| What we had left on Monday! |
We went to a local farmers market on Saturday. I am going to support my local community as much as I can. Trying to stay out of big box stores. I did buy a bicycle yesterday from Walmart, but anything else that I can get local I will. Another great way is to try and get items you need from local facebook groups.
Used a Over The Door Hanging Shoe Organizer and hung it over the fence. I actually had to cut the bottom 4 off because it was too long!
Filled each place up with potting soil after putting tiny drain holes into each place. I put seeds into each place, labeled them. I had gotten this 15 Culinary Herb Seed Vault. I only used 12 of them right now. It was starting to rain again while I was putting this together. It took me about 10 minutes to do it all. Hopefully I will have an update that will be good news. That they are actually growing.
I bought one of these Over The Door Hanging Shoe Organizer and a big bag of potting soil. I had gotten a pack of herb seeds a while ago and am going to use the hanging shoe organizer to grow them in. Hang it over my fencing and hopefully it will work. I need to punch some tiny holes in the bottom of each place to make sure the water can drain.
Just waiting for all of this storming to stop so that I can get outside and do this. As soon as I have it all set up I will make another post with pictures etc.
This is actually easy to make and taste so good. I have used ground beef, diced steak, and even a can of Keystone Ground Beef. This recipe is pretty versatile. I have even added green beans to it. I cook this all in an oven safe pan.
NEED:
Ground beef
Can of corn, drained
Carrot , diced
Onion, diced
Beef Stock
Salt & Pepper
Mashed Potatoes - Sometimes I make them or just use a single pack of the instant mashed potatoes.
Cook up the ground beef with the onion and carrots. Drain.
Add the beef stock and a 1/4 cup of water.
Cook up till thicken.
Add the can of corn.
top with the mashed potatoes and put in and oven that was preheated to 375. Cook until the top is slightly browned.
You can top with cheese also.
Oh wow! Got woke up at about 2 am by the horrible strong smell of kerosene. It was below zero here wind chill so I had lit the heater yesterday morning. Hoping to just use it to get through the few days of frigid arctic blast. The smell scared me and I was tired so I turned it off.
On waking up I did some googling and found out the reason it was starting to smell so bad of kerosene was because I had set it too low!! I am usually real good at using my heater. Have grown up around them and used them myself for the last 20 years. You have to find that happy medium on the Wick when you first set it. You can set it too high or too low.
They really put out the heat so they are awesome when the wind chills fall. Just have to be safe with them. I have a huge kitchen and one part if just for the heater. Nothing sitting around it.
Our local places that usually sell kerosene are out of it! Planning on this summer to buy it when ever I can to stockpile for next winter.
Always be prepared for anything. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
