Jim, Michelle and I plan to attend tomorrow, along with another couple who are club members of ours. Looking forward to it!

Dang, one of our homebrew club members mentioned this in January, but it slipped off my radar… until now. I’ll see if @Spousal Unit has any other plans for me on Saturday, sounds like a fun event.

I have about 10 pair of compression crew-height socks from https://www.ameswalker.com which I love. They come in different compression strengths and I use the middle strength ones. My feet swell if I’m up and around on them a lot during the day and in addition to helping with swelling, they are...
We revisited Tersiguel's today for our anniversary (40) dinner. Charlie wasn't our server but everything was just great, again. Today being Saturday, we opted for the 5:00 seating instead of the 7:15, and we were glad we did. The parking lot behind the restaurant was already full even then...
Today we canned Strawberry Habanero Pepper Jelly using the linked recipe as our base of operation. The quantity of strawberries was somewhat confusing... it reads 2 quarts of fresh strawberries stemmed and sliced... OK, does she mean 2 quarts of berries before stemming and slicing them, or 2...
Trying to convince myself and @Spousal Unit that we need a road trip to Ohio to pick out a Garand. It's a want rather than a need, and then I'd need to lay in a stock of yet another caliber ammo. But the want is strong...
Today we canned 7 pints of Crawfish Stock which was made from 9 lbs. of crawfish shells and corpses from last week's Mardi Gras. @Spousal Unit cooked the shells for several hours, removed the shells and reduced the stock a little more to her liking before chilling it in the fridge for a week to...
I'm in as well.
Not the disconnect it will seem like: we returned from the Petco store in Westminster earlier today with a few new aquarium fish including a small school of American Flagfish Killifish (pronounced "killy fish"). @Spousal Unit, evidencing that she does actually pay attention...
Thanks for sharing your recipe, I think we have some frozen venison somewhere which I’ll look into making into soup and canning.
I think the siphoning I have experienced on occasion is from not letting the pressure come down to Zero on its own without releasing any pressure manually to hurry...
Up for grabs is this kit to repair a chair or couch where your spring(s) have stretched out or gone << BOING >> . Includes 4 springs, brackets, screws, and covered steel wire used to weave between the springs to keep them in place and for added support under the furniture's cushions. I bought...
It was a gorgeous and warm sunny afternoon here to sit outside. I gazed up, and there had to be a hundred or more turkey buzzards gliding across the sky in groups of 10-20. I'm easily amused, and it was very cool to watch them ride the currents, there was barely a flap of a wing here and...
Retirement means time available for inane projects such as cataloging all of the canning recipes in all of my canning books. Just updated my spreadsheet with the most recently purchased recipe book, Blue Ribbon Canning, so I'm sharing it here. I actually use this to find recipes when I want to...
My last canning project for the foreseeable future was today's Apricot Chutney. It'll go great with a sharp cheddar on crackers or a baguette. It was my first time for this recipe. As a homebrewer I am much more comfortable using recipes which have more precise amounts than "2 medium onions"...
One more day... and more jars of candied jalapeños (aka Cowboy Candy). Also did a Chocolate-Cherry Jam, and Apricot-Habanero Jelly a couple days ago with jalapeños, and infused both of them with a little of the Carolina Reaper peppers for a little more zing. In our household jellies and jams...
