My sister lives on Lake Minerva! Just had coffee with her. In town to help the Mother (almost 93)! She still quilts! Mom that is.
I froze beets the other day - never knew you could until I found out you have to cook them through. Have you ever had buttered beets with a dollop of sour cream. Really good!
Have pretty well done all the freezing I can this year. We have to get a side of beef pretty soon. We had a Charolais/Limousin that last time - good but we like the Angus/Hereford the best. Now we just have to find one good producer, and a good butcher. I will be helping a friend of mine clean deer come November. We usually end up with a whole deer by the time I am through helping. I enjoy cleaning the deer - no bones, no tallow, just pure, unadulterated no cholesterol meat!
