    MIA, decompressing, doctors, canning...oh my

    Part of my health issues stems from a car accident when I was 19. They had to use the jaws of life to get me out of the car. I starred the window three times, bent the head rest fully back, and made a huge dent in the dashboard. The doctors thought I was lucky that I only sustained minor...

    A guy at my husband’s work offered to buy some jars. Lol Then someone else asked for my recipe. Not happening. My green chili stew and potato salad recipes are held tight.

    I just pressure canned the green chili’s. I’m not too comfortable with canning stews. Canning the green chili though will help in food prep. The NMSU has an extension on how to can hatch chili.

    My husband and I are still coming to terms with recent news about my health. We decided to have time just for us, and talk through things. We have a course of action and faith, and that is good for us. Also, since that time I’ve scheduled 4MRIs. I’ve also made appointments with cardiology...

    Not good...

    LOL I basically said the same thing to my husband. I said we’ll just install a straw too. I really didn’t think my body would take me learning pressure canning literal. Bwahaha

    I wish I had good news. I wish this would all go away. Basically, the doctor thinks my inter-cranial pressure is increasing. I’m scheduled for MRIs this coming week. I’m to follow up with neurosurgeon. I have to rest, relax as much as possible, and wait for results. I know with my illness I’m a...

    Cowboy Candy aka Candied Jalapeños

    My husband loves this stuff! However, I’m wondering if it can be canned? I would like to put up quite a few pints, so I don’t have to make it every other week. The guys at his work want me to start selling this to them. I want to ensure safety for everyone who eats it. Thanks for any info. Y’all...

    I’m a dork and a coward...

    Truth! I was so scared to drive that I didn’t get my license until I was 27. My husband was on R&R from Iraq when I got it.

    Scared....

    I’ve been sick for awhile. A few years ago I got sick and it continues to get worse. I know what can happen with this illness. Well, the past week I have gotten a lot sicker. I was trying to wait until November to go see my doctor due to health insurance changes. I am now at the point where I...

    Day to day happenings...archaeologists uncover hidden city in Kansas

    As a child my mom tried her best to keep my history, our family history, a secret. In some ways I know why, but it still hurts. It hurts a lot when I think of how much I missed out as a child. I’m still learning about my family history, and even my own culture. At one time I was ashamed to say...

    What's everybody doing today?

    Much worse. I am trying to get into the doctor. I’m so dizzy most of the time, can’t sleep due to nausea, and I’m having other issues. Thank you for asking. :)

    LOL No pot stirring from me. I honestly don’t understand the meaning of the quote. I’m Muscogee Creek, and I’m still learning about my culture. I believe the quote is based in Christianity though. I’m just confused, but honestly that’s nothing new. LOL

    How far back are you talking? In the late 1600s-1700s there were written records. Also, paleoanthropologists have filled in some holes. I’m Creek and have tried learning what I can about my tribe, and the indigenous populations.
