Wordless Wednesday........NOT HARDLY!!!!

OK I find it very hard to be wordless. Wordless just does not work for me. I am not a big "talker"..but I always have an opinion and something to say about any given subject that I know just a little about...Sometimes that is a quality that I am not so proud of. But I am a work in progress....

Speaking of a subject that I know just a little about how about. Lets talk food preservation!!! Yeah!!! Can't wait can you? Well I won't keep you waiting. My life has been consumed. I have been spending lots of time in my kitchen. I have dirtied up every apron I own. I have applied burn jell to various places of my body. I have mopped up sticky off the floor more times then I would like. I sent DH on a mission for a new water bath canner, jar lids, rings and quart mouth jars. I am sure he impressed all the men at the local hardware store.... I own stock in ziplock bags. I am sure that I have single handily went through nearly a load of propane...my stove just cools off occasionally. We may have to burn the furniture to get through the winter....but that is OK. We will not go hungry. We will dine on green chili's and apples. Green chilies....Apples......I see them in my dreams.




Oh Baby smell the love..fresh roasted!



Peeled and ready.

Ready for what you may ask. Do you want to make a meal that will cause your husband to rise up and call you blessed in the door of the local feed store? Well this will do it. If he is a Chili Relleno fan. And if he isn't and he is more into tofu and bean sprouts..well I have no advice for you other then..bless your heart.



Peel your chili, make a small slit in the chili and poke thin slivers of cheese into the split chili. Bring to a sort of close, as best you can. Then dredge...is that the proper term? Heck..roll the chili in flour that you have salted and peppered. Then dip and roll around in the beaten egg that I have not told you to beat..but beat some eggs how many depends on how many chili's you are making. Then heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet..and as I have said time and time again if you don't have one then shame on you. Place the drippy messy chili in the oil and let get good and brown on both sides. Place on paper towels to drain off the grease and serve with a fried egg on top if desired. That is the way we like them anyway. And fresh homemade tortillas.






No my tortillas are not round...do not judge.






Tomorrow, or maybe the next day, or the next. Or could be next week, I will reveal the secrets of successful apple preservation, or at least I hope it is successful...I am not done with it all yet.

God Bless and Happy Trails
