Over the weekend, I had watched this video where she made several chicken dishes. The Hot Honey Chicken Cutlets looked so good! Yesterday I made it and it was super easy! I didn't have the Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce (thought I did!) so I used some homemade hot sauce, which is very similar to Sriracha and a little hot for Vince's liking so I added less hot sauce and more honey. We're having ...
Spiders
If you don't want to see pictures, don't go any farther. I'm posting a photo of some cayenne peppers I harvested recently so the spiders don't show up. We've had a garden spider in one of the Witch Hazel bushes for at least three months. I've named him Donovan but I really don't know if he's a boy or a girl. I remember that he was here the first part of July because I saw him, then there ...
Garlic Is Planted
Yesterday I got the garlic planted. I think/hope our daytime highs in the upper 90's have ended and, though it isn't as cool as I wish for mid-October, I had to get the garlic planted. The downstairs garage where I store it has been rather warm with two canners going almost every day and I'd be very sad if the garlic went back before I got next year's crop planted. After pulling out what I wanted ...
Halloween Projects Finished
These two were shown recently but I had a few things left to do on Stitchy Witches. Yesterday I painted the box and did a small bit of distressing, glued an extra layer of chenille trim and now these are finished. The two little scarecrows from the greenhouse came out to get in on the action! As always, there's a water hose in my picture! Didn't even notice it til I looked at the photos. If ...
Tuesday’s Canning Project
Got the red beans with sausage and ground beef canned. 17 quarts! See the second one back on the second row from the left? When I took the picture, it had not sealed and I was halfway hoping it wouldn't and we would have it for dinner tomorrow but it sealed. I had planned to can this in 1-1/2 pint jars instead of quart jars because I used 5 pounds of beans and wasn't sure I could get ...
Monday’s Canning Projects
The plan was to get the ham broth canned so I started on that before breakfast. It was an easy project because the broth had been in the roaster all night. All I had to do was scoop it up, pour it into the jars, straining it as I poured it. I really need to move those pears from the back of that table, don't I? They've been photo bombing my canning photos for weeks! I have to bring down ...
