Preparing and Restocking

I've been spending rainy/cold days on theter putting orders in to restock and preparing for canning season.  Brazil nuts help my hair and nails stay healthy.  These are not sold in our stores, and I haven't found them at the health store 40 minutes from home either.


I use this for a few canned items, but I also use Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar for many other canned items.  The organic white is not sold in stores (non-gmo).






This corn syrup was in very limited supply last year.  Two years ago the grocery store carried it.  I'll probably order more to be prepared for the holidays, without worries of limited supply.  I also use it to make homemade teriyaki sauce.



Restocked the einkron flour as well too.

I also made a batch of homemade dinner rolls for our "Christmas" gathering with my side of the family. It's more like an Easter get together now.




I love bread making days.  It's sort of relaxing.

I am writing up a few recipes that I'll post soon.

do you mind if I have a roll with butter while we visit. Your home must smell amazing...what a cozy,comforting aroma. I rather fancy bread baking days myself, I don't have a regular schedule for it as I used to. Sometimes I make the overnight bread, which like sourdough when we are having soup, it is a crunch, crusty soup kind of bread.

You can't get Brazil nuts here, either. I think it's because the grocery store is afraid of being associated with the nuts, which once had a colloquial name .

Your bread rolls look so delicious! I'm having a baking day here too! Funny about the Brazil Nuts, they are my favourite and I can't find them anywhere. I used to be able to buy them at the grocery store, then I could only find them at the bulk store, now nowhere! I'll have to get some online!

The bread looked delicious. I am going to start running down my freezers and store cupboard now that the weather is picking up and restock before the start of next winter.

Love the organic items. It's always nice to know what's out there. Your spices are made in Iowa at Frontier and I have been to their company years ago before organic was popular. Your rolls look beautiful!

I don't use any of those organic items but some of them seem interesting and those rolls look delicious. I just seen that you have homemade marshmallows here so I am going to take a look at that post.
Faith I love the smell of bread baking days.
Harry, I hate having to rely on online shopping, but it's the only way I can get some items. Urgh.
Rain, I can only get those nuts online. Same with a few others. Nuts in stores are not organic and have added bad oils in them.
mamasmercantile, that's what I'm doing. Using up and restocking.

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 . . .
