I should give up on trying to determine how much propane we need. Back in June, 2022, I wrote this: We have a 500 gallon propane tank. They will only fill it 80% full so basically, we have a 400 gallon propane tank. There’s a minimum of 200 gallons to buy to get the lowest price. Our take was at 50% so I calculated it all in my head and that was 200 gallons. They came yesterday to put propane ...
My Favorite Season – Fall
The weather doesn't seem like fall at all - still in the upper 80's to mid-90's. Go away, Summer!! But, the leaves are pretty! We will never have the color seen in places like Vermont or Maine or other places in the northeast but it's pretty here right now. This morning we had a dump truck deliver a load of mushroom compost. The first year we were here, we had a man with a small trailer bring ...
Beef Rogan Josh to Can

While some of the recipes she shares are not tested and "approved", she knows what she's doing and she is careful about the ingredients she uses and she tests the pH on dishes that need to have the correct acidity for water bath canning. I trust her recipes completely. Last week she shared her method for making Beef Rogan ...
Gift Ideas
For anyone with a Corgi or Dachschund lover on your gift giving list, here are two ideas. Addie loves Corgis - they have two. While in Walmart yesterday, I saw these slippers. I grabbed her size and put it in the cart. Then I started thinking . . she's such a "teen" these days, maybe she would think they were stupid so I sent Nicole the picture and she wrote me back and said "Yes, she ...
Oui Yogurt Container Lids
Please tell me I am not the last person to find out about these lids that are supposed to fit the Oui yogurt bottles. Most of the time I make our yogurt but there are plenty of times I buy yogurt. There are several brands I like but most often, when buying, I will buy the Oui because it's just enough for me to eat without having leftovers. I also love Noosa yogurt but (1) it's not easy to find ...
Recalls
This post is not political so please don't post political comments. Have you ever seen so many recalls on food? Maybe it's on everything but I've mostly paid attention to food recalls. This morning I saw one for cookies and it's because there's milk in the cookies and it was left off the ingredient list. I can understand the why - if you're allergic to milk and read the label and see no milk, ...
