What's everybody doing today?

[Amish Heart]

We did get the beater truck picked up from repair, so it's back as an extra around here. Took my favorite cousin to cousin Perry's house with his birthday casserole, and I brought him cookies, so he was thrilled with it all. Visited with Perry and his new wife, he turned 86 today. Went back to my favorite cousins and we visited over too much coffee and alot of cookies, it's been awhile. Stopped at the amish grocery on my way home...they got in a ton of red potatoes, selling them for 30 cents a lb, so I got a bunch and will make some red potato salad soon. Our wind was horrible today!

I hope that snow will melt slowly in Spring ..

And I dont stop yawning

So quiet in the house ...
Have a great Evening and Night

@Amish Heart and everyone else who still has that old Corning ware casserole dish, bowl, or plate…I was researching that brand last week or so out of curiosity and stumbled across a few articles or websites that are all about Corning ware that contains lead in an unacceptable level. So I reckon I’ll be letting a few of my pieces go, have had them for decades and probably not safe for food usage.
@Tommyice so happy to hear your dad’s recovery is doing so well.
@Mountain trapper and @Hooch hope you get to feeling better quickly. You, sir, better take it easy!
@sonya123 sounds like things went sideways in your neck of the woods. Hope all the lambs make it through okay in the coming days.

I got home a bit ago from doing goat maintenance. Vaccinated 4 youngsters and castrated one...there's another buckling that I'd like to castrate that I couldn't catch. If weather holds I'm hoping to go out there and butcher another one tomorrow.

Do we have a Corning Ware lead thread?

Do we have a Corning Ware lead thread?

I don’t think so.

 

[OldSchool]

I don’t think so.

That's news to me about lead in Corning Ware, but then I don't own or use any so wouldn't have caught my interest. I've read some threads here about cookware, but never read about that. I like my Pyrex Visions stovetop cookware, and for food storage too. I've read lots about those, but never heard about lead in those. A thread about it would be cool.

@Weedygarden talked about Corning Ware, I think!! I know there was talk of lead!! I remember talking patterns!! Pearl had a good memory!! And OUTSTANDING HEARING!! That doesn't have anything to do with Corning Ware, but my hearing is incredible!!

 

[INresponse]

I hope everyone is enjoying their VD.

We are making a Sam's Club run this morning! Probably run to the Walmart next to it for half price Valentine's candy!!

My hearing is remarkable, too. DH says I can hear a bird fart in the tree across the street! LOL

I'll walk in a bit.
Run to local grocery for sweet potatoes to dehydrate for pups.
Dehydrate the sweet potatoes.
Attend a zoom meeting for VA caregivers.
Walk dogs.

Lab work on old dog turned up high liver counts and low thyroid. Starting her on milk thistle this morning and will get thyroid pills from vet. Eventually, she needs her teeth cleaned.

Since I was out most of the day yesterday, probably do things around the farmhouse after animal chores. The floors look like they need doing again, and might do some baking. Not sure yet, but not a high pressure day

Today is easy, it's raining so maybe some box packing and making Jambalya for supper.

Nothing miraculous, it's all Zatarains for the jambalya and some andouille sausage.
