When will I learn….figured it’s a nice cooler NH morning, and we’re up at the lake for the weekend, but needs a little clearing done, so I start weed whacking and a little beach raking, then BAM… ouch, ouch , Oowwww. Damn if I didn’t step on a ground nest of those damn ground wasps, and got stung 4 times! Quick end to my morning work…. A little backing soda water paste mix, and now I rest, work detail is over.

yup thats right. but,i like to know old school methods of food prep and preservation. i make saurkraut every fall when i can buy it for 1.50 a can.plant tomatoes and make salsa every year. etc,have you ever had REAL brined pickles with no vinegar added,just fermented in salt water. they get as sour as they can be. add some sugar and bam,

 

If I ever get to retire I'd like to spend more time learning more about food preservation and preserving as much fresh food as possible.

 

my grandparents out in the mountains bought very little food. they preserved food from the farm.its interesting. ive watched grandma churn butter. make soap,cure hams. press apples for cider,then use the leftover to make vinegar.pick wild berrys for jam etc..

 

Food dispersed the dumbass that didn’t bring a spare has gone back to the house and picked one up and now it’s time to head to the house.

 

I’m all good, but kicker was the last one got me in the top of my foot after I had gone inside and taken my shoes off; he rode in with me.. he’s dead now.
