Life keeps rolling

 Hubby's uncle and brother doing fine after heart issues.

Mother in Law has her congestive heart failure stablized and is doing fine. She went grocery shopping and was not worn out afterwards.

Nephew is NOT rejecting his lung transplants. He caught a super bug that Medical doesn't have a name for but it's going around and they are using high dosage of steroids to kick it out. He is home and doing okay.

Five yr old now has the same superbug,and is not responding to surgery. Keeps having seizures even under sediation. He is having spinal fluid leaking, his BP is through the room. Since they know he has infection in his blood, his mother can't even leave the room to see anyone or have Son2 (fiance)or his grandpartents come in to see him. Mother is now struggling herself. He was supposed to have surgery last night, didn't get a text or call of what time so probably after 11. It will take 10 days to find out if the surgery did any good. Prayers are just in God's hands and Lord please stop his suffering and hoping we don't lose her also as he's been her whole life for last 5 years as he is autistic. 

I canned 15 quarts of beef stew... I called it minced stew since the pieces are so small. I did NOT use gravy (not good for homecanning) but figured I could drain the beef broth off and make gravy then add back to the stew. 

Using the meatballs that was already in the freezers. I still have 6 meals of meatballs in freezer.

I canned 7 quarts of meatballs in beef broth

I canned 7 quarts of meatballs in tomato sauce

I canned 7 quarts of meatballs in thin cream of mushroom sauce

I canned 3 pints of "slidder" size hamburger patties in beef broth.

I was going to do white bean and poultry chili but decided to wait until after Thanksgiving and use part of the leftover turkey for that.

While digging out meatballs I found 3 small prime rib roasts. So instead of buying one for Christmas I am going to use them. Hubby asked how we had them, I ordered a larger roast last year because Son2 and his date was thinking of coming up. They decided at Thanksgiving to not come up. So I just cut the extra amount into sizes that would work for the two of us. Son1 should be up unless weather stops him and he can take leftovers home with him. Plus I can slice it up for Philly steak subs and pizza instead of ordering it or buying frozen kits. LOL

SO I will start on winter squash and pumpkins.

Since the light frost didn't damage the herbs in the garden nor the kale. I dehydrated more and need to put those in containers.

We had Philly steak subs for supper that I added mushrooms to. We have a little of the meat left and 2 sub buns so I will make Philly steak pizza subs for supper tonight with apple Waldorf salad on top of lettuce from the vegepod.

I know we will have red kuri soup and spaghetti squash this week. We usually eat what I am canning.Maybe stuffed acorn squash???

I am thankful to not being living in a country that the gangs run the country.

Prayers for peace

Blessed be
