Corn From Start To Finish

 Our antique chicken feed grinders work better than the new mills like this man is using. Of course, a genuine stone bur mill beats them all!

Monday is coming up, Back To The Old Grind!

Sixteen Pints!

Susan canned two batches, for a total of 16. 

 

Coming Up From The Basement Monday!

 

Susan will be canning our kraut Monday afternoon! Back To The Old Grind!

Cook Like A Hobo!

Lift The Rock, Bring Up The Crock!

 We were busy last week, so the kraut worked for 52 days this time, and it is delicious. Susan canned 19 pints, and we have fresh sauerkraut in the fridge.

The Kraut Rock Is In Play!

Susan picked eight heads of cabbage today, and this evening they went into the kraut crock. Our genuine Rio Grande kraut rock will hold down the juicy mix while the magic occurs.

 

Electric Cider Press!

 No hand cranking for this bunch. The folks who run Greenfield Grocery have a modern cider press with a hydraulic ram that gets every bit of juice from the apples.

Kent Rollins Makes Corn Dodgers!

 Baking powder is a good idea. If you want it sweetened a bit, my favorite is adding a little sorghum molasses. 

Busy Wife...

...and Busy Kitchen! The canner is going every day.

 

New Year's Morning

 Yup, she went down the stairs to the basement! Went back up, too. The knee is still swollen, but much better than it was. We are still icing it regularly.

How Come You Ask Me If I Want Mo' Lasses When I Ain't Had No Lasses?

 We had a great time hanging around the sorghum evaporator pan at Boonville, and came home with some freshly cooked molasses. It's great on crackers, toast, and ice cream. The show goes on one more day.

Picking Up The Slack

 Susan has been supervising me as I fill jars and operate the canner. Yesterday I did green beans, and today I finished 15 pints of kraut. One lid blew or it would have been 16. I think we have 6 or 8 more pints of kraut to put up tomorrow morning, and then I must pick beans!

Pizza Night...

...when the wife is laid up. (Not Really, but I could get by.)

 

Susan Is Still Canning!

Susan got a good deal on Top Round Roast and has been canning for two days. Now she will be looking for deals on pork and ham.
