I have in the past browned the beef first, but in my opinion, it really didn't make much of a difference in the end product.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-56862291327981414792016-04-25T10:19:11.270-05:002016-04-25T10:19:11.270-05:00Did you cold pack the meat or hot pack?Did you cold pack the meat or hot pack?Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-35429559411386993912016-04-22T17:09:58.282-05:002016-04-22T17:09:58.282-05:00SJ...Slow and steady is good thing.

But there is nothing wrong with stocking up with canned goods from the stores. I think it is important just to stock up, no matter the source.<br /><br />Enjoy your garden day. It sounds like you have found a good group of fellow gardeners. With coffee and snacks, yet!<br /><br />I just finished watching Maddie Mae and her dance partner do their duet routine. They nailed it! Lots of whooping and hollering here from Grandma! I will watch the awards ceremony later this evening to see if the judges agree that my granddaughter is just awesome. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-1007966435295753022016-04-22T16:55:33.571-05:002016-04-22T16:55:33.571-05:00Harry...I completely agree.

I am perfectly happy to leave the adventures to the younger set. I think it takes reaching a certain age to truly appreciate the simple things.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-53180319811714750322016-04-22T15:57:48.522-05:002016-04-22T15:57:48.522-05:00I quite like my life and it is anything but exciti...I quite like my life and it is anything but exciting to anyone watching. I think 'slow and steady' is just fine..LOL.<br />Your canned meat sounds amazing - I really do just need to buckle down and try pressure canning. It just hasn't come to the top of my to-do list yet.<br />The local store has a case lot sale this week so I spent some money restocking my canned beans. It works for me. I use a 1/2 a can for two meals and freeze the other half.<br />Going to my garden tomorrow for a work day. Compost is being delivered and it should be a fun, if wet, time. The group is organized enough to have coffee and snacks. I'm looking forward to meeting some new people.<br />Have a great time watching your grands!! I had to laugh, my neighbors probably think I'm a little touched as well when I'm talking to the tv.

I use that in stew and soup and in a gravy over rice or potatoes or noodles. But I wanted some in larger pieces to be used for roast beef dinners. I think this will work really well for that a well as lots of other dishes. I just love having canned meat on hand.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-31002145141037170932016-04-22T06:04:48.571-05:002016-04-22T06:04:48.571-05:00That canned beef will be really handy...
