Why I Love Texas...

Because while some folks are dealing with snow and ice...It's a beautiful 74 degrees here. Sun out, windows open, barefootin'. Oh yeah!

We had an adventurous weekend at the rodeo. If you have ever spent all day in any sort of large area with big crowds while trying to keeping an eye on three rambunctious boys...you know what I mean by adventurous!

It is a wonderful afternoon in that I have a beautiful pot of Tortilla Soup on low on the stove and my new book on preserving food just arrived in the mail...So something to read! I bought my pressure cooker yesterday, and I wanted to say "Thank you" for all the encouragement I have received from my blog ring sisters! I'll post pictures soon of my first attempts!

Anybody reading anything inspiring and exciting for you? Ready to try your hand at a new craft?

  1. Marie, did you buy a pressure cooker or a pressure canner? They're both awesome, I'm just wondering if you plan on cooking or canning with it.

  2. Andrea, I got the Presto 16 quart pressure canner/cooker. Best of both worlds! Next post...pictures!

  3. Our pressure cooker is our new best friend, pretty much halves the cooking time, though I think my hubby loves it even more than me. Did a corned beef the other day and it was gorgeous, you will love it. Did you get a stove top one?

  4. Just a PS from me, had to google your temperature to find out how nice it was there, we work in celsius here so had to do a conversion :) It is a good temperature :D

  5. Yes, a stovetop it is! Laughing about that temperature thing! I am truly excited about using my cooker/canner. Thinking about trying my hand at apple butter first!
