Monday WLS Express

I pressure canned them - soak in ice water for at least 10 mins -slice into jars (I used half pints) mash as full as you can with out any sticking over the top - add salt ( 1/2 pint 1/4 t, pint 1/2 t, quart 1t) then have lids simmering and water in canner hot, plus an extra pot of clean boiling water, I put all the full jars on the stove inbetween all these boiling pots so they got warm, fill with boiling water leaving 1 inch head space - the size of the band, put on lids and bands, use tongs to put into canner, can at 10 pounds for 25 mins - lets pressure drop all the way and open canner CAREFULLY using tongs put on dry towel out of drafts to cool for 24 hours - anything not sealed after that stick in the fridge and go ahead and eat

I had 2 pounds of mushrooms, use a few in breakfast and made 16 half pints - they are only about half now they are cooked - all but one has sealed already

if you don't want to can them you can dry them - soak in ice water, dry and slice - put in dehydrator or on cookie racks in oven on low with door open till dry - they will be slighly flexable

I love mushrooms!! this is the first time I have canned them  - I think last time I dryed them I didn't have the pressure canner and they are way to low acid to risk jus****er bathing them

mushrooms and potatoes don't freeze well - oh and if you go to use them dryed soak them first THEN add to whatever

Good Morning OH Family!

Let's see...........word that starts with the letter "M"? How about muddy? It's raining again this morning. I'm suppose to meet my BFF Rita in McKinney to thrift store shop and spend the day.We have been friends for 23 years and do not get to spend enough time together. Some of yall met her at my BD party. Rick's foot is still not doing well. He goes back to the Dr this morning. Will find out if they are going to put him in the hospital and go back in and clean out the infection. I kept Layla last night so Summer could get some rest.She still has phenomena. My weight is still going down, don't really know why. I've just not had much of an appetite lately. I'm down to 142 this morning.I'm not too low, but don't like the way my face looks when I get below 150,too skinny. lol never thought I would be have that concern. Well better get a few things done this morning. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I love Fall, but getting a little tired of the rain. Prayers for healing for our Gaye and Allisa.

Your loved!

Lynnette

  

I hope Ricks foot starts to heal and that he doesn't have to go to the hospital. Saying prayers. Hope Summer gets well soon too!

I remember you commenting last time you got under 150 that you didn't like the way your face looked - can you add in an extra protien shake a day for a bit? amazing how we can retrain ourselfs to NOT eat when stressed instead of over eat LOL

hugs

Well, The weatherman said it would have cleared out and we would not have had any rain today. He clearly does not know wtf he is talking about. Jodie and I were going to Six Flags today.  One of the tickets are non refundable. So, We will see. I am putting on my hunting thermals though. I think we are going to go out and brave it and take it from there. I hope you all had a great day.
Very happy Gaye got out of the hospital. Prayers do work. But, like Gina said We will continue to keep her in ours.
Support group was great  yesterday. Great turn out. Thanks Tawnya for all you do. You help more people than you realize.
The bonus after the support group was that I found my Toto dog I have been looking everywhere for. He is precious. Thanks Corbin and Gina for walking around the mall 10 times helping me look for him.
Hugs to you all
Get out there and make this a great day.

You THINK we are going to go out and brave it?

Bender, Bender, Bender - we sit in the frigid temperatures deer hunting for hours on end and you want to let a little drizzle in the way of Six Flags?  Are you crazy?!! 

I will see your azz at 11am as planned!!

Have fun at Six Flags!

Good morning everyone,

I am determined to get my OH posting done this week.  I get started on the job searching and other stuff and by the time I get over here, it's afternoon and I don't post.  I miss it so here I am.  I got a call from Josh Saturday and was so excited.  Matt and I had gone to the Fair but had sat down to watch a show.  Otherwise I might not have felt the phone vibrate.  I didn't recognize the number but realized it was an IL area code so went ahead and answered.  I would have felt horrible if I hadn't.  Josh talked for quite a bit before he said someone else was waiting to use the phone.  It was so nice just to hear his voice.  

Saying prayers for all of you.  Have a great week.

It's Monday, I'm alive, King is well.  No one in family has the flu (that I know of).  I'm off work today.  Spending the day with Bender acting like teenagers at Six Flags.

How could life be any better than this?

Nothing going on here....work and then school. 

Jodi and Kathy, stay dry and healthy please!  I hope you have a blast playing in the rain.

Gina, take care of Gaye and give her a gentle hug from me. 

Gotta run, phone ringing and customers waiting.
