First October Weekend

This is the first weekend of October, and it would be hotter than Cupcake sitting bareback on a potbelly stove. We didn't let a little heat slow us down any. JB went deer hunting at 0-dark-30 this morning, Kattie Grace was at a lil friends house and Pops was under the weather, so we decided to make a trial run of something different for breakfast today. Buckwheat cakes.

If you've never had them, go out of your way to try them.
Cupcake has had them in the past. She said her father made them one time, she referred to them as "sand paper cakes" apparently they were a little gritty. We decided long ago I'm a far better cook than her family, so she agreed to try them today.
This brand called for an overnight rest of the batter, mixed with whole wheat flour and yeast. I followed the directions and let it rest overnight in the fridge. This morning I mixed the ramaining ingredients and dropped em on the griddle. Cupcake went back for seconds, so I think I dodged the sand paper tag today.

Topped off with butter and backstrap molasses and a cup of Deathwish Coffee, now that will get ya motivated to do some ant family work right there. It will make a return trip to Saturday breakfast.
After we cleaned up the dishes, it was time for another batch of jalapeno jelly. We got our last picking of peppers from the garden, and decided to go with pint jars today instead of jelly jars, because word is out and a jelly jar just wont do when we open a jar up. We got a lucky thirteen pints from our cooking today.

Cupcake put on a roast for dinner, and we used fresh potatoes, fresh carrots, fresh onions from the garden.

After we put dinner on to slow cook, we changed the oil in Cupcake's truck. She was told early on that the oil filter was too hard to get at to change it yourself. Plus Sears at the NRV Mall only charged twenty bucks to change the oil, you cant buy oil for the truck that cheap, so until Sears went out of business we took the trucks there.
I was under her truck earlier this summer and found the oil filter is right behind the front bumper, you can reach it while standing in front of the truck. I guess she was told wrong? It wasn't pretty but we got the oil changed, filter changed, tires rotated and inflated to proper pressure. She is ready for winter.
Dinner is ready, so we sign off. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
