I got some fresh figs!!!! Fig galette

I feel the same way about raisin bread as @liuzhoufeels about corn. But I'm glad others like it

Did they taste like bacon?

I still wish it was decent. When I move in with you I will bring corn and duck guts and make it alllllll 🤗

I'm sorry....it must be the fresh corn.....

HE'S strange for not enjoying the melodic sounds of all that work 😁

It's such hard work...but so rewarding when you hear those "pops" of the lids I always love seeing what people can.

Beautiful!!!

Anna, I would love to be able to show up at your doorstep with a big bowl of this!

That's my kind of meal. Is the red sauce dressing for the salad or sauce for the pasta or? Ronnie had set some chicken quarters out of the freezer for dinner last night. I had planned on frying them until he also brought in a bag of duck livers, hearts and gizzards. I HATE frying hearts. No matter how much I dry them etc. one always pops and gets oil everywhere --including all over me. So, I pivoted to a new recipe that I had been wanting to try. Deviled Duck Hearts by Hank Shaw. I figured it would work fine if I included the livers and gizzards. I pressure cooked the gizzards for 45 mins. on High first. Then I included them in the rest of the steps for the recipe. This was a total keeper and one I hope to make when our hunter friend comes again. Still getting some garden tomatoes Roasted potatoes and chicken and some fried okra on the side.

I'm gonna need more corona beans.......

What a great idea! How long did you marinate? I love pickled shrimp and I haven't made that in forever. I need to rectify that.

@DejahYour meals are always so good looking. Scout and Ronnie got some teal yesterday so duck for dinner! Stuffed with lemons, onions and thyme springs. Rubbed with butter and seasoning. I made another batch of those wonderful RG corona beans. Alfredo with mushrooms and artichokes and our tomatoes. Ronnie really liked the beans mixed with the tomatoes. Had some limes and lemons going south so I juiced a bunch and froze the juice...saved some to make lemon posset for dessert.

That's smart. I've never thought about doing that before. I could do that with some of my onions next summer..... Can you tell me approx. time and temperature?

Great looking food everyone! I'm doing a quick catch up. Some of these might be before our guest came.... BLT's Fried chicken Spaghetti night Our friend brought us some boudin so breakfast had to be made Last night was pizza night along with some fabulous corona beans that @blue_dolphinhere

It worked great! They only deviation was that it took more like 40 minutes when I put the Corona beans back in the pot, not 20. Loved the beans!

I came across a guy that posted a "pressure quick soak" method. Put beans in the IP. Add 8 cups water. High pressure for 1 minute. Let sit for at least 30 mins. Then, drain. Put beans back in. Add 5 cups water and pressure cook for 20 mins. I'm trying this as we speak. I will update

Yours look so good I was thinking of making them today but mine aren't soaked......pressure cooking seems like it might not be the way to go.

Did you pressure cook the beans first?

I'm glad it's not the other way around......I hope they don't stop service in my area like Imperfect did.....

Thank you so much. It's .....not healing as fast as I'd like but it is improving so my stubborn self isn't going to the doctor. Do you have a Filson hunting coat? 🤣

The way my life has been since turning 47 I think I'm in the same boat 🤣 Is the apple dessert a croissant type of dough?

Happy Sunday!!! No ducks were gotten yesterday ......it's just so damn hot. The guys stayed here today to do some work around the house that I'm ever so grateful for. Our friend was supposed to leave early in the morning but has changed his flight to leaving this evening due to something popping up at work. So....this will be the last post for this trip. I vacuum packed and froze I don't know how many doves yesterday. Our friend is going to take some home with him along with some jalapeños from the garden. After doing the doves I made another muffuletta cheesecake using the Instant Pot . Our guest raved about it. I think it's over half gone. The guys grilled doves for dinner......so we had that along with an Asian chicken salad, roasted broccoli and Mac and cheese. I think we are all a little pooped.......especially Scout See you over here in December!

I am definitely jealous and kicking myself for not seeing if our big city store had them. They didn't last Monday so I assume I missed the window if they did.

Yesterday was much the same as the day before....lots of doves were gotten in the morning and then home around 1 pm to start working on projects outside. I cleaned a bit, rested my leg a bit....ok, well a lot lol....then around 2 I started on dinner. Salsa making was going to take forever because my tomatoes are literally the size of grape/cherry tomatoes. I blanched them all in boiling water and then put them in a cold water bath and peeled and peeled. Very tiny. I kept looking out the window for Fedex. I was supposed to have 2 Misfits boxes coming. They always arrive around 2:30....... Anyway. Salsa is our tomatoes and peppers and then our guest brought a Vidalia onion with him so that was used too. Also made a really trashy velveeta cheese dip with some homemade rotel that I canned the summer before this one. There was going to be guacamole until it hit my dumb ass that I had forgotten to take the avocados out of the fridge days ago so they would ripen. Sigh. I googled. There is a method where you wrap them in foil and bake in the oven for 10 mins at 200F Don't try this. It doesn't work. Moving on to the enchiladas. I had made the pork filling a while ago and froze it. Not exciting to look at so I didn't take a picture. Also made green tomatillo sauce back when Misfits had tomatillos....and froze that. I had grand plans to order fresh Hatch chiles ( and some roasted frozen ones) online. All was good until I got to the shipping prices. Holy crap. The cheapest was over $100 and that was like 3-4 day delivery. It's been so hot that that wouldn't work. So, canned chiles it is. I'm feeling pretty proud of myself by now. It's only like 4:30 and I am so ahead of the game! Got the RG beans done Even made a street corn side dish And then things fell apart when at 6:30 the Misfits boxes arrived 🙃Totally threw me off my picture taking. Soooo....the enchiladas looked something like this when done (older picture) I hurried and got the things that needed to be in fridge done....gotta do the rest today. The guys ate breakfast burritos again this morning. Those seem to have worked really well --they can eat them whenever they get hungry during the morning. I'm out of those now, so I will be making breakfast sandwiches or something later today. Teal season opened this morning but I'm told they haven't gotten any yet I'm also told that it's getting hot already and, as you can see, Scout is feeling it. And, yes, she is laying in a big patch of marijuana...in fact, they call it "the marijuana patch". The doves love it in there......
