Another perfect fall day but I am inside. The kitchen is a 'beehive' of activity (pun intended)!
Ever since Sharon told me about feeding the honeybees nectar this time of year and after a very bad summer, I have been in a frenzy putting out containers.....4 up to this point. Now my back door has become a danger zone! I must move them away from the house tonight after the sun goes down. I also upped the nectar to a 1:1 ration. I hope I have understood the bee sites about that.
I also belatedly have started processing the Jonathon apples. I have them spread out in standard plant flats in my light stand on the back porch. I have done one and have three more to go. I can't stand much longer or my sacroiliac begin complaining loudly. I hope to do another in the afternoon.
I also put the peelings and cores from this mornings apples plus a bag from the freezer in my maslin pan along with maybe a quart of cider to get them started. I also added some water. I will strain and maybe press then for juice for apple jelly.
Since I have to be inside, I added a pot of pintos to the mix. I am happiest when I get way too many irons in the fire...
The foil package in front of the oven is a loaf of whole wheat bread thawing for lunch.
