I do love our air conditioning!<br /><br />I agree that putting up your own food is a very satisfying feeling. Being able to look at the shelves of food we have preserved brings great comfort.<br /><br />Keep at it and it will eventually all get done. At least that's what I keep telling myself.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />FernFrank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-83378783660060764532013-08-02T10:41:55.401-05:002013-08-02T10:41:55.401-05:00I'm right there with ya - well almost. I only ...I'm right there with ya - well almost. I only have two dogs that want attention. Just finished cutting up my cucs, onions, and bells and have them chillin' in the fridge for bread&butter pickles. Apples and pears are next to get chopped for the dehydrator. Then I'm trying to talk myself out of canning the beets and carrots. It's should be in the low 90's today and this old house has no air-con. Maybe I'll pick some more blackberries instead for canned pie filling. I do love this time of year though. It's makes me feeeeeel good and prosperous!<br /><br />Just like your candy bars, I wonder how many people have noticed sugar is in 4lb bags, not 5lbs. Nope, no inflation here either. ;}<br /><br />Stay cool Fern!herdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05931435597196563588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-68504273356038746122013-08-01T12:19:16.906-05:002013-08-01T12:19:16.906-05:00We planted an open pollinated corn this year - Cou...We planted an open pollinated corn this year - Country Gentlemen. It is white and the kernels aren't as watery (for lack of a better description). It's good.<br /><br />I am looking for a different dill pickle recipe. Would you mind sharing?<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />FernFrank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-54587591270340218542013-08-01T09:29:21.639-05:002013-08-01T09:29:21.639-05:00Is that shoe peg corn you put up?

Canning is full of sore fingers, sticky juice puddles and sweaty effort...but when I pull a jar of pear butter off the shelf for breakfast toast and it's snowing outside (yes, it does snow is AZ!)it's definitely worth it.<br /><br />P.S. Looking forward to the squash relish recipe...we have a lot of crooknecks this year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039969829520234519noreply@blogger.com
