Did my green beans and got 8 pints off first picking. Finally got a pressure cann er that works on wife’s induction. Only bought a 10qt. it hold 4 pints at time. Has a nice heavy stainless steel bottom. A must for induction. Wife wanted the smaller size for other things to just cook . It’s lite enough for her to handle. I don’t pressure to many things anyway.

Winter onions coming in ready to eat. Then tomatoes are already making and blooming. Comparing to last year we got washed out and flooded garden killing over halve of it. Going to have some nice extra’s for meals this year looks like. Tx heat is starting to get here, be in the high 80’s and 90 from now on. The small okra plants will grow fast now. Hope ya’ll have good luck to.

Update. Got to full 1 gal. zip locks of green been yesterday, plus some extra’s
This last couple days were in record heat, 95ish and looks like more to come.
YUM lol

I just turned 70 years old and let me say the learning never ends. There’s some great cooks on this site. I pick up something all the time to try.

Just made signature smoked kielbasa using the recipe on package,except added 1/2 cup jalapenos chopped in a 10# batch of 70/30 deer and pork fat.
Yum, taste great had a good amount of spice even without the peppers. Thinking next time to add a whole cup of peppers,we like it spicy. Kinda like summer sausage. Smoked in the vertical smoker as instructed.
Will definitely buy again.!!

Boy season slipped upon me fast, wasn’t quite ready for it. I kept them in the frig. 4 or5 days vacuumed sealed so I ended up with a few wrinkles in them but they will be just as tasty. I’m sure they will go with something I’ve yet to smoke.
They got a little cayenne,mustard seed,dill,salt,and garlic clove in them.

Now that the temperatures have cooled here in SE TX. I decided to make some hatch brats. I had bought some Boston butts while they were on sale for 99cts a lb. Impossible to find that price today. Mixed my pork and 3 #s pork fat with some late last Decembers deer back strap 4 lbs.
Got my wife to peel and blend about 15 large fresh frozen hatch chilies to add, along with about 3 # high temp cheddar cheese. I mixed the 25 #s by hand. Stuffed in pig intestines mostly and a few lbs. bulk. They came out with a good kick but not overpowering. Fantastic on the grill.!!! 

Just love those smoked Briskets and a little dead bird to have while waiting LOL

Don’t miss that stuff at all, picked spinach and lettuce for a nice salad out of garden yesterday.
Enjoy! lol

Just needs a holster for my pistol. lol

I’ll be in the next room you look dangerous

Put me down for a 2xL OH Yeah

Yeah I’m just north Houston 75 miles, that place is a zoo. We been having record heat last 10 days about mid 90’s every day should be high 80’s. So lettuce has come and gone, spinach about to be gone. Put up 5 qts cucumbers yesterday. Need a break to go boating and fishing, lol

Nice!!! Yeah I’m glad mine has the Reverse.

Last time I made it to Great Falls the local museum had a Charles Russel painting exhibit there on loan, between the mountains and that show it was a great time.

cdavis Now thats a large garden wow. Lots of work. Good eating

MY lettuce is played out, spinach still making, just to hot now. Nice winters here but we pay for it in Hot summers.

Good things to look forward to!!!
