Bobby, I like to peel, and slice apples, in small slices and drop in cold salted water..and when you get about a quart strain off water, (I pick them up by hand out of the water) and put in freezer bags for winter. You can make pies,stew them with sugar and cinnamon, or just heat and eat with oatmeal as I do, unsweetened.. Stella

holey moley...... I first learned to stuff an apple w/butter/brown sugar when I was a girl scout!! Amazing I can remember that far back. Anyhoo..... we wrapped the stuffed apples in aluminum foil and tosses them in the campfire. They were so good. yummmeeeee paulette in sw fla usa..... sure would like to get a picture of those squirrels spittin out the pears......rascals On 8/26/08, Bobby Hatfield <bobhat2@gmail.com> wrote: > > Them apples falling off the trees before they get ripe are really good when > you wash, core and fill up the little holes with brown sugar and cinnimon > and nuke them in the microwave for 4 or 5 minutes.

Them apples falling off the trees before they get ripe are really good when you wash, core and fill up the little holes with brown sugar and cinnimon and nuke them in the microwave for 4 or 5 minutes. I been eatin all the fallen ones that ain't been eat on too bad by birds and squirrles. Something I ain't never seen is the squirrles is chewing up the pears and spittin them out, I guess to get the seeds, looks like its rained chewed up pears under my tree.

In 76-77 there was a small resturant in Joilet on West Jefferson that had fine biscuits and gravy, but they imported a hill girl from Tenneesee to show them how. I ate many a down home breakfast there while working in an electrical wire plant, preparing it to relocate to Arkansas. Lots of good ole southern boys heard about them or possibly smelled them cooking and stopped by early mornings. Bobby

ROACHES!! ACK... ICK... run run run.;.... down here we have the Palmetto Bug..... a roach of a sort but not the good old German type. These Palmetto's can be monsters and they can fly...and they do fly.... and they come up from the drains.

How about like 3 hours? In boiling water in a cold pack. Less if you have a pressure cooker which I never had. Buy a Kerr or Ball canning book and follow it exactly. That's how I learned to can. Green beans and corn and vegetable soup, I remember took 3 hours. I think baked beans did too. My husband loved them so I would can some quarts of them for him and the kids. I've never cared that much for baked beans. That is an all day affair to can them. This is from memory but I soaked the beans overnight. Then cooked them the next morning. Then put them with all the additives (catsup, brown sugar, etc) in a roasting pan and baked them for so long. Then I put them in the jars and processed them for 3 hours. Now you can tell how much I loved my husband. <grin> It really was an act of love, with all the work involved.

I'm reading how y'all take advantage of the local produce and why oh why didn't I ever think of buying and canning?? Sometimes I just amaze my own self with my own silliness. I can't do the freezer but I surely am able to can. We have a couple of farmers' markets where I could get some goodies. You guys are such an inspiration...... now I've got to get out and find a canning pot...... and *I think I saw one at WallyWorld and it was affordable.

Paulette, We sometimes have a problem with ants,leaving a bit of honey, syrup or grease around the sink can draw thousands of them to share . We have to make sure we don't leave anything out for them to get to. Water bugs and spiders appear now and then but not often. These homes have no basements or attics so the bugs have to have someplace to go. I haen't seen a roach in the 7 years we have lived here, my daughter seems to be a pretty good housekeeper. The extremely low humidity also keeps them from multiplying very fast. My friend in California puts crumbled 'bsy leaves around in her kitchen cabiners, says they keep the bugs and ants away. Hope you are doing ok and had no damage from the storm. My best to you, Belle in North Las Vegas, Nv, ----- Original Message ----- From: "Smoochie Newton" <smoochieangelpie@gmail.com> To: <southern-chat@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 25, 2008 1:39 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTHERN-CHAT] Cold Winter > golly STella...... long long long time ago I had a great house too......had > a fireplace that I just loved....and a bay window that had doors opening out > to the yard.
