Potato, Leek and Fabulous Cannellini Bean Soup

I wish I could smell this

6 red potatoes cubed

9 cups water

5 packets chicken broth (could use veggie)

1 fresh garden onion

1 cup celery

2 leeks diced

3 tbsp. mazola oil

3 tbsp. flour

1 can cannellini beans

1 cup milk

2 slices ham ( can use veggie ham too)

Boil potaoes in water and chicken broth mix until tender.  Fry onion, leeks and celery till tender in oil.  Sprinkle 3 tbsp. flour over simmered onion mixture, stir evenly  and add 1 cup of hot potato water and stir. Put onion mixture into potato pot and mix.  Add 1 cup milk and beans, and diced up ham.  Bring to a simmer for a few minutes and Voila! 

Cloudy pickles

This is what happpens to my dills when I don't process for 10 minutes, everytime. The unprocessed dills don't all seal.  Thank God I only did three jars this way. They taste really good when they are like this in the cloudy jar but you can't keep them for very long.  They have a  nice fizzy taste to them. So I guess I'll be eating dills for two weeks.

This is what 10 pounds of beets makes in beet pickles.

And this is the mess you have after.

My Tex Mex Rockbuster

El Paso Fajita kit has a deal that when you rip open the box, you'll find a coupon inside the box.  Use the coupon on your next purchase of El Paso Kit and you will get the Tex Mex Cheese Free.  That's a nine dollar saving at my store

So when you have 9 extra dollars in your purse you go to Walmart and buy a dynamite ring.
