After Action Review

Don't know exactly why that title insisted on staying...but it did. 

Anyway...the produce (read green beans) is coming in now and we've been busy.
Picture
Monday evening Mama and I cleaned the Cantares and Blue Lakes. (Cantares are a small French bean.) They actually got processed yesterday...but only after Daddy set up my great-aunt's old six-burner stove in the middle of the garage because the Conservo would not work on the new ceramic top in the kitchen. I imagine the neighbors really think we are crazy now. ;)
Picture
These mostly look like Blue Lakes here...the jar second from left has Cantares in it, I think.
Yesterday (Tuesday), we tackled some Roma's. (Flat beans.) Daddy and Mama used the FoodSaver to get them ready for the freezer.
Picture
They also did squash...chunks and grated. The grated stuff works great for breads.

Picture
This morning, I sliced and packaged beets before tossing them into the freezer. I love beets. :)
Picture
Daddy bought Mama that knife several years ago--and I love it!
Picture
Four quarts. We don't have any freezer bags, so they got double bagged--with two different types of bag!
Currently there are other green beans in the works...Mama is in the next room snapping beans, listening to a Joe Morecraft sermon. I have two different skillets going in the kitchen full of green beans, purple beans and yellow beans.

Blue Lake beans.
And now...if you'll forgive the short, un-adorn-ed-ness of this post...I need to toddle out and give my chickens their 11:30 feeding.

Fresh garden vegetables!! Pretty much the best thing since sliced bread!...possibly even better...

Everything looks wonderful!! And yummy! That is really too bad the conservo won't work on the new stove. Is the six burner electric or propane? Just curious. Glad you had a back up to use.

'Tis...it's just because the bottom of the Conservo isn't flat...it dips up in the center, so the heat from the ceramic top just doesn't function properly...

The six burner (of which only 5 work) is electric...I hope to put up a picture of the "garage stove" set up tomorrow. :)

    The Middle Kid

    I chose to title this blog "The Adventures of a Middle Kid" because that is exactly what I'll be detailing (mostly). I chose 'kid' over any other word, like 'girl' (I am the middle girl so it also would have worked) or 'child'
    (since I am no longer exactly a child).

    I am a middle kid and I will always be a middle kid--even when I'm 80!
