I'm off. Having a good day. The crock pot has stew in it and I'm making an apple crisp. I may even make a pan of apple slices, as the kids brought home literally baskets of apples from the orchard.

Working Americans work on Columbus Day. The Federal government does not:

I not only celebrate Christopher Colombus day, I think we ought to have a Vasco Núñez de Baboa day, a Hernado Cortez Day, a Vasco De Gama Day, and an Hernado De Soto day, too.

One simply cannot have too many patriotic holidays as far as I'm concerned.

make apple butter in the crock pot. just core the apples...pile in...add a wee bit of water....cook for 8 hours or so....mash if needed...put into sterilzed jars and hot water bath for 30 minutes. some people add red hots for sugar and cinnomon. just spice to your tastes.

Whats your policy on Columbus day?

Really?? The guy discovered the new world! I am afraid to ask about Victory over Japan day.

Stew? Well I'm on low sodium, so not as good as it used to be :

Stew meat
new potatoes, quartered
carrots
onions
leeks
garlic
corn
peas
beans

1/2 C Cabernet
Box of low sodium/low fat beef broth
bit of salt
pepper
bay leaf

Cook til dinner time. Thicken gravy with flour & cold water or corn starch. LOL! With stew it's kind of what you like and have on hand.

If you don't have to watch sodium, use a teaspoon or so of salt, to taste. Regular beef broth. Heck, I'll probably throw some red pepper flakes on it for zip.

Are you kidding? I didn't realize that it was some bullshit holiday until I drove to the bank to find it closed.

Well, when your bank is also your post office, restaurant, doctor's office, bowling alley, shoe shop and pharmacy, of course it is!

That's small town living!
