Yesterday's festivities were chill for us. We did Yesterday's festivities were chill for us.  We didn't go to any parties. We didn't go watch fireworks. In fact, we just stayed home and enjoyed each other.  ...and by that, I mean Mac was glued to his VR all day, and Maggi took a 4-hour nap. lol  All kidding aside, though... we DID have some delicious food!  I smoked 2 racks of ribs from the pig Mac raised during school. Jessie came in strong with broccoli salad, jalapeno poppers, and blueberry cheesecake ice cream topped with whipped cream and strawberries for a festive red, white, and blue bowl of deliciousness!  Hope y'all had a great 4th, too!  #4thofjuly #smokedribs #homemadeicecream

Frozen blueberries canned today. "But Patrick, wh Frozen blueberries canned today.  "But Patrick, why would you can blueberries that are frozen?"  Simple: Shelf stability.  You see, part of what we're doing around here is preparing. "Prepping." If a major long-term blackout hit us, we'd lose 90% of what we have in the freezer. Canning these blueberries makes them shelf-stable and require no power to keep them good long-term.  Always think long-term when you're preserving food. The more prepared you are for major catastrophe, the better off you and your family will be if something ever does happen.  #homesteading #foodpreservation #prepared #canning
