I've kept my pickled jalapeños (not canned) in the fridge for at least a year with no problems at all. I bring the brine to a boil and pour the hot brine over the sliced peppers in the jar. Put the lid on, put them in the fridge and don't eat them for at least a week. My jalapeños might be a tiny bit less "soft" than when I water bath them, but not so much as you'd care IMO.

That's great! I wish I could do that. That's my reason for not cancelling. I can't find them around here for sure.

Regarding Misfits: I received this email a few days ago: -------------------------------- I founded Misfits Market in 2018 with the goal of making quality food more affordable and accessible for everyone, regardless of where they live. Our commitment to that mission remains the same today, even in these volatile times. However, we now need to make changes to your Misfits Market experience to continue building a sustainable business for the future. Effective for all orders with a shopping window ending on or after Monday, January 30th, your new order minimum will be $59. If you have $59 worth of items in your cart when your shopping window closes, we will ship your order. Additionally, your new shipping fee will be $9.99. Why the changes? In the past few years, it’s become trickier for us to deliver to customers in areas like yours. Economic trends continue to affect everything from the price of food to shipping costs. Still, my team and I are dedicated to providing more value with every order. These changes will help us use fewer resources to get high-quality groceries to you. We’ll also continue to find ways to improve your experience and pass on savings wherever possible. Plus, we’re making it easier than ever to shop our Cold Pack items. You can now build a Cold Pack order totaling less than $30 for a flat $3.99 fee, plus your regular shipping fee. Add only the items you need each week (think organic milk and butter, a dozen free-range eggs); if you go over $30 in Cold Pack items, you won’t be charged a Cold Pack fee. As usual, you’ll continue to save up to 40% on quality groceries delivered to your door, earn points on grocery purchases through our Misfits Perks loyalty program, and support food producers who rely on Misfits Market to get a fair return on their hard work. - Abhi Ramesh Misfits Market Founder & CEO ---------------------------------- For us, this is still ok. I went back through my orders and I very rarely spend less than $60 a week. I don't have the other options that people in the bigger cities do and I so much appreciate being able to get things delivered by them. I've had a really good experience with them. Hardly any problems with quality etc.

This is borderline abusive.

Stop it. You're making my fridge jealous.

I wondered the same thing. Those potatoes. I stared at them for longer than I care to admit.

Well, I promise I'd think this was a gourmet meal. Looks delicious.

😳 That. Is. Awesome.

Curley's BBQ is our favorite.

@rotutsWhat is that you're drinking? I found a new to us brand of boudin at Wal-Mart so had to try it. It's ok. I liked it. Needs more spice...not as good as my usual boudin purchases. Ronnie thought it could be more meaty. I liked the balance between rice and meat. Made a fruit salad and breakfast to go with. Goose and duck season has been a bit sparse which is odd considering how cold it's been. Maybe they just didn't come down due to the draught conditions we had earlier in the season. Anyway Ronnie got a goose a few days ago so I roasted it. Mushroom salad and @Mmmpompsroasted potatoes on the side Canadian bacon and pepperoni for pizza night Yesterday I finally got all of Christmas packed away downstairs so needed something easy. I thawed out some chili and made spaghetti red.

Wow your husband is a trooper! I'm so glad he's feeling like eating!

Green jello UGH. Only matched by yellow jello. Come on at least do red or orange!

Oh gosh I feel his pain. I hope he heals quickly. I know I didn't feel much like eating for a while after my surgeries. That little pasta will be great. Not that you asked, but here is a link to a topic on EG about what to make and eat after dental work.

Oh no! So much for my glowing review of Goldbelly lol. Glad you could find something up there in Omaha.

I saw this the last time we were at the liquor store. I made Ronnie come see, too. We laughed out loud.

We went to Wal-Mart a couple of weeks ago and while perusing the meat section I ran across ox tails at a semi-decent price--$6.89 or something close to that. Years ago we could have gotten them way cheaper than that...but...ever since I saw @blue_dolphin's ragu she made the other day I've been craving oxtail ragu. So, I threw the tails in my cart and went to check out. OMG we must have misread the sign because that price was PER POUND. Soooooo...these were over $18. I think Ronnie must not have noticed because he'd have taken that package straight back to it's spot in the meat case. Good news is we have tons of leftover to put in the freezer. I present the world's most expensive ragu LOL:

OH all of that food looks so good. That ceviche and the octopus!!! WANT!!!

Well, I am so sorry your trip ended so short and that you felt so bad. I guess the one good thing is you only had a day and half left...which is a lot, but at least you weren't sick the whole time. Your wife is a trooper to have hung in there and gone out like she did. It's good that you tested negative so you got back home, but I would guess that you both had some version of covid. Your symptoms were so much like my last round. Also so glad you had such nice attendants on your flight. Again, being that sick and having to fly from a different country....I think that would be so hard. Thank you so much for showing the journey. The food....the FOOD!!! Makes me want to make Asian tonight which would be nothing like what you ate. The lime juice drinks always look so refreshing. I know I would like those. Again, many thanks.

My breakfast this morning. I'm trying to resist eating the rest of the anchovies out of the can.

Ronnie went fishing the other day. A buddy of his asked him to go. He's not usually a cold weather fisher person. Didn't catch a lot. Maybe one crappie and a drum? Anyway I supplemented with some bass from the freezer. Fresh fish is good, but you will not catch me sitting in a boat when it's 40 degrees out and windy. Nope lol. Had to run into the store again and saw more tomatillos. Had to buy them. So Mexican food again. Chicken enchiladas. SV'd another chicken breast for sandwiches. Ronnie wanted spaghetti...my favorite as you all know. So I made a meat sauce. Roasted a turkey quarter and made a little Thanksgiving type meal. Satisfied my Stove Top Stuffing craving for a while. Yesterday Ronnie smoked some baby back ribs and I finished them in the IP. We usually don't buy those but these must have been on sale. I like the regular ribs just fine, but I reaaaalllly like these baby backs.

Either way, Dorothy is delicious 😄

I've been meaning to try a copy cat recipe for making Dorothy L. but haven't gotten to it. The base is a can of condensed tomato soup.

It's kind of like French dressing only better IMO.

Dorothy Lynch! I just bought some at the store last week. Good stuff. Love the pink bowls. And all of those goodies! You are a lucky girl! Yes, it was seafood enchiladas. Somewhere around here I posted about those....I'll try to find it.

We call those swamp coolers around here. Ronnie has one in his garage/shop that he uses all summer. Really does help with the heat. Aaaaaannnnnd, now I want chicken wings. Not the ones I make. I want those wings that you had.
