More Veggies

Filed under: FAMILY — grandi13 @ 11:58 pm

Saturday-11pm

On the way into the big city for supper, DH went by the local farmer’s market and finally they had colored butter beans that looked good. We got 2 bushels already shelled. The second bushel is now cooking. I will leave them on the stove overnight.

No, the peas did not get bagged. They did not get cool enough, so they are in the fridge wating until tomorrow.

I think I am through w/veggies for the year unless I do some more okra. I have to re-arrange my freezer before I do anything else.
I asked DD#1 if I could put stuff in her freezer for a little while.

Before I started my blog, I prepared 2 bushels of corn.

When I prepare veggies for the freezer, I cook them until they are done. This helps when preparing a meal because all I have to do with them is bring to a boil and season and they are ready to eat.

Til next time

Tired Again

Filed under: FAMILY — grandi13 @ 3:58 pm

After working my scheduled 4 hours yesterday, DH and I rode to the farmers market, found no unshelled peas. We then rode almost to the SC line and found unshelled peas. I wanted unshelled peas so that I could have snaps in them.

We then went on to Tanger Outlet, did a little shopping and ate at Preston’s. Finally got home about 7:30pm.

I called DD#1 and asked if she would help me shell the peas. She and DGD#1 came over about 8. We shelled until midnight. We apparently are slow shellers for it to take us 4 hours to shell a bushel of peas. Today I have washed and cooked the peas and am now waiting for them to cool so that I can bag them. Had 9 quarts before they cooked.

Talked with my brother today, and he said Mother is doing as usual. Also, he took me some pears and left them in her room.

I normally do not do this anymore, but I think a nap would be good about now.

Til next time
