I spent quite a bit of the first of the week wondering if we would actually get on our trip especially after the letter we got from Air Canada. I now know that this letter was sent to everyone and I should just ignore it as it was just meant for those who had already been cancelled and made to take a different and later flight.
So I know we will reach our destination and am not to worried if the attendants vote not to accept the new contract as we are coming back from our trip with a flight that is not included in that union.
So what have I been up to this week. I have been trying to get things under control in the garden and in the house. Tring to clear out the fridge of items that can be made into something else and store in the freezer, or use up little bits so I don't have to worry about them spoiling while we are gone.
Trimmed the fringe on Kris's rug, cut apart and hemmed the tea towels (they need a bit of a press now). Moved on to making something different with the leftover apples from the neighbour's tree.
First time ever making apple chutney.
I have gotten one quilt almost bound and will work on the second one tomorrow.
Making various items to use up bits and bobs from the fridge. I will show pictures of that later this week. Making soups, flat breads, and casseroles to use up whatever I can. I do want a very empty fridge when we leave. Nothing should be available to spoil. I think there will be lots of soups made and stored in the freezer for use later.
Made perogies, and the leftover filling was put into two Lazy Perogy Casseroles. Recipe to follow tomorrow as I was asked for it.
I have a feeling that the menu for next week will be changing dramatically as there are many bits and bobs that need to be cleared out, and lots of items need to be cleared out of the fridge.
Wish me luck on getting everything done, as not only fridge clearing is necessary but gardening and processing will continue.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Hi Jackie, praying for a safe trip for you, dear friend. The mittens are lovely, and great job on making Chutney!
ReplyDeleteAlways work to do on the homestead! You deserve a vacation.
ReplyDeleteThe way you work - you got this. Hope the trip is lovely.
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting everything done Jackie, you'll need a vacation after that. I love the mittens you make for your son's students. I'm sure they are really appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYes, your vacation will be well deserved as hard as you work, Jackie. I'm praying for safe travels for you both. The mittens are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe time is getting closer till your trip!
ReplyDeleteLove the mittens and I think this is such a sweet thing that you do.
ReplyDeleteYesterday we bought a bag of 'imperfect' cucumbers which happened to be cheaper than buying just ONE individual. We only need one for what the RC is planning to make so he'll turn the rest into refrigerator pickles. Have you ever tried making them? They're easy and will use up your glut of cukes.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your travel plans are still a 'go'.
