncomfortable after I got home. The only problem was I kept looking down trying to figure out what was in front of me. I was most fascinated to find it turned corners a little bit a head of me! Yep my pointers turned sitters, then flat out hang downs were trying to point again.
B D For S E B!
Last Saturday was Les’ birthday and Sunday Wes, Debra, Jasmine and her friend came up to help him celebrate. Cindy , Jay, and I were there also.
We didn’t have to say Lordy, Lordy Les is 40 because the cake and decorations said it for us.
Two important factors in this picture # 1 the gallon of dill pickles is a gift I remember to get for him every once in a while because he loves them. # 2 the hat his wife bought for him--I love it!!
Jay, Courtney, Les, and Anne were feasting on lasagna and garlic toast.
Along with Jasmine’s friend, Jasmine, and Wes while Debra, Cindy, and I manned the cameras. I think it was a Happy Birthday!
