The weather is very, very windy today! It's warm, though, but things are moving around on the porch so much it's scaring my little dog! I just hope the canopy doesn't get blown away! There's been several strong gusts that could have taken it down.
The weather has caused the hens to lay again and I'm getting 4-6 eggs daily. I have an abundance of eggs and I saw a recipe for Gruyere puffs. I just don't know where in this town to find Gruyere cheese! I thought Aldi would have it since they carry a variety of cheeses during the holidays, but they don't have it. If we had a Publix, they probably have it. Guess I'll have to drive 50 minutes or so just to get some cheese! Well, I don't HAVE to make the puffs, I'd just like to. If I go to Birmingham, I don't usually go for just one item. I'll have a list. I'm really wanting to get more into herbal and aromatherapy type cures for common ailments, so the essential oils I can't find locally will have to be purchased at Whole Foods. I really like that store! I do have to budget when I go there because I could spend a ton! We budget anyway, so no worries.
I'm learning so much from reading ya'lls blogs and other's on the web! I appreciate you taking the time to post, and to read mine as well! I also appreciate the nice comments you leave! Have a great weekend! Blessings from Bama!

| These are cooking down and you should smell the aroma! |
Oh yum, I bet it does smell good at your house right now!
ReplyDeleteI thought so!
DeleteYou know, I have a peeler like that but I just never use it (found it in the laundry room closet just today). It just goes so slow for me and... I don't know how to use it well apparently. I am just faster with my knife I guess. I like to boil the apple slices and then drain them and run them through my presto strainer :)
ReplyDeleteI like using my knife too, but the peeler works real fast for me!
DeleteYou have been busy getting your applesauce done! We did ours awhile back. My husband uses the apple peeler like yours and I peel. We like our lumpy and thick so don't put it through a strainer. We do ours in pint jars. Love it and you may find half pints are not large enough! Nancy
ReplyDeleteYou might be right, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI put up 15 quarts of apple sauce today and am I tired! But all the work is worth it when you see those pretty jars on the counter!
ReplyDeleteMy food processor died so I purchased a food mill which doesn't require electricity. I really liked it better for making apple sauce.
I put some cinnamon in this batch and it really made the house smell nice.
What is the wooden box that your peeler is sitting on? Did it come that way?

Hi Lisa! Wow! That's fantastic! Fifteen quarts! That's a lot of apples! A food mill would be nice to have. I may get one some day.
DeleteThe wooden box came with the peeler that I purchased at a yard sale. You can purchase them through Pampered Chef. Thanks for stopping by!
Yum! This is something I'd love to do. Thanks so much for visiting me today. I also love your fall wreath in the next post :)
