Good morning, MMC!
It is going to be a hot one here today, but it is supposed to cool down a bit for the next few days. Yay! I have lots to do today as tomorrow I am spending a good portion of the day canning peppers. I am going to do a lot of the prep work this evening while I listen to the Greasy Skillet. I also have to do paperwork for the store, but I don't think it will take me but an hour or so.
The littlest kitten, Bear, came running up the porch steps a bit ago. I gave her a can of kitten food as she refuses to eat crunchy food for kittens. She is so small and does not appear to be growing very fast, but she does seem to be doing a bit better. She is such a sweetie. If I didn't have Mouse, I would bring her in for company for Palmer. Mouse and Palmer are still at odds with each other. Yesterday Mouse was upset because Palmer had her toys all over the place. My brother had been playing with her and so she had seven paper balls, a couple of cardboard tubes, her plastic holly leaves (she loves those - definitely my cat) and several jingle balls in Mouse's favorite walking spots. Mouse took a violent swipe at one of the jingle balls so I asked her if she wanted to play and she gave me an earful. It was kind of comical listening to her complain about all the toys. I guess she finally reached her tolerance limit. Needless to say, the toys are all put away or disposed of and peace is reigning once more in the house.
I hope all of you have a most wonderfully MERRY day and stay cool!
:dance:
I love candy canes and anything pepperminty. Maybe I should order some!
I ordered 2 "2012" ornaments for my 2 Goddaughters & I ordered the Angel for the Fontanini nativity scene for another Goddaughter. I am buying her a piece to the fontanini nativity scene for every birthday so when she is 18'ish she should have a whole set & then I'll buy her the stable for her graduation.AND of course along with the order is the tiny candy cane. I am saving that to enjoy on another Christmassy day!!!! I don't know why Bronners candy canes always taste better!!
Sorry if someone already answered this post Xmas, I told you I'm really behind, but anyway, they're ham's are awesome. My parents bought one last year and they plan on doing that now as a tradition. So good! I can't wait!
Yay for the rain, yay for the pumpkin (so exciting) and yay for your parents' anniversary.
Yeah, get the stroller and make a video for youtube. Meceka could make a video for youtube, too.

How do you can your peppers? We always have a lot of peppers & I always like to hear different ways to put them up. I haven't found a great one yet!! I guess I just like them fresh!
Cute story about the cats!
I freeze bell, pimento and sweet banana peppers whole - they are great for cooking but not for eating raw. The hot peppers (and some mild, ones, too) I pickle using the following brine:
1 cup Kosher salt
12 cups water
4 cups cider vinegar
To each hot, sterile pint jar I add:
A piece of potato
A piece of carrot
A piece of onion
Garlic clove(s)
A dash of ground sage
A splash of extra virgin olive oil
Various sliced peppers - I mix all colors and kinds of peppers, the hotter, the better!
Bring brine to a boil and fill the jars up and seal. They need to set a few months so the flavors blend. You end up with a buttery, not salty pepper. Great on pizza!
What makes them so awesome? I love trying new things, so I wondered what made them so good.

I still haven't discovered where she got them from. She really loves them, CM3! She carts them all over the house. For some reason I find them in the bathtub a lot cheesy
I'm not sure how to describe it, but it's just the best ham I've ever tasted. It's so juicy and has the best glaze. They have all different kinds, so I would have to ask my mom what kind they buy. I always talk to her everyday. I will let you know. Sorry I can't be more help. I just think they're really good.

I hope you make it too! =]Wayne and I are heading to the lake this morning to take a walk. I love going there on Saturdays, it is so crowded and fun to watch everyone going by on their bikes, roller blades, even funny looking bikes that I don't know what they are called but you kind of lay down when you ride it and we even see unicycles! I love seeing all the dogs out there walking!!! I wish I could bring mine but they are little chihuahuas and they have never done well on long walks, we end up carrying them and they seem uncomfortable being carried for too long. I need to get them a stroller!
Then all of us at MMC can all head to Bernies and Bradmac can make us a Tofu Scramble with fresh fruit!
Wayne and I hope we can make it to that Christmas store today!
And, I wish I could take a walk to a lake like that!
I would find a bench and just sit there and watch! =]
Bernies it is! (I had to google Tofu Scramble though! Haha)
Good morning Holiday!
Pumpkins on someone's porch sounds promising =]
Happy anniversary to your parents! ♥
Good morning Made!
It's sounds like you're having a great day yourself!
ENJOY the weekend!!!!!! =]
Yard sale is done! Got rid of a bunch of stuff we no longer wanted or used anymore.
Taking the left over good stuff to the thrift store, threw out the "I wonder if anyone will actually buy this?" stuff.
Amazingly profitable sale for a bunch of stuff we did not want.
Now I have to get some lunch and then go to work.
Have a great afternoon everyone!
