The Refrigerator, Food and More

Tweet

I looked around the fridge and I knew I needed to take a day and just get this done. But first I needed to peel that 5 pound bag of potatoes, they were beginning to wrinkle, and get those canned up. I had more than the canner would hold so vegetable soup was what I made with the extra. This is what was in the fridge that I had to use. 3 tomatoes, 1/2 bag of carrots, mushrooms and a onion. I added those baby corns and green beans from a tin can. I used frozen okra I had grown. Added garlic, salt and pepper. I let it cook a little before home canning. I got 6 pints of soup and 7 pint of potatoes. Now I have food for up to 4 more years, but it wont last that long. With 2 carrots, an apple and a handful of raisins I made carrot slaw, or carrot salad. We finished off the eggs for breakfast. I still have broccoli and cauliflower to use but to tell you the truth, I was just tired of chopping and peeling. I have 1/2 gallon of rose infused water so I froze it till I have time, the sugar and pectin to make jelly.. I took the dogs for a walk and picked black berries but only to eat on as I walked. I had a bag in my pocket to puck poke salad but I was just to tired to clean it tonight so I didnt. I cut down weeds from the mint bed, chopped down some vine growing on the house, and chopped down poison Ivy. That is what I accomplished today, what did you do?
