Hello friends, Today has been a busy week. In my last entry I talked about canning beans. Well I ended up with 28 each of white beans and pinto beans. I have also canned turkey broth (5 quarts) and tomorrow I will be canning bean soup. Monday was Canadian Thanksgiving so we had turkey, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, mixed veggies and stuffing. Yesterday I took what was left of the turkey and picked the bones clean. The bones went into a stock pot with some peppercorns and vinegar and simmered half a day. That is where the above mentioned broth comes from. I figured out today that I will get 11 meals and 3 lunches from my 11.7 pound turkey. Not bad if I say so. Dinner tonight is homemade pizza. My second batch of dough is in the bread machine right now. I have some pepperoni, green peppers and onion to put on it this time. Got to go check on the dough. God Bless

I had been given four bags of beans for soup so I am soaking two of them right now to make the bean soup tomorrow in the crockpot. I am the only one that likes it so I am going to can most of it for future meals. I only have one ham bone or I would do all of the bags. Plus I am running very low on jars. 3 half pints and 10 quarts and that is it. I guess I need to see if I can find some marked down. Comments
