So I take you two are not fans? :blink:
Though I did figure out a way to cook without gagging.  I dumped the frozen mass, notice I didn't buy fresh, those were only quadruple the price, in the pickling liquid and boiled, the vinegar cut the nasty sulfurous fumes by almost all of them.

There's a company that makes these under the name of 'Atomic Frog Balls'... gourmet food lol

Oh I like Brussels Sprouts, properly cooked. The trouble is nobody can stay in the house with me and hour or so after consuming them.  :mad:

Oh and.... I'm making English orange marmalade tonight.  A recipe from a 1913 publication in the US.  It's cooking away as I type and I'm already sick of the orange smell  :secret:

TANK!!...... dude..... never again..... never ever again...... will I make English Orange Marmalade.   :secret:

I finally got it to gel stage, only took 5 hours, processing now, 12 half pints, 5 pints.  I have another bag of oranges too.  Thinking those will end up as orange preserves, requires no orange peel, hence much less if not no orange oil.

Now of course like the idiot that I am.... I'll probably forget how nauseous I am at the moment and do it again next season.......


Gah..... Finished it:

Totals in case anyone is interested:
243 jars, of which there are 60 half pints, 148 pints, and 35 quarts


Now the long wait until the peanuts come in, I have 25 pounds of green runners reserved for me when the fields are pulled in a month or so.  Hoping to net about 50 jars of boiled peanuts

So now I'm contemplating chinese condements........ duck sauce, plum sauce, hoisen sauce.......  Considering out here in BFE we can't get anything other than plain old kikoman soy sauce and chili oil.  Have to drive down to Austin for anything else or order it online.

Have the duck sauce started, have enough prunes for a small batch of plum sauce I think, just have to find my recipe....

Yes I'm nuts.  But at least I'll be eating this winter.  Here's yesterday's small project:

Only read the first five posts or so.

I'm a bit jealous.  I planted my garden right before the flood hit Tennessee.  Well, the rain that flooded Tenn came from my backyard and everything drowned except my corn, which then dried up.  I need to irrigate pretty badly.

Our garden dried out about 6 week ago when we maintained 100+ without rain for longer than a week.  :verysad:  
I have however, started the fall planting of zucchini and cucumbers, crossing fingers on those cause I'm OUT of all my zucchini from last year!  Hoping the tomatoes come back and do what they did last year.... fruit until December 18th.

If it won't grow in the snow, I can't plant it now.  My backyard oughtta be pretty nutrient-rich next year, though.

Eh, depends on the area of KY but I'm pretty sure you can get in a crop of beets, radish, turnips, carrots, cabbage and lettuce before the first hard freeze  ;)   Then again, I'm thinking way too hard at the moment about what else I need to plant this year and when.....

I just have to make myself go do it, but it's still so damn hot out here!  Maybe I can do it in the rain from the tropical depression headed this way tomorrow.... hmmmmm.....

It's too dry right now.  The ground is clay and it's like ceramic right now.  Aside form that I have no exterior water.  The lack of water and my previous comment about fertilization are both related to: [link removed by PoopShoot]
