Thrift Find ~ New Recipes

A cup made in France for $.30.  I found this a few days ago when I was in search for something else.

I never intended to bake and cook so much today, but we wanted to enjoy some the sweet corn we purchased yesterday.

I was up and milking goats at 6:30am, then out to the front porch to shuck 5 more dozen ears of corn.  Before 9am I had 30 more cups of corn blanched and cooled for freezing.
 

For dinner, I ended up making a new potato salad recipe, and the kids hand churned a new ice cream recipe that is made with honey. I may be sharing both of the recipes if they are winners with the family.  I also baked 2 apple pies with my last 2 jars of homemade pie filling.  Looks like I will be canning some more this season.


We finally got rain, so I plan on getting some much needed rest for the much needed weeding tomorrow. Our tomatoes are also turning red, so canning salsa may be happening soon too.

If you don't see me commenting on your blog, I'm having trouble.  Some blogs have the box, and then a drop down arrow for selecting a profile.  Once I do that and enter it, nothing happens.  Until then, know that I continue to enjoy reading your blogs.
