On the other hand, I've been baking bread almost on a daily basis since my sister and bil are here.Ankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891642887957584851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-87153343814741246122011-07-21T07:12:27.404-04:002011-07-21T07:12:27.404-04:00DAMN!

I want some of those jars too. I've never seen them that big. They'd be great for soups.<br />After making strawberry jam with my sister I figured out the hard part is the washing and cutting up of the fruit or veggies and the clean up afterwards. If only we could find someone to do those two parts the rest would be simple.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-37718907104115720392011-07-21T00:50:19.345-04:002011-07-21T00:50:19.345-04:00Lots of work now, but plenty of good food for late...Lots of work now, but plenty of good food for later.

They don't get my obsession!<br />***<br />Mama Pea, ohmygosh I forgot how Monopoly takes FOREVER! And the boys have all these made up rules - and Finn has "new rules" for checkers and says "Grandpa taught me" LOL<br />***<br />Kelly, the bread was too doughy inside, but the crust was good :)<br />***<br />Patty, I feel bad about the boys, and I realized looking at the dogs tonight I don't even remember petting them for the last 2 days LOL. But it will be nice to have all this stuff behind me when our family comes for a visit.<br />***<br />Jane, LOL no canning in them! I needed one for my sourdough starter in the fridge because the glass jar I have is too big and square, and I wanted 2 more for chickpeas since I need lots of those on hand, so now I have 3 left to dream something up with!<br />***<br />Robin, it's crazy, but it will be really nice to pop open jars of summer when it's cold out... hopefully I will be able to cook something decent for them tomorrow :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-35301279996649463612011-07-20T20:55:52.958-04:002011-07-20T20:55:52.958-04:00Boy,you've been a bit busy!

We have had BLT's, tomato sandwiches and chicken salad sandwiches the past two nights. <br /><br />You just reminded me that I need to start a loaf of no knead bread!<br /><br />Try to stay cool!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-61428086443114727152011-07-20T20:54:14.427-04:002011-07-20T20:54:14.427-04:00I have never heard of crappy homemade bread.

You ARE amazing! Good move on your part to just spend some time playing with the boys now. You've all earned some play time! :)<br />Your jars look beautiful, and I'm sure you won't be running low on good flavors for some time! The bread looks beautiful too! I've been so busy lately, I must agree with Mama Pea. I'd WAY rather eat what you made then what we've been eating!Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153751759157433693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-7323135035549439722011-07-20T20:48:06.837-04:002011-07-20T20:48:06.837-04:00What was wrong with your bread?

After running out of homemade stashed in the freezer and having to subsist on store-bought, I'm positive your bread would be wonderful!<br /><br />Oh, your variety of peppers look so delicious and pretty all jarred up! I'd gladly do a taste-testing on them, too! <br /><br />Hope you win when playing with the boys tonight!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-53979795953428290222011-07-20T19:29:09.014-04:002011-07-20T19:29:09.014-04:00POWERHOUSE!
