Home from our short trip to southern Illinois - it was a fun trip with two women I grew up with (one lived a mile east, the other a mile south), but it is also good to be back home - where I don't have to be tense about having minimal preps on hand
On vacation this week, and have knee/meniscus surgery planned for Thursday so will spend the next few days getting things ready for that - finishing up the school supply shopping, picking up some fresh stuff at the store, and prepping and freezing a few oven ready meals. Will also need to check the ads to make sure I don't miss any good bargains. One of the ladies on the trip is a dept manager at WM and says they have been running out of stock on canned veggies for several weeks now; she was putting it down to a new manager in that dept not ordering correctly, but after a discussion is now going to check in with that person to see if it's a supply issue instead.
If it cools down this week, I will probably pick up a few bags of mixed frozen veggies to run through the dehydrator; that's something I can do with minimal standing time. I can't recall at this time how many 12-16 oz bags of dehydrated veggies I could vacuum seal in a quart jar; reckon I'll pick up a half dozen and start from there...
Off to curl up in my recliner for a nap; just don't sleep well in a strange place - especially one with raccoons knocking on the door at 3 am to ask why you didn't put your trash out (Well, that's what it sounded like they were doing!!)
Take care all; have a safe and happy week!
