Canning Chicken

These may not be the best pictures! The local supermarket had their boneless chicken breasts on sale over the weekend so I decided to stock up. My Gary doesn't eat much red meat so chicken and turkey are our staples. I canned chicken last year after my sister-in-law told me she had done some. The canned chicken is really good plus it is super easy to do. I just pack the cut up chicken into pint jars, add about 1 tsp. salt and process in my pressure cooker. The chicken tastes excellent and it is so nice to have on the shelf when I'm looking for a quick solution for dinner. I use it in enchiladas, quesadilla, chicken salad, and the list goes on. I have added it to soups too.

Sunrise, Sunset, swiftly flow the years

That song from Fiddler on the Roof has certainly been going through my mind lately. I wish I could go back in time and enjoy her being little again.
What a beautiful baby, and what a beautiful daughter I have been blessed with.

So it's now just a couple of days until my daughters wedding. I think I have everything under control - I THINK!! Tomorrow will be the real stress day as I make my final assessment of all that needs to be taken to the church. I am so very glad that I'm not doing this alone. I have wonderful sisters and sister-in-laws along with my mother who will be there to help me decorate and hold my hand.





Anybody got an extra valium?

My sisters and sister-in-laws with grandma Matthews put a bridal shower together for Karen. It was so much fun. Karen had a great time as did we all and received a lot of wonderful gifts.




The food was great, fresh fruit and muffins.

And of course no show would be complete without the divine Ms. Em.
This girl has more singing and dancing personality than anyone I have ever
known!

You go girl, rock-it!!
Thanks to everyone for making this a great day.
