It all about chickens now! Meet Bessie, who rules the hen house. She is a Golden Sex-Link. Bessie has a great personality and lays a wonderful large egg.

Using old bail jar, yes you CAN! With new rubbers.

Pantry

2012-03-06T13:52:00.001-08:00

My pantry is filling up. The bottom rows are quarts and four deep. The wooden (just added) shelf three pint jars deep. Also a lot of half gallon jars with dehydrated goods.. All this year and the season really hasn't started yet. There is another shelf with GROCERY store STUFF, washer,dryer sand sink. Not a lot of room but certainly enough.

Grape Juice

2012-03-01T14:51:00.000-08:00

Just wash your grapes, place about 1 1/2 cups of grapes in a clean jar and pour boiling water over the grapes and do a water bath for 25 mins. That's it. Most people would add 1/2 of sugar or at least 1/4 I did not add any.
