I should have started a temperature afghan last spring. With the hot days followed by this very strange and nasty winter, it would have been one interesting afghan.
I'm scanning my recipes for our oldest daughter. Not that she's settling in her new apt. she wants to take advantage of her crock pot and cook good meals again. I have a plan for that too.
I pickled red onion for the first time. It'll be used for salads, although I am leery to eat fresh kale out of season, we can typically find organic in our grocery store.
Using organic/non-gmo ingredients, thinly slice enough red onion rings to fit in a wide mouth pint canning jar.
Add:
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. salt
2-3 splashes of home canned hot sauce*
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. red wine vinegar
Shake. Store in the refrigerator
*any hot sauce will work
My husband is really having a stressful time at his work place. Even though the vote was like 170-something (no) to 50-something (yes), the higher up's are making them vote again on Thursday on the contract. They are using their power to manipulate them into voting yes, and from what I see, threatening them in the process. He, and the others, could surely use prayers, good mojo, and good thoughts right now. It is a very hostile work environment. Both mentally and physically.
The only thing I can do to help him, is clean the house, cook good food, pack his lunch and coffee and listen. I'm afraid this however, may affect our income (depending on the outcome). Remember they went on strike one year, and he had to take work out of state? We are preparing however we have big ticket jobs to get done this year no matter what.
