Wednesday Snap Shot

-



Good morning friends! I hope your week is going well. I am happy to have a Wednesday that I am home and able to get this post out early in the day. As I write this I'm waiting for it to be lighter outside to take my 'view from the deck' picture.

My weekend was quiet and I was able to make progress on a few needed things. On Sunday I had a 2 hour phone visit with my oldest daughter. It was so nice to talk. We text often, but there is nothing like a phone call :).

On Monday we were finally able to take my son out for his birthday dinner. We had a great time. His girlfriend came too...


And we invited his brothers. Pizza was my son's choice and we went to a restaurant that I had never been to and it was some of the best pizza I've had in a while..


It was a fun evening for the 6 of us.. 

 
Yesterday was a long day in town. Hubby and I had an appointment downtown in the city and it always takes so long to get there in the morning hours with all the rush hour traffic. So we were out the door bright and early. Afterwards we ran errands and did the grocery shopping.We were home late and it was good to have leftover chili in the fridge making our dinner an easy one. 

A day at home is sounding great to me today! :)


Goals
I have my to do list written out already..

~Change sheets
~2 loads laundry
~Clean the fridge (should have done that before grocery shopping, but such is life sometimes :)
~Pay a bill online

And of course the regular daily jobs of feeding the animals and making dinner.


For the Love of Books!
I finished My Antonia by Willa Cather and loved it. If you like pioneer type stories you will enjoy this book.

I'm reading Swiss Family Robinson right now. Of course I've seen the movie many times. It was a favorite of my children when they were younger. I wanted to read the book for fun and to see the differences between the book and the movie. I know my children would have loved the book. And for some reason I really enjoy these 'stranded on an island' type books so it's enjoyable to me for that as well. 


Projects
My biggest project today will be getting through my to-do list! Ha, ha. :D I have projects I want to work on but today will be household jobs.


Fitness and Health
I got my 10,000 steps in a few times over the last week but not as often as I'd like, I was just to busy. Today I'm planning on making time for my walk.
 

View from my Deck
This has been a crazy winter. It hasn't felt like winter at all. Other then a dusting of snow last month we have not had any more. We normally don't get a lot of snow and some winters we've had none. The last few winters have had much more snow and ice. I am quite happy with this mild winter.

Today I see lots of clouds and rain is in the forecast and the wind is blowing fiercely. Starting tomorrow I see a long stretch of dry days which will be very nice.


Today's weather: High: 53 Low: 41


That's all for this week my friends,
Crystal

    I enjoy your blog. I’m an empty nester, but I only had two children. I find myself being very melancholy these days as my children don’t live close.
    Looking forward to Spring and getting outdoors to garden.

      Hello Kathy 😊 it's very hard when your children don't live close 😔 over the years I have had children living overseas and in the military and it was a struggle for me. Several of mine live out of state so I can relate. Plus for me January is a tough month.. it's long and the days are short. I too am looking forward to spring! 😊
      Crystal 😊

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this ...

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine...

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my ...
