Gettin’ Freakin’ Old!
I gotta be getting too old to breathe! Phyllis, my neighbor, gave me four big red tomatoes--bigger than my fist, and four green bell peppers last night and I agonized over them spoiling before I could use them. I have probably a pound of green peppers in my freezer so that was out. My hubby suggested salsa and I thought of a chutney but both would have involved buying more ingredients and I was trying to use up what I had.
I finally pulled out the Good Housekeeping cook book and searched through it. I decided on a Tomato Herb Soup and Stuffed Green Peppers. I now have four meals of soup and eight peppers with extra stuffing freezing in the fridge. When they are solid we will seal them in Food Saver bags and take them to the freezer in the basement.
There is a good chance that my foot surgery will be soon so I have been taking stock of my duties around here and how I can set them up to do with only one foot. Where to put Brandy’s outside leash so I can let her out without going out. Where I need to put the inside bird seed so I can feed them and how am I going to feed and water Brandy and Molly. Phyllis said she would pick up things from the store for me. Jay can take Your Ride to most of his appointments and those out of the county we will have to call on the kids for help. Oh well we can do this if it is necessary!
Take care and stay well!
