Coffee anyone ?

Up , bed stripped, car loaded with stuff. Going back down with the truck... guys supposed to be at house later. They had a breakdown yesterday and said it wouldn't be 10 this morning but early afternoon, will let me know when they are done with the "yesterday's job" that got messed up.... I had to sit a minute here and took allergy pill as I woke up with stuffed up head and itchy eyes. Yuck

Let’s see..... I have a freezer stuffed with beef, pork and lamb. I think I’ll be ok with one chicken until next month. I got about 15-20 of those sold too.
On batch #3 of the leg quarters for dog food. Just put the weight on the canner vent. It will take 10-15 minutes to get up to pressure, then it’s 90 minutes canning time. Then turn it off, cool down before I can open it and start batch #4. This has been like a day of rest for me. During that 90 minutes I fill and cap the jars, take a nap, watch TV, fold and put away clothes, made 2 pound cakes.

I have 26, 25 are sold. Of the 26, 13 are in the freezer now. Going to be storming and raining today and tomorrow morning. Hope to slaughter the other 12 tomorrow. I have 49 more that will be ready next month. 19 of those are sold. Then we’ll divide the rest with our daughter and family. And how is the freezer looking? Both are crammed full. In fact, I have 4 ten pound bags of chicken leg quarters thawing out that I have to can today for the dogs. LOL Had to take them out to make room for what we just butchered. I buy leg quarters for the dogs to mix with their kibble. When we slaughter, I can the trimmings, wing tips, skin, heart, necks, bony back pieces for the dogs.

Woke up at 3:40. Coffee is ready. Gonna have a cup or two, then start canning. Since I’ll be in the kitchen, think I’ll make a couple of pound cakes, maybe some deviled eggs. Y’all have a great day!

The necks???

You give the dogs the necks??.

Best flavor ever for cornbread dressing... gravy....

Make that 30 minutes to get up to pressure. This sure is time consuming. Batch #4 is in the jars. 1 hour 15 minutes to go before I can turn it off to cool down, then load up batch #4. I named my canner The Beast. The Beast holds 7 quarts. Those 7 quarts hold 10 pounds of leg quarters, raw pack, bones and all. Mixed with their kibble, the dogs gobble it up.

Yes, the dogs get the necks. I like giblet gravy over cornbread dressing, but I only want that a few times a year.

I turned off batch #4 at 7:30 Today has been a nice day.

Good morning all. It's supposed to be another wonderful day, although it's 10 degrees cooler than the last couple of mornings. My legs are cold.

You got all 4 done.. Did the last one take longer?

Thanks for the coffee.
School, speech run after dog food and shavings. Sunny, windy day, mid 50s.
Evaluated bunnies yesterday. Put two on the website... We'll have more in a few weeks but we have the room so we might as well keep them while we decide. This evening I have a big girls get together, kids are making supper for them and DH. Looking forward to a break.

Thanks for the coffee. I’ll take that with cream and a side order of vitamins. LOL When I turned off batch #3, we delivered 10 whole frozen chickens to make room for the 12 we plan on slaughtering today. Watching weather, heavy storms and flash floods south of us, don’t think it will move up here, but chance of showers.

Oh, got the tractor back yesterday evening, neighbor gave Marigold a tune up, changed all fluids and filters. Whoop!
@promiseacres big girls? That means no kids or husbands, right? You go enjoy yourself, you certainly deserve a break.
