I’m such an awful wimp when it comes to heat and humidity. I was planning to inspect both hives today since I would be replacing the empty feeding buckets with full ones. I put additional supers on both hives but I thought I should see how much comb had been drawn in them. […]
Tuna, lovely tuna!
Wow! While skulking through Harris Teeter supermarket I noticed that they had beautiful tuna “medallions” for only $6.99 per pound. The chunks are not a problem for me since if it were steaks I’d need to cut them up anyway. The main thing is the quality and the price. It’s time replenish my supply of […]

Then there are the soups that come out in large quantities so some goes into the freezer for later. I do use zipper-lock freezer bags and store things flat, try to label everything, but it still […]
