I didn't record
or keep tract what we spend for the month of September. I didn't
balance any checks and everything is paid. Ok not everything we had a
medical lab and at this time we're paying them $5.00 a month. I just
don't want to take it out of saving and once things are straighten
out here I'll send them a bigger payments.
For most of the
day we been harvesting out of the garden and also putting the garden
to bed. We got a pretty good size to do list. I should be happy if we
can get ½ of everything done outside before the snow flies. There
been talk about snow flurries in the mountain.
My outdoor to
do list.
- Harvest everything thing out of the garden
- Can, dehydrate, or freeze these items....pears, peaches, leeks, carrots, plums, and etc.
- Put a fence up for my orchard.
- Plant some bulbs that I ordered...haven't came yet.
- Start back purging things out of the shed/barn.
- Get more firewood.
But actual
we're in pretty good shape for going into winter.
It's due time I
took you right over to a give away at Samhain
Siren. The gift prize is a $35.00 gift Certificate.

For
the recipe is brought to you by Vicky as
one of those fancy coffee drinkers. I'm copying and paste her Pumpkin
coffee.
Pumpkin
Spice Latte
1.
Make coffee (a pot, a cup, in whatever fashion and however you prefer
making your coffee. The stronger the better)
2.
Make Pumpkin Milk
1 c
milk (I used almond milk but use any kind you want from half and half
to rice milk)
1/4
heaping cup pumpkin puree (more if you really love pumpkin)
2 tsp
pumpkin pie spice blend, or to taste
1 tsp
cinnamon, or to taste
1 tsp
vanilla extract
sweetener
of choice, to taste (I use 2 tbsp brown sugar or a pinch of stevia to
taste; you can also try honey, maple syrup, etc. to taste)
Optional:
pinch of ground nutmeg, ginger, garam masala, cardamom, or other
warming spices to taste
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well by hand or
blend all ingredients using a blender
Optional:
Warm the finished pumpkin milk mixture in the microwave or on the
stovetop. (microwave approximately 1 minute)
3.
Pour 1 c of brewed coffee into a mug and pour half the pumpkin milk
mixture over the top of the coffee and enjoy. (Optional: Finish
by garnishing with real whipped cream, recipe found below and a
sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice/cinnamon on top)
The
other half of the pumpkin milk mixture is for the refill you know you
will want. If you truly don’t want a refill, refrigerate it
for up to a few days and use for your next latte, in a smoothie, or
drink it as is. As long as you're dirtying dishes, I
always make a little extra for refills or for later.
The
spices will not “blend” or entirely dissolve. This is to be
expected and normal. If this bothers you, this may not the
recipe for you and you may want to experiment with other recipes or
techniques.
All
spices and seasonings are to taste; in this case, mine. If you
want to reduce the spices (or increase them), obviously adjust
everything according to your own taste preferences. Some people
may find the amounts I used a bit strong, but I like robust
flavors.
Homemade REAL whipped cream
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1TBS sugar or stevia
1 tsp vanilla extract
freeze beaters to your electric mixer and medium mixing bowl for approximately 30 mins prior to using. Pour heavy whipping cream into bowl, add vanilla and sweetener. Mix on high until stiff peaks form. Add a spoonful (or more) to your latte and enjoy. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 48 hrs.

For
those who read though part of Samhain ritual...Around here people
seems to be uncomfortable with other religions other then
Christianity. Some reason they been brain washed to believe they have
the answer for everything about life and death...So sad.
Opinion
time....For Samhain (Halloween) it would be nice to go up to local
cemetery and bring a dish of one who has passed on and have big pot
luck meal.
But
in our area the weather is usual pretty ucky.
Kept
on trying to get things harvest out of the garden so the garden can
be put to bed. So we mange to do 8 pints of peaches. One thing I
notice the peaches don't have the fuzz like they use to. To me a
peach is to be so juicy that one would need to eat it over the sink.
We
did dry some parsley in the dehydrator and froze up anther quart of
tomatillos.
It look like it might and
notice how I say “might” the weather people on television is
calling for cooler nights. So Murphy went out and got the French
“Charentais” a type of melon which weighs about 2 pounds.
The nice lady who trying to
keep us blogging and here is her own personal blog
.2nd day of
blogging. For those who wish to see the list of who is taking part in
and if I counted right there 49 of us
Coffee is on.
