Years ago my mother prided herself with the fact that if worldly destruction came upon us, we would be well fed for a good 5 years with her healthy wholesome homemade canned food. We had everything...applesauce, salsa, chili sauce, a variety of jams including: strawberry, peach, raspberry, wildberry, applebutter, jalapeano, blueberry...Also canned veggies: pickles and beets, chili beean dip, tomato sauce, tomato puree, and whole tomatoes.
I believe the last time she canned something was in 1997, and what would ya know...WE STILL HAVE CANNED GOODS that is now 8 YEARS OLD! I'm not willing to put my stomach and my lacking gag reflex on the line for a possible glitch in the preservation-of-food-thru-canning system!!! I bring this up because my mom made a lovely dinner tonight, and thought it would be nice to have a generous serving of her famous applesauce with our pork. I trust 8 year old applesauce about as much as I trust 2 week old raw beef!
Today I spent a few hours outside doing yard work. It was a beautiful day to be out! It's hard to believe that it's still in the mid 70's in the middle of October...Hard to believe in Nebraska! I'm like 4 minutes walking distance from Jocelyn Castle, which is just shy of of being the most beautiful place in the Midwest.
Have a creative evening young ones!

So, a WHOLE new look over here? Wow! You're getting pretty good at this template thing.
Mmmmm....old canned goods...I don't know; they SAY canned goods are fine to eat millenia later. I love raspberrys.
Wow, that IS nice for Omaha! Go to the zoo for me and pet the bears. I love the bears. I love Omaha zoo...
Cheally, that was me I was just playing...seeing if I could trick you!!!! hehe
HAHA It worked!!
Fritz: I actually have been thinkng of going to the zoo...If I do, I'll stop by the bears!
If you do stop by the zoo, I wouldn't think petting the bears is a very good idea......
Old canned goods? Eh I dunno, though you're talking to someone who throws leftovers out after 3 or 4 days.
Ashley, that's because you're normal!! I'd give my right arm to have my mother have your way of thinking!!
What?? I didn't photoshop that picture. That's what me and my dog look like.
yeah...I really thought it was her!! She had come over for dinner that same night, and I thought she might have gotten a glance of my blog...I deleted it b/c in the previous post I said that she was the 'purest' form of evil...True but, didn't think she'd react well.
no, no, the bears at Omaha are SPECIAL bears. They have spoken with me when I would do homework there.
I asked them about Statistics Permutations, and they would quiz me and I would feed them fish, and we were all quite happy.
The bears help with homework, Michaela. They do. They really, really do.
I'm with ya Fritz. My dad thought I was crazy when I told him a male organgutan was putting the moves on me.
Hey all. Check out this! It's a really cool website I found.
