Soon those little Chaps will be toddleing around. My Granny had drying screens on a rope and wheely thingamabob that she could lower down from the ceiling and load up with beans or apples, then she'd pull the rope on the wheely thingamabob and pull those drying screens right back up close to the ceiling and up out of the way from curious little fingers and the occasional renegade cat that might run in when the door was open. Lol. It really worked well and I still think it's ingenious!

[@keelaeldridge8487]

I canned apple pie filling today, still have apples so I guess I will can more in a day or two! I got a 15 lb box of organic apples for $6 . Yes ,they were bad spots, misshaped, and some bug damage but for $6 I could not pass by these at our local flea market last Saturday.

Italian ladies' dry pasta on a sheet on a bed in a back room. You could do that with beans. Trays are nice, be great for herb drying. I love pumpkin pie. Like it for breakfast. Shelling peas or doing dishes is called physical meditation. As long as you don't let your mind wander or worry. Hi from rainy Oregon.

More greetings from rainy windy Oregon.That pie looks delicious. I read somewhere that the commercial canned pumpkin pie filling is not pumpkin, but it is actually Butternut squash! Surprise! I have a can of Butternut Squash here from the Oregon Food Bank which is just like pumpkin for baking pies. Thank you for reminding me that it is now Fall.😊

[@TexasBlueBonnet61]

My granny would make squash pies with baked acorn squash, and/or butternut squash, Making her filling was one of the few things I ever saw her use an electric blender for. We had old Osterizer blender, that was older than I was, and she just added everything to the blender jar and gave it a whirl. Then poured the blended filling into pie shells. I still love a good squash pie, some 5 decades later. I also love it baked without a crust, as a custard.

[@melissabaumgardner318]

Watching your video it’s a cold rainy day in Oregon but was 91 yesterday. I’m ready for fall weather.

Soon those little Chaps will be toddling around.❤ My Great Granny had a drying screen rack that was suspended from the ceiling by a rope rigged to a wheely thingamabob. She'd lower the drying screens down with the wheely thingee, load them up with beans or apples, then she'd pull the rope and the wheely thingee would raise the loaded screens back up close to the ceiling, away from curious little fingers that want to put beans up their noses or in their ears and away from the occassional renegade cat that might run in when the door was open. Lol. It worked well and i still think it is an ingenious setup for drying.

[@scalefingerz]

I remember at my Grandmaw's up on the mountain in North Wilkesboro when I was a kid there was always a picking party at harvest lol. The whole family would shuck corn and pick green beans. Bushels of them! Most all of green beans we would string and snap. Grandmaw would can all of those but a portion she would would string on sewing thread and hang on the wall next to the wood stove. I so miss those days!

as a kid I remember stringing 2 ft long columns of beans in their pods and my aunt hung them around the house and by spring or summer they were dry and she'd take down a string or so to make beans when she needed them. Looked like decorations hanging there. Like when you see garlic woven and hanging.

[@judyl.7234]

I've seen green beens strung and dried like that. They called them "leather britches." Then when they were ready to eat them, they had to soak them. My family never did that. I would love to try them out to see if they taste different than canned or frozen.
