Testing the new... Tidbits


I filled my new dehydrator with organic dandelion greens.  I still want to put more in the freezer, but I will be utilizing the dried greens too.  They dried faster than in the old dehydrator too.

The dried greens will be used for dog food, to make tea, to add to any dish we eat, to make dandelion vinegar, and other herbal mixtures.  I won't have to buy dandelion tea any more now.  Oh, I can use the dandelion for poultices too.
 



I baked a few more sweet potatoes to freeze.  This happens when the store has them in stock.  



Jesse's dog food this week is green beans, oatmeal, ground turkey, and a bit of leftover pumpkin puree.

Yesterday was very busy, and I had to get 4000 words into my National Novel Writing Month, because I took two days off to work outside.  I got that done, but it took me the rest of the day and night to get an order placed with Kohl's.

I had some Kohl's cash that was expiring.  It's cash they give you back to spend only at Kohl's, after already spending money, but they expire.   When we school shop, and what not, I get cash to spend on myself.  So....I went online.

I signed in, got my undies in my "cart" and decided I would look at boots, and purses, and jewelry - every thing a woman wants but doesn't need.  Only a few minutes into searching, Kohl's website locks me out.  Everything else on the site works, but not Kohl's. 

I logged in several times over the next several hours and it kept logging me out.  Finally, I decided to be quick and add a few more packages of undies to my cart and just use up the cash and check out. 

Just after I added to the cart, I was locked out again.  Seriously.  I was ready to quit and let the cash expire.

Six hours later, I had my undies ordered.  So now, I am ready for next summer, just in case we have 3-pair underwear days.  And now I'm ready to go build that cabin in the woods and cut off the internet and make my own clothes.

I got a good laugh out of that last line! Isn't that the truth? There are days when I would love to be 'cut off', but then I wouldn't be able to read my favorite blogs! What kind of dehydrator did you get?
Susan, I agree on reading and writing the blogs too. I bought a 9 tray excalibur, stainless steel. I hope to make my first jerky in it soon.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
