OK, decideed to write this now, that way I can drink coffee and read the paper, in my jammies and robe.
RABBIT, take it easy, you will be OK. Gotta have faith...
Niko, You too, sending up prayers
Gbug, saying prayers for you too, hope you are doing better, stay safe in the storms, was watching some of the chasers tonight, theres some good thunderstorms down your way.. did you win a bunch of money?
FW, yum ... ice cream,
So glad your DS had the truck checked out, would have been a mess if he broke a tie rod going down the highway!!
Hope DH gets the new job, at home and more money!!
How that little puppy doing?? are you feeling better? Sending up prayers for you too!!
Hope your cat is ok.
Ayanka, What a wonderful thing you are doing!! Isn't that what its all about? giving to others?!!
Rai, hope you are doing better, so glad your dishwasher is back up and running, I don't know what I would do with out one!!
SD, Ok, now this is confusing so hope you get it, we had a big mess DH went back down to the butcher this morning to figure this all out.
Put the meat in food safe container, pour in water, until covered, measuring as you go.
dump out the water
fill stock pot with the new measured water, add 1 pint of pickling spice, and dehydrated celery juice, until water turns tea color, then cool
Inject the heck out of the meat with the brine from above, put the meat back into the food safe container and cover with the rest of the brine, keep in refridgerater
turn and rotate meat everyday for 3 to 4 days
pat dry and smoke with your favorite wood, which will be hickory and apple.
we are also going to glaze it with apple, pineapple, brown sugar.
I guess you can buy the dehyrated celery juice at walmart or any butcher? OK, thats what we are told.
DH brought home samples of their ham, and its kinda different, it has NO salt taste to it, but we think when we add the glaze it will be better. We are cooking both of them, plus the hamhock, then we can freeze the other one, and warm it up like you do a ham.
I'm pretty excited! TA-DA, my own cured ham!! Next is hot dogs and sausage!!
Yes, I am SO lucky, My family goes out of their way to help me with my diet, I never would have thought They would do all this for ham. This is one reason I am not losing any weight! lol
Sounds like I need to come raid your freezer!! Oh yea, love the ice cream in the winter!! well and the summer!
Hey, I can hope the guy comes for the pool table!!
Hope you feel better too! Please dont pass it on to me!
ILC, I'm ok, I had back problems before all this other stuff, now I have to deal with both, sometimes I think I should have my back fused, then I think again. I'm feeling much better today, thanks for thinking about me!!
How are you doing, seeing you keep ignoring my question!! LOL
Hey, Ice cream break!!! Did you hear FW yell??!!
Hi to everyone I forgot,
I didn't get a thing done from my list, but we got the fish tank all done, and the fish seem to be happy in their new digs! They went from a 20 gallon to a 90 gallon, I have fallen in love with the fish, and one of the corals, aww,, Dh asked me if I wanted the old tank, it took everything I had to say no. We had a big tank for years, and everytime I lost a fish it would kill me. These fish are salt water so they are more expensive too! I will just go and visit theirs, I have a favorite fish and saving money to buy them a coral to add to their collection. Since I have claimed one of theirs as mine. I just love it and the more I make a fuss about it the bigger it gets! lol Tho it kills me whe we lose a coral too.
