AAASTINKIE is HERE!!

[Hippie]

You should make salsa and can it! Why were the tomatoes picked before they were ripe?

 

[Waldo]

Psssstttttt Hippie. I think it is a genetic carryover from Stinkie being picked before he was ripe too

Good looking beets there Stinkie. Ever make any wine from em?

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Because it's WINTER here in MAINE...lol....I buy them at the farm, the
plants are all dead and you can pick whats left for canning for $5 a
five gallon pail, so I bought two, and she said take all the peppers
you want for free, the 13lbs of beets were $10 but they were picked and
cleaned already. Waldo, I haven't made any veggy wine......but wait
till you see the next great wine Polmolive and Me are dreaming
up!!!!...lol

 

[Hippie]

Makes perfect sense now! Maybe the mators will ripen some before they start rotting.

 

[Waldo]

What is it going to be Stinkie?

 

[AAASTINKIE]

It's a lot of work to can 10qts. of spagetti sauce (my first time, I
got a new pressure canner this year) lots of pots to clean up too!!
Tastes great though, will be nice on a cold winters day with some X-71
wine (watered down...lol).

 

[Cove Cottage]

Great looking stuff! I only hope Palmolive doesn't get jealous of Ms AJAX over by the sink.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Today I canned some corn relish to help use up the peppers.

I went for a bike ride today, first ride this year, only went 5 miles
but feel good can't wait for my next ride!! This is perfect bike
weather here in Maine, 75 sunny and windy.

 

[Waldo]

Great job of canning there Stinkie..Takes me back to my boyhood days on the farm. Just about everything we ate had been canned. Will be glad when our days get down into the 70's.

I tried my first hand at canning this year. Pickles and pickeled squash were on the menu... I also did like 4-5 cans of tomatoes.





Nothing in comparison to you, Stinkie!

Good going!

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I made another batch of spagetti sauce tonight, one more box of
tomatoes to go!! I have a pork shoulder in the smoker might make
pulled pork spagetti sauce tomorrow. Two more bottles of cloudy wine to
go and I can drink some of the good stuff!!

 

[Hi In The Pines]

Hey, Is there a place on this forum for canning and how to on canning?? I have been wanting to do that as well.

 

[masta]

Just start a new topic in "Friendly Chit Chat" and I am sure some of thecanning experts will respond with some help.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

If you want to can, go to a store that sells supplies and get this book.

 

[Hippie]

Yep. My wife got a book like that a few years ago and just went to it one day while I was at work. She is quite the city girl, so I was very impressed when I got home.

 

[Waldo]

My Mom wrote that book !!!

 

[Hippie]

I thought it was my Grandma!!!

 

[Hi In The Pines]

Thanks, I will have to look for that book.

Went for a bike ride with Miss Lilly today, she fell asleep in the last mile!!
