Atman

My grandkitty, Atman, went to heaven this week. He was an awesome kitten who came into my daughters life at just the right time. I'm going to miss him so much. 






Canning beef & chili!



My new choice of footwear for extra style while canning. I chose this after my doctor said I needed to relax more and stay off my foot. Funny how the mention of surgery and relearning how to walk changes how we do things! 💖 


Andy and I canned 8 pounds of round steak using several seasoning blends and a 
little kitchen bouquet for flavor. One jar broke while under pressure, but the rest seems great! This was right after pulling from the canner. 

This is the next morning, after it's cooled. Small amount of fat in each, but it looks great! I put a slice of onion in each jar. I think we paid $2.48 a pound for this round roast. This is 15 pint jars. The other half is preparing 
to be jerky! 

When I discovered I had a lot of extra chunks of beef, and had just made Pinto Beans for chili for dinner I added it to the mix and rather than freeze my extra beans I made this! It's Beef chuck roast cut into pieces, a can of corn, 2 cans diced tomato, chili seasoning, onions chopped, garlic chopped, red Bell pepper chopped, enough water to make it more soup like.
