Weekly Highlights

Hello world! Today I organized 1.5 cabinets with all of the rest to go. I did not realize that there were so many cabinets to go through. I would show you the before and after, but no one really wants to see that... do they? 


I think I am going to start working toward my business analyst certification this year. It will help me if anything happens to the sweet gig I have now. 


What are you doing today?

Let it SNOW!

 It has snowed.... again. Why? Why? Well.. apparently it is January and it snows in January. The dog and I both agreed that we would wait to go on a long walk until after the snow was mostly gone.


Did I tell you I really don't like snow?

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.

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.
