Hi, jp!! Okay, now I understand about the gloves. I wasn't exactly feeling edgy, though. I don't know--I've had a nasty chest cold with a fever for three days and have been mostly in bed asleep. I get up once in awhile and sign on here to reassure myself that I am on the mend. This is an interesting way of life, really--even when you are so sick you can hardly move or think straight, there is a whole community of people who live in your head! Is this positive, or could it be like a new mental illness?? Hmm!!
I think you should go for a 450!! The early seventies ones are really nice. Being the town reject must be pretty hard--are you really? I remember watching a documentary about Janis Joplin, and there was footage of her coming back to her high school reunion in Port Arthur, Texas, triumphantly successful after being ridiculed and outcast when she was a teenager, and there was such a mixture of rebelliousness, pride and remembered pain on her face I have never forgotten it.
Beans, you're making beans? Or harvesting beans? Or what? I made a big pot of beans because I wanted my family to be happy eating when I was sick. Unfortunately, besides copious quantities of navy beans, chopped onions and minced garlic, they require ham hocks for flavor, and I am trying to be as vegetarian as I can. I find it is a lot harder to replace things like ham hocks for seasoning than any other meat. If anyone has any ideas on how to make vegetarian soups and stews really good, I would love to know them. Or any good recipes.
Are you canning peaches and making jam? |
