Members Jesuspaiditall4all Posted July 11, 2005 Members Share Posted July 11, 2005 I enjoy homemade tomato sauce, however, I will admit that I buy most of it.... :oops: It's hard to beat a good sale and I generally buy extra at those times. Preserve your own frozen vegetables or buy frozen vegetables from the grocery store?

Members pneu-engine Posted July 11, 2005 Members Share Posted July 11, 2005 [quote] Preserve your own frozen vegetables or buy frozen vegetables from the grocery store? [/quote] We used to freeze and can everything: pickles and relishes, veggies and fruits from our own trees and garden, but not anymore. It isn't that we don't want to, we just don't a have big family anymore. Do you:::: Eat fresh fruits and veggies in-season in your area, and canned or frozen in the off-seasons. --or-- Get whatever you want as the long as the stores have it, no matter what it is.

Members Jesuspaiditall4all Posted July 11, 2005 Members Share Posted July 11, 2005 Eat fresh fruits and veggies in-season in your area, and canned or frozen in the off-seasons. Now, I must admit I do not eat as many fruits and veggies as I should...... :oops: ...I know, I need to change that bad habit. Why does chocolate taste so much better than any fruit or vegetable.... :shock: Even though our diet should consist of both, do you prefer fruits or vegetables?

Members Jesuspaiditall4all Posted July 15, 2005 Members Share Posted July 15, 2005 Raisins (Dried grapes).....please....... :D Add raisins to your home baked muffins or chocolate chips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted July 15, 2005 Members Share Posted July 15, 2005 My daughter uses chocolate chips in her [b]Pumpkin Muffins [/b]and her [b]Black Bottom Cupcakes.[/b] Those Black Bottom Cupcakes are sooooooooooooooo good. They are essentially a Black Forest chocolate cupcake with cheese-cake centers, wherein the cheese-cake filling is loaded with those little mini-choco chips. That is a recipe worthy of note. I'll just have to post it. [i] ((((Do you notice how I always gravitate to topics about chocolate desserts. :lol: :lol: :lol: ))))[/i] My wife uses raisins in her bran muffins. Do you prefer:::::::: A coffee cake with cinnamon and brown sugar swirled through it, --or-- A peach (or pineapple) upside down cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jesuspaiditall4all Posted July 15, 2005 Members Share Posted July 15, 2005 A coffee cake with cinnamon and brown sugar swirled through it.......Yummy!!! :mrgreen: Rake the grass clippings off your lawn with a rake or sweep the lawn using a pull behind your lawn tractor, lawn sweeper? [i]Can you tell that I am on my way out the door to sweep our lawn with our pull behind lawn sweeper... :wink: [/i] [i]BTW Jim, I like how your thoughts turn to chocolate....I am right there with ya!! :lol: [/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted July 16, 2005 Members Share Posted July 16, 2005 I much prefer the pull behind sweeper, because it saves a lot of time.[i] (my front lawn is huge) [/i] However raking the grass clippings into windrows, then gathering them up into my humongous trailer is actually therapeutic. It's good exercise, too. :D :mrgreen: Mowing your lawn on your rider:::: Do you enjoy it??? --or-- would you much rather be doing something else???

Members Jesuspaiditall4all Posted July 16, 2005 Members Share Posted July 16, 2005 I don't mind mowing the lawn using our garden tractor.....it is much faster than using a push mower on our acre size yard. I enjoy this time spent outdoors!! Do you prefer to work indoors doing housework or work outdoors doing yardwork? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted July 16, 2005 Members Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hehehhehehe, My wife and I both much prefer outside yardwork to inside cleaning. :D :D :mrgreen: :mrgreen: For your yardwork, do you prefer:::: Springtime prep work for the growing season? I.E. gathering out the dead branches that have fallen on the yard, pruning the flowering bushes, working the soil for annuals to be planted, covering the ground around the perennials with mulch, etc. --OR-- Fall cleanup work to prepare for wintertime. My own preference is prepping the engines and other machines for spring and summer usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
