Waiting for Things

Well apparently, the Canner is on its way and looks to be delivered over the weekend/beginning of next week.  Fingers crossed for the weekend.  Can't wait.  Just have to locate the books now and then I can really start to play.

I had also purchased a jerky gun, which basically means you can use ground meat/mince to make jerky with the addition of spices and a curing powder which I would take to be something like a Prague powder and then squirts it out of a special nozzle to create strips.  It is basically a medium sized sausage stuffer type gun with the addition of the special nozzles so I am looking forward to having a play with that too.

OH has to go for a suit fitting this weekend.  My step-son is getting married to his soul mate shortly at the beautiful Orton Hall Hotel in Peterborough.  I suppose I had better start looking for something nice to wear as well.  No hat though; don't do hats as a rule.

I have also ordered some candle moulds so that I can have a go at doing some fancier candles to give as pressies. 

I am also looking at the soap making as well.  I thought if I started with something like the  melt n pour it would help me get into the swing of things and then possibly brave enough to have a go at making my own from scratch.  I have seen and smelt many beautiful soaps over the years and would quite like to be able to make my own for the house and for my own use; that rather appeals to me.  Fresh linen i.e. soft comfy towels and lots of nice smelling soap.  Lovely makes everything smell fresh and clean.  

I am also waiting for a couple of kits a cordial kit and also a wine making kit.  So we shall see how we get on with those.

Right things to do  - lots to do.

Catch you later.
