Finally the last blog about canning/jarring chili...I'm sure none of you are happier than Herb is that this latest marathon (that I said wouldn't be a marathon), is over...As I write he is getting the last jars, boxed up to carry to the cellar shelves...I haven't counted how many trips he has made, but we did over 40 quarts and 30 pints of chili, plus 6 pints of ground beef, (left over from chili recipe)...That is many trips up and down the cellar stairs, plus the canner and special pans that also make that up and down trip...I couldn't do it without him!..Everything is now back in its place.
The last of the pints.
Now it is two days before Thanksgiving, but our celebration will be small...Our kids will spend TG at their own homes in Portland and Bend, with a side trip to Corvallis, where Cienna is still at her apartment, finishing up her last year of college...It seems the smartest thing to do in the COVID pandemic.
As we have on many Thanksgivings', Pam will join us for the day and we will eat, drink and play cards, while we reminisce about the last 30 years that we have taken trips, got our winters wood, had picnics, celebrated birthdays, spent quiet days and crazy days together...I will try to keep dinner fairly simple, cranberry sauce is made, thinking roasted turkey breast with Bobi's artichoke/sausage dressing for dinner and pumpkin pie for dessert...That's the plan...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
