What have you done to prep this week?

[ladyhk13]

I bought 25 pounds of white mushrooms on the way home. I'm currently slicing and dicing for the dehydrator. I'll do a bunch in slices, a bunch diced, and a when they're dry, I will grind a bunch up for bullion powder.

mmmm I like mushrooms

I canned a bunch a while back and they tasted just like what ya buy in the store in the cans....they are great. might want to try it that way in 1/2 pint jars to use with your steaks?

If you have a recipe handy, I might give it a try with a few... but I've never been crazy on canned mushrooms... rehydrated, they taste like they're fresh. especially with steaks!

Go to this page and there are very simple quick directions....I love them canned but you can try a couple of jars and if nothing else you can add them into chicken and dumplings or something!

I'm still flooring, and may be flooring forever....ok probably not forever but it sure as heck feels like it and my knees are killing me. By the time I am done I will have done about 1200 sq ft....ugh.

Dried a couple gallons of peppers, then put them through the coffee grinder to make my spice rub. Now I have plenty to get me through the winter and I still have around 4 gallons hanging out to air dry. I have a red and a green pepper spice that will make yours eyes water and start coughing just to smell it. YUMMY....

Also added 4 boxes of Twinkies....I still want my little girl to be happy too.

Let me know how they come out. bty...where did you get 25lbs of shrooms? wow!
I have been canning chicken breast all day. I would normally have thrown out the rib bones but I thought....hmmm, what can I do with these thing? What would my mom do (she is always doing something with bones)? So I boiled them up with some ck. boullion and made chicken stock and canned it too!!! Yabba dabba doo! I also took all the really small pieces (all those little shavings that are stuck inside the ribs) of chicken and put them in a quart jar to use for chicken and dumplings or just to throw into something to add some flavor. I am still canning, have one more batch to do..................then tomorrow I would like to do 10 lbs of potato's. I am working on figuring out the perfect way to keep the starch from collecting on the bottom of the jars after being stored a while. Some of my jars are nice and clear and others have some starch so I can't remember what I did different. Must have been in the cleaning process or something?
