Preparing for winter!

 Now is the time to get your food situation in shape for the winter months.  Farmer's markets are hopping and the fresh produce is wonderful.  It is so much fresher and cheaper that that found in supermarkets.  Ava and I went to the Corn Crib outside of Shawneetown and stocked up on sweet corn, tomatoes, Bell Peppers, turnips, okra, Jalapenos, Green beans and onions.  I also got a huge watermelon.  I was hankering some watermelon rind pickles.  I spent the afternoon blanching the okra and cutting the bell peppers and freezing them.  I froze the jalapenos whole.  I also stirred and fed my Herman sourdough starter.  Tomorrow I'll tackle canning.
