I have the highest respects for those who lived in "old days" who shelled enough beans to last their families until the next harvest. I think I would need 2 more SETS of hands and a lot more land. We just spent an hour shelling kidney and black beans only to get less than one quart canning jar full. Humm....So i'm going to plant a lot more, let's see what I can get out of it. I always (usually) have a 2 gallon bucket full of mixed beans ready for bean soup, while I don't cook the whole amount it makes a nice mixed bean soup and I throw a handful in when I make beef veggie soup.
I also took JM and AM some yummies, a didn't know what SC would want, but she told me! So tomorrow I have to remember to take some to her. I'm gonna get up in a few, I'm resting my back and work on laundry, the kitchen and picking up the shredded paper mess the boys made. Trust me they are going to help or it will be a long night sitting in the diningroom. I'm going to have them take it out to the compost pile since we have put a bunch of frut rines out there recently and want to even it out with carbons or is it nitrogens..hum gonna have to look that one up. I also got a bag idea that I want to try, I will have to make it to Walmart southside for some inserts.
Okay, I need to scoot, I need to find room in the fridge for the tomatoes and beans.
toodles...
