Freeze Dried-Into Jars

   Good morning Monday,

Were you able to see those planets in the sky last night?  We were cloudy most of the day with rain late afternoon into the night-sorta like a spring rain-nice. So could not see the planets maybe tonight 

 Before winter I had found a company here  that sold freeze dried fruits and veggies-I shared this I think at the time.

 I had not realized that the bananas I purchased were not freeze dried but fried with sugar-not what I wanted or could eat-my mistake for not reading the description but the company did give me credit on next purchase.  I mostly bought veggies, but I did buy freeze dried sliced strawberries-I finally opened  the #10 can last night and Wow these are fabulous!

  So to keep them fresher and air tight I grabbed that Mason Jar vacuum sealer and I was able to fill 7 pints. There were just a few crumbled ones on the bottom of the can, so I added those to my oatmeal mix-I make myself a bowl of oatmeal every morning-changing it up a bit with different add ins. 

    (sorry for the poor quality of the photos-I have been looking into a better quality digital camera, but those are just too expensive now)

Half way through sealing the jars I was having issues-thought perhaps that some of these are vintage jars-but no this just needed charging-first time it has needed a charge since I bought it, so that lasts a long time

   Yesterday I did start slow stitches on the 3rd bag-liking it so far I have a huge collection of embroidery threads to choose from-I am sewing with 3 strands. Some were gifted to me-hand dyed varigated-those are really nice, my own huge collection from two Grandma's, my Mom, and my late sister's threads-So I have a huge variety of colors to choose from.

  I think I mentioned this but our family doctor got moved to another clinic-which is closer to the hospital-I liked him for the most part. The new doctor I was waiting to be warmer for the visit. I have never had a doctor change where the clinic refuses to call in to renew a medication-doctor changes in the past in this same clinic never did that.  So what a hassle this has been for us-needed to call the original doctor to call in the medicine for Larry this morning. For some reason my online pharmacy never notified me there were no more renewals.   I moved up my appointment to next week, since Larry is getting worse-which we knew was coming-we can leave right after his visit which is early April.

   We are enjoying Spring here already with a few days being warmer, nights cool, some sunny days and lately rainy days-no complaints here -smiles

 Enjoy your new week!
