Gawd I hate it when i'm busy...usually means I gotta sweat! I HATE sweating! but today was different...gots to sit in the a/c and make salads! made lots of cucumber salads, some for us and some for friends near by. did a bunch of bacon on the flat top grill, smoked sum pork loin, be smoking sum chicky tomarrow, ate a few BLT's for supper, and then back to making more "ahead" meals for this winter! friends near by keep bringing us stuff outta their gardens, and so I make meals outta it and freeze some and give some back. I have bundles of garlic hanging in the tent, prolly enough to last 2=3 years! lol, sure smells good tho! may hafta go to wally world and pick up a few additives for tomarrows chores. I do gotta smoke up some more crispy bacon for adding to different things. any of ya'll have a "dough" recipe for making ciminum, cinimum...oh heck you know what i'm trying to spell...I want to make up sum rolls and freeze them.

Glad you been keeping busy buddy. Made cucumber salad yesterday and my shift ate that all up. Nothing better than home grown.

Well, if you're busy, that must mean that you're feeling okay. That's a good thing. And if you're busy, that keeps you from getting into trouble, and that's another good thing. Just save some work for this winter so that you are too busy to mess with that blasted snow machine! Darrel

Good to hear. Free foods the best, specially when you know it ultimately ends up down the drain. I won't raze ya on the CINNAMON ROLLS, we all have weaknesses. Wink

Naw Ray,,,,,,,lets start a little south of San Diego and go nort........

Dale, have you got a food vacuum machine?  You can do this to a LOT of food stuffs and they will last a LONG time.  I do it with onions now too and they last for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well, it's been almost 6 months so far.  I peel em and cut off both ends and just vacuum and they stay,,,,,,,,we'll see.
I'm starting on herbs and spices now too to see......can't hurt.  Now that you mention it, I'm gonna try garlic!!
I roasted two pigs (90#s each) for a wedding yesterday.  Did em on a spit on my grill/cooker.  I've done a LOT of chicken on it, but I added a spit with an electric motor and it went for 7 hours and did good.  There were supposed to be 150 to 200 people there, but I think just over 100 were there.  Still wasn't much pork left.......they loved it, I got a LOT of compliments.  Turned it all into pulled pork.

yes...I have a vacuum machine and use it a lot. when I find good sales on meats I buy up and vacuum bag it. I also cut up or dice a lot of onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and now cucumbers and do the salads too. freezer is about full right now. been taking some stuff into the boys at coffee in the mornings, so far they have loved every thing I've brought them!

I find vegies get mushy and loose all their liquid when thawed if I vac em and freeze. A flash freezer is what commercial producers use, and with the extreme deep freeze temp only small pointy ice crystals form and don't break the plants cell walls as much. The normal residential freezer is to slow and warm which causes large crystals to form and hence puncturing of the cell walls, then the liquid leaks out when thawed. that said I still vac pak onions and peppers for long cooking meals. I don't do corn as I'm type 2 and they is high glycemic. I mostly do canning and root cellaring as I have a cold basement here in Snota.

my old lady....oooops….I mean the loving wife has been working hard all week to try and match her mothers recipe for pickled cucumbers/onions. the original recipe left when her Mother passed. she made several batches and did several different things and I think she has it! I remember them when we were dating, and they was GOOD! she gave each one of her brothers a jar, and they all said she has mastered that recipe! WooHoo!

I also asked the old lady....oooops...I mean the loving wife...about freezing some of them cucumbers, and she too thought they would get mushy, and I asked if it really mattered any if they was mushy? they gits mushy when we chew and eat them! so I vacuum packed a couple quarts of them and froze them, we'll see how bad/good they are later
