Thank you!! I'm always jealous of all of the delicious food. I'll go ahead an book a flight and take those extra days you don't want LOL

Nope. And sometimes I just leave the ring on. I'm lazy like that lol.

I put my IP lid in the dishwasher.

It's the bicolored kernels that look just like Nirvana....but I'm no expert lol. But it is the sweetest most delicious corn I've ever had.

Congratulations!

That looks exactly like Nirvana corn. If it is, it's the best IMO.

Dejah, you are such an amazing chef!!! I'd love to hear more about the chicken balls--no rush, just when you have some free time I'm jealous of your peaches. I haven't had time....or rather taken the time to try to source some around here. I'm always so glad when I have some canned up but it just felt too overwhelming this year lol.

Yes! That's Nirvana. I used to grow Silver Queen, and while it's really good, Nirvana is now my favorite and I only plant that. The kernels are bigger and juicer and sweeter. I'm sad the corn is done for this year. I suppose I could plant another round but.....I guess I'm not that sad lol.

I freeze pizza dough a lot. Make it into a ball, wrap in saran and stick it in a ziplock.

What a great idea!

I meant to comment again on your scotch eggs. They look soooo good. I need to get brave and try to make some.

It all looks delicious! You did a great job. I hope you are now relaxing and having a cold beverage. It's hot!

That is a brilliant idea! No, I've never even thought of doing that. I'll have to try!

Mostly....I have some things that are older like pickled okra. I bring a large pot of water to a boil then put the corn in for 5 mins. Take it out and place in a sink full of ice water. Let it cool completely and then slice it off with a knife.

We're certainly not carb free or anything but I've been looking for small ways to cut back on them. I ran across someone doing this when I was looking for low carb ideas. I bought this brand of already crushed up rinds. Of course, you could whizz them up yourself but I figured it would take many bags to get a decent amount. Anyway, I put some crushed rinds in a ziplock and seasoned it up with Lawry's salt, black pepper and a few crushed pepper flakes. I've also used dry Ranch dressing and tossed it in there. Put the fish in an egg wash and then dip it in the rinds and fry as usual. It's crunchy and good. You can taste the pork rinds a bit but that's not off-putting to us.

Lots of sweet corn vac packed and in the freezer Around 16 bags of spaghetti sauce 21 jars of plain tomatoes and juice are downstairs on the canning shelves along with homemade canned Rotel using our first jalapeños ready from the garden

I haven't been taking any pictures but I still order Misfits every week. No complaints. Even in this heat my cold pack stuff is still cold enough that it's all ok. Anyway, last week they offered Hatch chiles. I was skeptical but I ordered. They are beautiful! The label says they are really from NM. I roasted them last night so I'll peel them today and put some in the freezer.

No question. You have to eat BLT's with homegrown tomatoes over everything else at all times This summer doesn't seem to be slowing down. I can't remember the last time I was able to take a nap. I miss my naps lol. Roasted chicken quarters. The rest is all from our garden. I swear I could eat that corn every day and not get tired of it. Homemade key lime pie for dessert Venison meatloaf with beans from the garden Fried fish--used crushed up pork rinds Still being overrun with squash. They may soon invade the other rooms of the house and completely take over. So zoodles which used up one whole squash 🙄 Deli meat sandwiches. I think I canned that day and needed something easy. Zucchini pizza boats Big salad night More roasted chicken Last night was Canadian bacon/sausage pizza using the bacon that Ronnie cured and made. Super good. Berries and cream for dessert

What a thoughtful and kind thing to do!

I loved every second of this! Thank you!!

Really enjoying this as always!

I'm impressed. When I'm alone I stand in front of the fridge and eat a piece of cheese.

OMG IM DYING LAUGHING!!!! SOOOOO true

I haven't found anything that wowed me except an ice maker that makes ice like Sonic--nugget shaped, my favorite. It's on sale for like $450 down from $600 something. Still couldn't justify buying it.....I don't have room anyway unless I put it by my bed like @JoNorvelleWalkerlol.
