I am in awe of your food preservation. Absolutely amazing! I love water bath canning, I just need to learn pressure canning. One of these days I will! Live the video, so inspiring!
@diaryofahomemaker 4 сағат бұрын
Thank you so much! I think pressure canning is almost easier than waterbath canning. Just gotta watch things very closely so it's done properly. But it is so nice having shelf stable food! Definitely worth it.

Thank you for sharing, I am beginning stages so this is so helpful. I was always curious when you said storage upstairs. I so want a freeze dryer! Is yours in your kitchen?
@diaryofahomemaker 12 сағат бұрын
I'm glad it was helpful! Yes, we have limited space so ours is in our kitchen. We put the drain below the counter in the cabinet and run the drain tube through a hole in the side of the cabinet so it's all concealed. We love our freeze dryer, can't recommend it enough!

We are working toward having a backup pantry; our grocery stores constantly run out of things. Placed a grocery delivery order yesterday, and they were out of eggs... (There goes the pea salad!) Love how you've set up your supplies--well-stocked, organized and so pretty!🖤

I’m curious about how you’re dealing your jars. Are you using O2 absorbers? Are you vac sealing the lids? I have had some things go soft in my jars and I’m trying to figure out why. I am getting some great ideas from you for using things. Thanks!!
@Mel-vu9ss 12 сағат бұрын
Edited to ask if your blanching your green beans first? Also, are you rehydrating your onions, say if you’re wanting to sauté them? Thanks again.
@diaryofahomemaker 12 сағат бұрын
I have not been using o2 observers. I have them, but I am a little intimidated by them. I had vacuum sealed some jars but I had issues with the lids coming undone. I now just put a lid on and really crank down the ring so it is very tight. I am checking jars all the time to make sure things are still tight and I can hear the "crunch" of the things inside to make sure nothing has gone soft. We always put extra dry time on our freeze dryer, we want to make absolute sure things are dry. I hope this helps!

One more quick question. Are you blanching your freezer FF’s?
@diaryofahomemaker 12 сағат бұрын
I am not blanching my green beans. I think you certainly could, we chose to take that shortcut because we only had one jar. Perhaps I will try blanching them next year. I do dehydrate for some things, it really depends on the dish. For soups and chili I just toss them in there. If I am making ham and beans, for example, I will make sure I add enough water so the onions do rehydrate in there and aren't taking away from the liquid. needed to properly cook the beans. For something like fajitas, yes, I am rehydrating.

Everything is lovely. ❤ My tree is one of the old aluminum trees from the 50s. I knew when I saw it in the thrift store many years ago that I had to have it because it's just like the one my grandparents had when I was a little girl. I actually have their old brass color wheel and I use it every year. To me it's wonderful memories and pure magic. I love it more than I can say. Wonderful video. I really enjoyed watching. 🙂

Everything is beautiful. And everything has and will keep standing the test of time. Which is why I love slowly curating my home. Going thrifting, yard sales…to find treasures. Nothing is a trend or something trendy for one season or one year that you pay full price for new that you end up tossing. You love these pieces forever. And one day when I’m of old age and I need to start parting with things, I can pass them to my niece or my close friends children or maybe set up a vintage booth in my home shop to resell. I love other people getting second hand so that item just keeps getting a life and not the landfill. My Mama has slowly done this with pieces of her own… she has given them to me. 🥹 My Mama instilled thrifting and second hand to me as a kid and I still do it at 44. 🩷
@diaryofahomemaker 4 күн бұрын
I completely agree!! Things become treasures, heirlooms being passed down. Keeping things out of landfills and in homes is the biggest benefit! Plenty of secondhand treasures to go around for all. My best friends mom took me to my first yard sale. I got a little red purse, I still have it! Maybe one day I will share that on here. She passed away a few years ago and I always think of her when I see it.

Hi Brianne! I love brass too. I've started buying & collecting brass pieces before i really started collecting my antiques & older pieces. Oh goodness me too! I've been looking for a pair of old white ice skates for 2yrs! I haven't even seen black ones.🥴 I also want an old wooden sleigh to hang them on! Look I'm A digger too!😄 Oh Wow.. love the Burberry scarf, what a deal! I wear Burberry perfume..mmmm!! I've always liked the signature Buberry plaid. A lamp topper is called a finial. The quilted ornaments are really cute! I love a toile pattern. The brass pillar candle holder is very pretty. Oh my.. love the "hobnail" milkglass lamp! I collect old lamps. Both my bedroom Lamps are the hobnail milkglass. One is made like that one but has a brass base..I use an amber bulb in that one & is gorgeous! And my bedside lamp, which was Webby i started collecting lamps, is a brass tea kettle with the big round hobnail globe & the clear hurricane shade, like on this one, covers the bulb & comes up through the globe. Its really old & i love it so much! But I also have a several other milk glass lamp bases & a small collection of milkglass, mostly hobnail. Oh Wow.. love Santa mugs! I really want to find some vintage ones, but never see them! Steal of A deal on those! I love the mini's, they're precious. The mini's are very popular. Same here, i google Lens everything!😄 Ohh to be 35 again, that was many moons ago for me.🫤 But thank God I'm still here! I used to buy the fat glass ornaments each year with the year on them. Starting collecting them in 1986 the year my daughter, the oldest of my 2 kids, was born. Probably bought them for at least 10yrs. But no longer have them. I love anything that has been handstitched.. cross stitch or embroidery! I also used to buy several of the metal ornaments every year.. they aren't real brass & they do eventually turn or dull over time. They came from Walmart at the jewelry counter & they would engrave them for you if there was space, not all had the space. Lol thats so funny! I graduated in 1982 & I'm a grandma😄 The red blanket/quilt is beautiful! Another steal! That's all i use on my beds are the cotton quilts, and have been for years! I love them!❤ You had a very nice haul, lots of pretty things!😊 Thanks for sharing & excited for the decorating videos! Have A blessed & Happy Thanksgiving!🙏🏻🦃

Do you freeze your milk? If so does it thaw ok? I worry about it separating.
@diaryofahomemaker 11 күн бұрын
I do and it seems that sometimes it separates more than others. Perhaps due to the fat content in that particular batch? I notice the separating more with the half and half, but because I add it to coffee it doesn't really matter. It all seems to melt together in the coffee. Now butter, if you aren't freezing butter, I highly recommend it! Butter freezes so incredible well, you'd never know it has been frozen!
