Hodgepodge




I got into the stuff that I pickled a few weeks ago. The beets, they are good, I ate half a jar already, I might have to make more of them as I only did 3 jars ( I think) The sweet pickles, the flavor is OK, not as good as some store bought ones, and they also have a very odd texture! rubber and crunch at the same time, not a pleasant mouth feel! ( yuck ) I wonder if its cause the recipe that I used called for a salt/water bath overnight, maybe that's why they are rubbery.The dill pickles, they are also very good, I have had a few of them, and my jalapenos, the are hot and crunchy! perfect on a sandwich, which I did 2 times today ( ate sandwiches that is )
Micky the mouse has gone to his heavenly reward, with peanut butter as his last meal!
Its raining now, about time, my lawn is starting to look real brown, other then in the far south/west corner of the yard where Farmer Brown waters my lawn for me when he waters his corn fields, his do-hickey-waterer thing over shoots into my yard, so nice lush green grass over there!
Today my dear precious Abby went though the sliding screen door! How? I don't know! Its been there and being used for 3 months now! she normally barks for me to open it. but today, no bark, just a barge right on in! So I will fix that with duct tape as that's a fix all !
On Saturday (tomorrow) I might be helping my friends kill some chickens, I will take some pics of that for you all! I know that you all want to see that huh?!
My friend Linda from AK is going to come by on Sunday, she came down to MN for a class reunion and MSP is only 1 and 1/2 hour drive from me, so we are going to go to Alpha? its a small town that, according to Linda has the best cheese store ever! So I will get some cheese.


Also , for those that post a comment? Thanks! Its nice to see friends posting. Makes me feel good, like kittens and rainbows!

  1. Abby never has been the sharpest crayon in the box.

    And it's good to know Mickey went to his heavenly reward in good shape, after eating his diet peanut butter.

    I miss you! I'm going to fair tomorrow with Kathy and Mom and JoJo....I'm primarily a space holder in the kiddie lines for JoJo. I told mom that I was declaring 2 hours to myself to do whatever I want to do. But I won't have anyone with me so it'll probably be sad and boring.
