Musings

  • One bushel of pie apples makes a lot of stuff.
    • So far, I’ve gotten one load into our food dehydrator, and Irish Woman has made two double batches of apple-cinnamon-bourbon preserves.
    • For those of you counting at home, it takes 21 average-sized apples to fill our food dryer.
    • We still have a lot left.  Probably dry a lot of them, and possibly can some pie filling.
    • We have had our semi-yearly discussion about why we are not able to distill the fruit into liquor.
  • 4 hours of sleep in 48 hours is not as easy when you’re 43 as it was when you’re 23.
  • I think that if I had consumed just a little more coffee this morning, I would have started hallucinating.
  • Dropping an aluminum canning kettle onto a box full of new jam, making a heck of a noise and breaking the seal on a couple of jars, will cause you to swear quite artistically.
  • It’s kind of nice to not have to run the air conditioner and sleep with the windows open in July.
    • On the other hand, my tomatoes need hot, humid weather, so I’m hoping this is a short cold spell.

    I didn’t think it was possible to have TOO MUCH coffee… 🙂
