I'd love to think this could be me, but who am I kidding? In case you're curious, yesterday morning began with me in the kitchen making two dozen homemade stuffed oreos to take to the physical therapy staff. (They were a huge hit, too!)
When I opened the little fridge to put the dough in to chill for an hour, I saw the venison loin I put in there to thaw on Saturday...and completely forgot. Soooo, once the dough was in the fridge, I had at least an hour to deal with the venison.
I sliced it into medallions and then browned it with onions and placed them in jars. I didn't have time to run the canner before PT, but I wouldn't have lit up the canner for three pints. I put the lids and rings on them and put them in the fridge until I can properly can them after work today.
After PT, I ran to the grocery store. I needed a few things for something else I'm going to can so the pressure canner gets filled. I'll tell you about it tomorrow.
Instead, I made a batch of cinnamon rolls last night. Two 2-packs are going to my coworkers, another 2-pack to Andy and Shelly, and a 2-pack for Handsome and me. It was a good day (and night).
I work until 4:30 today, and then I'm going to do my batch of canning. I can't wait to tell you what I'm making to fill up my pressure canner! See you tomorrow.
Oh, and maybe this image will be my life next year. For now, busy suits me just fine.


Can't wait to se what you put in the canner!

Some work is rest, so maybe canning is like that. 😊

Funny how so often our lives are ruled by our to-do lists and we forget to raise our heads and take time to just be so that quote is a good one to remember.
ReplyDeleteHi MA-
DeleteSo very true, my friend. I, in no way, consider myself an "influencer", but writing an almost-every-day blog for all these years sometimes drives my level of activity. I think about that often.
Hugs,

Cinnamon rolls! ❤️ They send out the best aroma into the air.

That's a lovely thought/motto to live by... I will endeavor to put it on my To Do List. 😆
ReplyDeleteHi Lois-
DeleteThat's cute! Me, too! Sometimes we have to plug "down time" into our schedules!
