Oh Carter I'm so happy for you and David, but especially for you! You totally deserve this kitchen and oh my goodness, what a DREAM kitchen it is! How fabulous!!!!! Martha Stewart has nothing on you when it comes to how well you thought out each and every little detail of functionality within that space. I love it all! And much respect to the faux painter on the new kitchen island (which is amazing!), I am a faux paint artist, and so I know the amount of time and detail she had to have put in to achieve that look. Kudos to that lady, great job!! I love it all; from the drawer that holds your napkins, the new knife space, the white counter top, the brushed satin rose gold fixtures, vertical storage and all of your new appliances! You've got it all, sister! I'm so incredibly happy for you, but for all of us as well because we'll be able to enjoy this kitchen right along with you. Yay for us, too!❤ Thank you for the video. God is GOOD!

Harvested my biggest tomato ever yesterday (1.5 lbs). The okra is really showing out. Peppers got a late start, but now that the heat is upon us, they're thriving. Cucumbers and squash have done well, but are slowing down now. A friend gifted us with fresh corn and speckled butterbeans, so this past weekend was all about preserving those. Blanched and froze the beans; canned the corn (46 pints, plus more for eating this week). So thankful for it all!

Something that made my insta pot more usable for me, is that I bought a second insert, so when I needed to do multiple things, I could pull the first pot out and set the second in without having to empty it, clean, etc. usually that means I made rice or something the first time and some other dish I needed the second go round. anyway that made my insta pot more useful for me. I also keep extra seals for a quick clean change out when necessary. Anyway just tossing it out there in case that is helpful to you! LOVE that appliance nook, just a fabulous idea!

Hi Carter. Beautiful working kitchen! I mentioned the pork butt last week that I purchased for 99 cents a pound. Yesterday I sprinkled the roast with s, p, and garlic powder and browned it before putting it in a 275 degree oven for 2 1/2 hours. The center was still pink but I sliced the ends for a delicious dinner for the two of us and enough for another meal. The roast was six pounds. Then I put it in the crockpot with 2 1/2 cups of water and beef bouillon. This cooked for about 8 hours until I could shred it. The juice is fantastic. I now am processing four pints of wonderful shredded BBQ. When I need it I will add BBQ sauce and make delicious sandwiches. Do you have any suggestions for flavoring the other roasts to can? Good luck enjoying your fabulous kitchen.
