They and the pears will be so good this winter.<br /><br />I have been stocking up on cheese for $3/lb. and thought that was good. Hard cheese will last for ages in the frig. and it can be frozen too.<br />**I have learned you able to can it as well. I will give that a try one of these days, and let everyone know how it works. <br /><br />Those tortilla shells can be frozen. I do that all the time and have several packages in the freezer now.<br /><br />I love apple season. Our orchard up the road is pretty expensive, so I wait till they are about to close down for the season each Jan. They sell 1, get 1 any size bag or by bushel.<br /><br />You go girl!!!!!!!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-48582790205349393272015-09-14T12:25:54.199-04:002015-09-14T12:25:54.199-04:00I will be taking extra blankets and sheets up to c...I will be taking extra blankets and sheets up to camp. For some reason there were only two blankets up there when we went this weekend. We also smoked a turkey breast after brining it, and so delicious, we'll do it again. We used hickory wood from camp.<br /><br />One of the bunk beds has torn fabric underneath on the box spring. So I will mend it with an old sheet and a staple gun so the dust from the box spring won't shower the person in the bottom bunk, ha ha!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410460924678199830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-1935595117068101722015-09-14T12:23:54.196-04:002015-09-14T12:23:54.196-04:00Apples are coming on strong now, our trees are loa...Apples are coming on strong now, our trees are loaded so it will be applesauce making next week.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410460924678199830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-51277483452027245132015-09-14T12:22:33.908-04:002015-09-14T12:22:33.908-04:00Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl!

I was able to get Redskin peaches for $20 a bushel (!). They are ready tonight for canning and freezing. Also picked up some hard pears, but after simmering in chunks and mint candies, now have eight pints and two quarts of them. Also picked up a gallon of honey. It must have been a big gallon because four quart jars were filled and I still have a pint left that is slowly draining out of the upside down jug. Because honey crystallizes, I put it in wide mouth jars (and not left in the narrow mouth jug).<br /><br />Other prizes were a trip to Sharp Shopper for $150 stock up (saved $75). And a trip to Weis for loss leaders, $140 (saved $75). Cheese I found for $2.50 a pound on order, so that comes next month when the truck arrives.<br /><br />I was smart and checked the expiration on some tortilla shells, September 2015 (!) so only got two packages of those.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410460924678199830noreply@blogger.com
