A friend gave us a big
ol' bag of peppers that we couldn't possibly eat before either we barfed or they went bad so i found out how to dry them (the 'net said that if i do it in my handy dandy dehydrator it would create "noxious fumes that will burn your eyes")... so i decided to hang dry them. It took forever to get the yarn through all gazillion of them but it was worth it... plus it acts like a kitchen decoration too...
So in the last 2 years
I've learned a few things that i had never known before:
- How to make and jar jam
- How to make and jar pickles
- Grow a garden and actually be able to eat what comes out of it
- How to blanch and freeze zucchini and squash
- How to make chocolate zucchini cake and zucchini bread (both are actually quite tasty!)
- How to dry peppers
- How to make beef jerky (with the above mentioned handy-dandy dehydrator)
- How to make fruit roll ups with applesauce and jello
- And thanks to Karen how to make these delicious chocolate cup with marshmallow creme with fruit tiny dessert thingies. Yum!
All in all not a bad batch of things to learn...
There were a ton of rocks to play with (CJs favorite thing in the whole wide world). He would stack them 3-4 high then knock them over. He was a happy boy!
With a lack of sea shells Ash decided that finding crab legs was the next best thing...
What a beautiful place to spend an afternoon!
