Jelly and Sketti

It was all cooking all the time this week. We have the tomatoes coming in all at once and the jalapeno peppers are starting to come in. We started the week with jalapeno jelly, because it changed Cupcake's life.

We had to put the jelly in pint jars, because there seems to be a shortage of canning lids these days. I guess people are canning toilet paper and lysol?
Anywho, next we canned up almost five gallons of sketti sauce over the whole week.

We did have some fresh collards for dinner one night.

And Lawman fixed our version of Chic-Fil-A chicken biscuits for breakfast one morning, because he has mad free time like that.

After "The Boy" took his batch of choco chip cookies with him fishing, Cupcake requested her own batch. Then the neighbor lady across the street requested a batch. Lawman was a cookie baking machine this week.

And speaking of mad free time, Lawman made another batch of doomsday rations while we were rained inside.

The one thing we did manage to do outside this week was stock the ponds with a few minnows. There is an old single lane wooden bridge near the house that spans a small creek. The creek was running very low last fall, it was only a few inches deep and had no minnows in it. Lawman drove over the creek early in the week and could see it was running full, and he could see minnows. He secured permission last year to trap minnows, so he dropped a couple traps in between flash floods. We caught maybe two or three dozen total over two days. We managed a few bluegill as well. It's all coming together down at the ponds.

We ended the week with chicken wings and a nap.
