NICE!!!!! I'm saving your post. Would love to do this. Good job!!!

I also love the floor in the kitchen. We had carpet in our camper that stayed nice for like the first 30 seconds we owned it lol. I'm sure you've probably thought about this already, but could you put a lazy susan somewhere for additional storage? Also, may I make another suggestion? I love your cabinets and I love the baskets on top--I have similar cabinets now in my kitchen. Because they don't go to the top of the ceiling they are grease and dirt and hair magnets. If I knew then what I know now, I would have put some kind of protection on top that I could take down and wash or replace. Like a piece of plastic or cutting board or even foil...or a towel. The tops of mine will never be completely clean because they are unfinished and are like a plywood top and are very rough. Maybe yours are finished and smooth and easy to clean. Nah, you're not a food hoarder. You purchase great quality things and freeze them for later use when you're in a place that you can't get such great quality things . Your shrimp look wonderful.

Yeah, I'm still on only wine, too. I feel we deserve it tonight lol.

YAY!!!!!!! I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for an update Trust me, your cooking and your travels are never ever boring. I LOVE your new kitchen. Very classy. And, yeah, forget simple...you're on the road for half a year. Take the stuff you love to cook with. Bare necessities be damned.

Oh that's terribly unsanitary. Everyone knows a dogs mouth is way cleaner.

I love the color

Hello, my dinner twin again lol Chicken done in the steam boy , squash and taters

I LOVE pickled eggs! The preserving thread has a couple of pictures of jars I've done. Do you have a recipe to share with me?

I ordered some really nice deli meats--they freeze very well and I like to have them on hand during the holiday/hunting season. So, it was just in time for National Sandwich Day yesterday. Salami, spicy ham (not spicy at all so dunno why they call it that) and bologna with smoked cheese and jalapeño mustard and homemade mayo. And some deviled eggs topped with jalapeño olives.

Soooooo hot here, STILL. I'm sick of it. Zucchini are not slowing down. I even have brand new tomato plants that have grown on their own.....and there are blooms on them.

I got a whole mess of 'em out there in the garden. I'll sell 'em for half what Neiman's are going for.

Beef and broccoli

I don't have a ton because deer season is coming soon. But I'll make it all work somehow. Oh, African Violets. My Grammy had those. I think she gave some to me which I promptly killed. Love those things but can't keep houseplants alive for some reason. Ok, thanks for the freezing advice. I need to get some ice cube trays asap. Yeah, I think all of the government red tape is what my farmers ran in to. Thankfully this weekend begins the time when the buyer will take all of the eggs (I think). I have 60 of the eggs just sitting out here. So they aren't taking up fridge space Thanks so much for all of the wonderful ideas. Keep 'em coming if something pops into your mind. I'll be doing a lot with eggs

More that I have so many eggs that I need ideas on what to do with them. The 60 I showed you are going to sit on my counter. They've never been in the fridge so they should be fine for quite a few weeks. I wonder if the ones in my fridge last even longer?

YES!!! Ok, I must stock up on booze. How perfect. I also have a glut of pumpkins. I'm going to be a busy girl. Oooooooh, I could give eggnog as gifts.........

My farmers have started a new business selling free range chicken eggs. They are getting over 10,000 eggs a day. Yeah, not a typo. 10,000. Their buyer won't buy them until the chickens are laying eggs of a certain size (yeah, that seems so silly to me) which will be happening within a week or so. Anyway, they are, needless to say, giving away eggs. We couldn't resist taking quite a few. There are 60 pictured here and I have ...well, lets just say I have a lot more in the fridge. Aren't they pretty? Yes, I wish I had a freeze dryer but I don't. Anyone have experience freezing eggs? Any recipes that use a zillion eggs that I could then freeze and use when hunters are in or for the holidays? I'm open to all of your wonderful ideas.

WOW! Thanks for showing us. You did a great job.

I need to get more pork tenderloin. That's good stuff...and easy. I swear, I've never seen tri-tip sold in stores here unless it's called something different.

I'm exhausted just reading about it, Rob!

Well, you did far better than I did on the rice. LMAO re the life vests.

I love green bells. No eye aversion happening here

Ribs last night. My ratio of mac and cheese to rib is a little off.

It sure is a pretty color. Frustrating to do all of that work and then have syrup--I know, that happened to me during a batch of sand hill plum jelly...I have syrup. You certainly have more patience than I do
