No picture, I was going to show Momma learning to blow snow a couple of weeks ago. We’ll see how well she learned tomorrow shen we are expected to get 4-5″ of snow. Beats the heck out of what the East Coast is expecting.

Now that I can breathe easier I hope to post more often instead of sitting here like a lump. watching Trick My Truck and Andre Rieu. So long ’til tomorrow.

Linda had just had ankle surgery and is recuperating at Emily’s. She will then be able to put weight on it and will drive home

Momma doesn’t like pressure canning,it scares her to see that gauge climbing and hearing that hiss from the pressure regulator. So she mixes up the chili batch & I help stir it. Then we bottle it, I load the canner & watch the gauge.

17 jars ready for processing, 10 are in the bottom layer

The excess we had for lunch

Only one did not seal, we had it later in the week

If you didn’t know, I love eggs in all forms. This is Baked(Shirred) Eggs with diced fresh tomatoes and sliced scallions,seasoned with salt & pepper and a little tarragon. Thats Dutch Apple pie Jam on the toast.

Baked Eggs

I got home from dialysis today to find Momma had peeled and cored enough Jonathon apples for the first batches of Dutch apple Pie Jam.

After lunch and a nap I chimed in to help. She had already made two batches. When done for the day we (she) had 25 jars finished. Pictures to follow, after the new camera is figured out.
