Eating From the Pantry Challenge -- Day 4

-
Ok I am getting bad at not thinking about posting until the day after. I have got to get better at posting. Well yesterday was interesting as my dh had a snow day (he is a teacher) and was hungry all day. Here is what we ate:

Breakfast - oatmeal, hot tea and oranges
Lunch - hot dogs and leftover slaw
Dinner - spaghetti
Snacks - dd made more cookies.

Boy are we getting spoiled with dd baking. When she goes back to school next week I may have to start baking myself. :)

Today is payday so either today or tomorrow I will be running to the store for fresh and non food items. Everyone keep safe.

Our first grand baby was born on December 5, 2016.  James Douglas Anderson was born four and a half weeks early but still weighed 6.2 pounds and was 19.5 inches long.  We are so in love and can't get enough of him.  He is home and is doing well as is his mom.  My daughter did great for her first child and we couldn't be more proud.

Canning !!!!!!!!!

-
Today I did the first canning of the year. I made dill pickles. 10 pints and 1 half pints. This is a new recipe so I hope that we will like them. It calls for dill seed so I went and bought a little tin and it only did nine of the jars so I remembered that our dill from last year came back in and I had just enough fresh dill for the other two jars. I need to find a bigger container of dill seed next time. Pickles wise I am only making dill this year as I still have a lot of bread and butter and relish. Tomorrow I will turn my attention to the zucchini and yellow squash. I am looking at zucchini relish and use the yellow for part of it. Yesterday I baked a zucchini cake and two loaves of zucchini bread. Yummy. The cake was soooo moist it was amazing. I will make it again.

New Year same challenges...

Today has been a busy day.  My daughter had all four wisdom teeth taken out and I had two doctors appointments - all before noon.  Thank goodness for her boyfriend who came to take her home for me and stayed until I got back.  My sweet daughter doesn't handle pain really well and we couldn't get her pain meds until I got back with the car.  Poor thing.  She just woke up very hungry so I have homemade chicken noodle soup on the stove smelling wonderful.  Dad and I will have grilled cheese sandwiches with it.  Perfect for a rainy night.   Well my dear son, Ian has officially withdrawn from college and has applied at a tech school.  He wants to study computer IT and found out that there is a nine month wait to get into the program.  So now he needs to find a day job to go with his night job.  His night job only gives him 20-27 hours a week and he will need more than that.  He is thinking of applying to substitute teach for the county.  His finance knows that this will delay the we...
