No spring cleaning here. Dealing with Sam's Club haul. Canning chicken breast - dehydrating hash browns - cutting up chickens for the freezer. Glad to have it. Had my beans with ham and cornbread last week. Wonderful! Will have to make a pot of beef vegetable soup, though, one day this week. Darn that Jess anyway!!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-4390042255589098782014-04-27T14:12:19.542-05:002014-04-27T14:12:19.542-05:00Love rain.

Hopefully sometime this afternoon I'll be able to hit my chair too.

The memory of the smell of that simmering soup won't let me rest until I make some!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-45916775921577516032014-04-27T12:35:58.229-05:002014-04-27T12:35:58.229-05:00The preparing, browning of the meat and adding the...The preparing, browning of the meat and adding the rest of the ingredients are done. <br /><br />Now, it's time for the slow simmer and wait. <br /><br />It does smell wonderful.

Nobody could see it from the street and the sound of the rain hitting it would be so nice.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-57757419110511507692014-04-27T10:21:53.249-05:002014-04-27T10:21:53.249-05:00Oh, Lordy, Jess.

I'll bet I will be able to smell it simmering from here.<br />I canned chicken breast all day yesterday, and the two jars that didn't seal are on my menu for today. Don't know what I will do with them yet, but whatever it is, it can't possibly beat your homemade vegetable beef soup.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-84893666582750574842014-04-27T10:13:01.131-05:002014-04-27T10:13:01.131-05:00When my cousin first moved from rural West Virgini...When my cousin first moved from rural West Virginia to suburban Atlanta in the early sixties, he missed the sound of rain on a tin roof. His solution? He found a piece of scrap tin somewhere, and when it rained, he'd lay it atop the shrubbery next to the window. He said it sounded just like home.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-35361528919195795112014-04-27T10:05:03.551-05:002014-04-27T10:05:03.551-05:00We don't have any rain and only a tiny threat....We don't have any rain and only a tiny threat. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the cut of beef is thawed, I have a trip to the grocery store to make and the soup should be on within two hours. <br /><br />Vegetable beef is the flavor of the day and there should be plenty to freeze for the future.
