Solar System Quilt

 

Starting another quilt

This quilt will be of the Solar System.  I plan to have if finished by Christmas for my Grandchild.   I will add pictures as I work on it.

My first potato crop

This is the first of my potato's.  As you can see I put a marble next to them so you can see the size.  My father told me it was time to dig them when you see them crown the earth.  The problem is I didn't continue to mound dirt around them every so often when they were growing.

Our Country

Our Country I tell my children was great.  Our men and women fought and  some died for our freedom  and pride.  Remember the price continues to be paid.  Don't let your generation be the one to loose our Nation please.  God bless America!

Flowers when I came home from the hospital.

 It was so good to come home from the hospital and see that there were still some flowers alive in the yard.    

                                                         

What to do with all those Peppers

I froze a lot of peppers this last year and have had fun finding how to prepare them for dinner.  Here is one way.

Grandma Diann's Chili

1 Lb beans ( black beans are best) cooked
1 Lb ground lean beef
2 large yellow onions
1 small red bell pepper
2 banana peppers
2 Jalapenos pepper
1 cayenne pepper
1 chili pepper
1 to 2 clove garlic
1 cup water
1 can diced tomatoes with onion, celery and green pepper
1 can tomato paste
2 can tomato sauce
1 Tbs ketchup
1 beef bouillon cube
2 to 3 Tbs flour
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp cumin
2 Tbs chili powder seasoning
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Cook beans and set aside.
Mince onions and peppers. 
In large iron skillet blend beef with onions and peppers and lightly brown.
Blend flour into beef mixture and cook for three minutes.
In one cup of hot water dissolve beef cube.

• In large pot add all ingredients and simmer for one hour, stirring every so often.

As a Grandmother

As a Grandmother I must say," Thank you God for my children and grandson."

O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Isaiah 25:1

How to stay warm

As long as you have electricity an electric blanket is wonderful.  Most of the time I don't run the heat I just stay under a blanket when at home.When you cant stay in bed put a space heater in the room you will be in.

Hot tea will warm you in and out.

Chili is one of my favorite foods for cold weather.  I add extra peppers and eat it with bread or rice.

I did leave out the oatmeal and grits for cold weather breakfast.
