Canning Turkey

 The day after Christmas, I decided to try something new. I canned 8 pints of turkey (our leftover turkey) to be used at a later time. 

I did some research before purchasing a bird of 19 pounds. There were quite a few what were you thinking moments and questions from my family. As I explained my plan (I was basically flying by the seat of my pants) there were some nods of agreement. I did some research, watched some videos, and did some reviewing.

 I am pretty experienced in pressure canning (I can chicken and beef broth all of the time.) 

Update: I also canned 5 pints of turkey broth. I don't want to say that this was the best broth I have ever canned, but it came dangerously close to being the best broth. Makes me want to make some turkey soup using the canned turkey.

My Big List of Things I am going to do 2022

 

2022 the year of the comeback for the Year of Health

 I have decided (perhaps foolishly) to revive this blog. My goal is to post at least once a week. If nothing else, I am hopeful to post once per month. If so, that will be more times that I have ever published to this website. My goal is to publish at least a weekly list of goals I hope to accomplish in 2022 and my updates to this list each week.

Bits and Bobs

 Today was a great day. I went tubing for the first time with the family and it was really relaxing. 

Yesterday, I went and got help for my plantar fasciitis (aka new shoes) and I also did some research on how to heal my foot pain. It was almost bad enough to go to a doctor, but thankfully the internet cleared me of that notion.

Weight was 185 today as it has been for the last several months. 

Time to get serious. I shall try to post a bit more than I have been.
