Peppers ~ Fall Garlic ~ Crock pot Meatball stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Fall is here for sure now.  The sunrises are not as beautiful, but this photo shows the fog rolling in with the cooler air.

I pulled the very last of the green peppers, but left the hot peppers.  The frost is rolling in in a few days now, but today it's going to be a high of 74 degrees.  There are a few more on a few plants but very very small.

We are seriously in panic mode regarding firewood.  What I would do for a group of volunteers right now.....

Garlic has been planted in grow pots this fall.  Crossing our fingers we have a much better harvest next year.

I finally made crock pot meatball stuffed cabbage rolls.  Sort of.  I had one heck of a time getting the leaves of cabbage off in one piece.  They cracked and ripped.  Any tips?  I got three sort of nicely rolled, but gave up and topped those with the remaining mix, meatballs and layered cabbage on top with some tomato sauce.  That's why you don't see a photo, ha ha!

Update:  Our great great niece passed away due to congestive heart failure due to a hole between her valves.  We haven't heard if the autopsy has come back on our grandson yet.

Cowboy Candy ~ This and That

I was slicing up jalapenos early in the morning.  I wanted to make sure Daughter was up in time to leave for school super early.  They all went to a hair show today.  

Speaking of show, the 2 hour craft show wasn't that great.  Hardly any customers, but I sold a slouchy hat, a wrap around scarf and a set of boot cuffs.  Also, we learned a lot from the other ladies there - one sold organic non-gmo body care line (very cool stuff), and one knew a lot of info about natural healing.  My girls learned a lot even if we didn't have a lot of customers.  

I saved the ends of the jalapenos to freeze for meals.  Nothing wasted in this house for sure.  Especially with little to put up.

I dehydrated the little bit of rosemary I grew this year. Oregano is next today I hope.  The weather will turn much colder this week.
