Darie's November Update
Nov 08, 2023 3:16 pm
Hey y'all!
For those new to my newsletter, welcome! Fall has finally come to my area of the country. We've had a bout of chilly weather. Which means...Yup! It's officially Soup Season!
Since I started canning about ten years ago, I've looked forward to this time of year. I usually take a couple of weekends and make three to four different types of soups and chili. I can them in mason jars so that I have access to homemade goodness to warm me up on those cold winter days.
What's been going on?
Vacation
I told you last month that I was heading to Las Vegas for a short vacay with my siblings. I have a few highlights from my adventures. Spoiler alert: I did not wild out. Although I've been there a handful of times, I still played the tourist, went to shows and went sightseeing. I still had a great time.
Writing update
