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

Happy Anniversary, @robirdstx Happy Halloween, ya'll!!!! Breakfast last night

I should have been more vocal about the sugar. But, I will say that my peppers are SO hot that the sweet needs to be there for me to cut it. The first batch was sweet but still hot...the second is less sweet and hotter lol. My husband prefers the second batch. I like both. I think other flavors might be fun using this recipe ...it's so easy and cans up so well.

YES! Do you like it? I'm having trouble not using it on everything. I seem to be obsessed. And your jelly is beautiful. You've been a busy girl today!

I bet that corn smells delicious, Steve.

Yeah, I was thinking Everclear, too. I can get that here in Kansas at the liquor store.

Thank you! Definitely doing this. And this is ok in the fridge for several weeks? Like 4-5 weeks? Edited to ask one more question: Do you use rum or brandy or both or?

OH this looks good. We love eggnog. Could you share your recipe please? I very much would like to make some...although I don't have such pretty bottles to store it in. Mine will be in mason jars lol.
