Yesterday, we made applesauce.
Monday, we made applesauce and apple cake.
Sunday, we made applesauce.
Saturday, we got lost on an Epic!Quest! for apple cider.
Tonight, we will make applesauce. And maybe can it.
(the makeshift canner (our giant pot and a steamer rack from the Chinese food store) will hold 8 quart jars. Our next-biggest pot will hold about 8 cups of applesauce. So batches.)
There hasn’t been as much work on this house this week, but we got a Giant Order Of Stuff from Lowes yesterday (incl. the stuff for the closet, window molding, log rack supplies, door molding, drywall, insulation… and a chest freezer) so there will be Stuff to Do once again. Also, mudding and painting. This bedroom is taking a lot of mudding.

Chest freezer! Jealous.
Primary reason for buying a house! (well, not really, buuuut)
we just had 3 folks move in with us, which gave us the excuse for a chest freezer…its awesome
Now we can buy enough turkeY!!!
giggles.
*grin* The local grocery stores generally have it dirt cheap two weeks before thanksgiving, but we only ever had room for one. Last year we bought two and ate one right away.
neat! i love the stock made from the carcass…its amazing as a base for the sauce for vegetable pot pie [thickened w flour or corn starch]
T. makes absolutely AWESOME soooop from the carcass – it’s my favorite part!!
yay!! me too =p
“avec les…” is “with the”; “avec des…” should be “with”. Plural of pomme de terre is pommes de terre – apples of earth, not apples of earths. You do know that’s potatoes?
I do when I’ve had my coffee *headdesk*
*patpat*
arrw
Thank you for telling people about my story.
It’s an AWESOME story!
What said. Scary! And almost an anti-ghost-story.
Thank you. It came out of the idea of the one person who can’t see ghosts, which leads to the question why not?
🙂 (you have the most AWESOME ideas)
Thank you. (slightly embarassed foot shuffling)
Mmm, homemade apple sauce. One of my friends (who also has the luxury of lots of freezer space) freezes apples sliced and spiced in a pie plate, then transfers the pie-shaped chunk of apples to a bag after it’s frozen.
We’re thinking of doing that, too, though I hadn’t thought of doing it in pie plate (our other “food storage investment” was a vacuum sealer).
I think that should say “avec” in the title. It does on yogurt containers that mean “with (fruit).”
Teach me to try to be clever before I’ve had my coffee! Fixed, thank you!
