For Anyone Who Wants to Join In...

For those who know us (Joe, Shaun and myself Susan), then you know how much work has been going on around the store and the house.  I do not know what we would have done if not for the great help we have from our friends in the store (Ginger and Tom). It has been  VERY busy time over the past year for us here at Country Road Antiques, and at home with the new house.  We are trying to remodel the store a little at a time and balance that with our new home which we are still working on. The cost of everything has been a large investment. One of the ways that I try to help balance that is by making home-made items from the kitchen for my family. Knowing what is going into our food is another big bonus. Along the way I have been asked a lot of questions… soooo…

I have decided to do some articles on dehydrating and canning. Several of my friends have asked me to gives instructions and recipes for putting food up. Living in the country gives us a great opportunity to put up a lot of seasonal foods.  If done correctly it can be very economical and fun.  If you live in the city, but want a taste of homemade this is a wonderful way to achieve that goal.

I hope that you enjoy the preserving of food or the making of a great dish as much as I do. Watch for my articles, and if you have a recipe or idea that you would like to share please let me know.  Please subscribe and I am looking forward to hearing from everyone.
