but in welcome to Monday morning it's another hot day here in the homestead
but I can't wait to share with you what I got today at the food pantry last
month I missed it because there was five Saturdays in the month and I thought it
was the last Saturday of each month but it's the fourth Saturday so I'm really
excited to be able to go and share with you all I got and it's gonna be a real
blessing to me so let's get started in the video
I just got back everyone and you won't believe what I got I got not one carload
but two carloads of food the food that was leftover was going to go to the pigs
literally I have all of this food this is going to be the busiest week that I
have ever had with other things that are happening here on the homestead but I'm
going to share with you all I got this week at the food pantry now it's once a
month it's a food truck and it's its produce and we went at the end of it and
we asked them we said you know we don't want to take from anybody where does
this food go when what's left it goes to the pigs
I just retrieved all of this food from the pigs and it's going to feed my
family all winter long so I'm going to show you what all I got much its ovis
almost overwhelming but it is amazing so we have lots of tomatoes lots and lots
of tomatoes but we got lots of green beans we got lots of bananas cases of
chips but most of it is produce and my produce is everywhere everywhere I can't
even walk in the kitchen bags and bags of produce cases of bananas cases of
strawberries cases of tomatoes we're gonna go the whole way over here
sorry for the mess because it is everywhere we we just simply didn't have
room for everything it's on the floor it's on every counter and I have cases
in the refrigerator a bananas and everything so I'm gonna get all this
together and today's video is going to be showing you how I can some of these
green beans because I got to get the green beans done I have so much going on
and it's just crazy it's just it's just literally crazy but I'm so thankful I
got to go and I'm so thankful I get to glean all this food because this food is
going to sustain me for many many many months so I'm gonna get started
you after I get I have to go through everything and I have to just organize
everything and this week you'll see what I'm doing with all this food so there's
two bags and the tomatoes and I have to put them in the refrigerator overnight
because they will spoil if I don't so I had the tomatoes all bagged up and I
went through them I still got all these tomatoes and I'm gonna see what I can do
with them bagged up the bagels and I'll put them
in the freezer it stays like this I wish I had a big freezer and all of these
strawberries are in that case so we're gonna go through them and we'll take out
the rotten ones I gathered all the bananas together and they're in their
box and they will be dehydrated this week so we figured out the wax beans the
reason why they look so there were a little bit soft they look like they were
accidentally froze so they partly froze and what we're doing is we washed them
and now we are canning them and I'll show you how many it gave so I added my
Lipton onion soup mix and it gave me seven quarts so we have 7 quarts in here
and I'm gonna put the other court in the freezer so that is the green beans that
is the wax beans and they are finished so that there was project number one
project number two is all of the strawberries and I'm going to be making
some jelly with them and who knows what else and project number three would be
all the pizza sauce I use with all the tomatoes so the green beans are finished
and they taste amazing I'm slowly getting everything done so this is going
to be a series of videos and at the end of my video it's gonna say to be
continued because I just have so much going on now right now I have more and
more and more cucumbers and tomatoes and all of these wonderful things this is
probably the busiest time of my whole year hope you enjoyed the video I just
wanted to sit down with you and talk to you a moment the next seven days are
going to be extremely challenging for me and I'm asking that all of you would
keep me in your prayers that I would have
relaxed mind I have a lot going on here right now in the next seven days it's
going to be extremely busy for me and I'm going to share with you the
following week what's going on in my life and why was it so challenging but
in the meantime I'm asking if some of you could play some of my old playlists
maybe you could let them run and just play them for me it would really help me
out also there may be one or two vintage videos this week most of my videos are
fresh videos and their new videos but there may be a video one or two this
week that are going to be ones that I filmed a long time ago and the reason
for that is just to give me one or today a break and when you hear what all I was
doing these next seven days you're going to understand but if you could just bear
with me for just these next seven days I would really appreciate it with having
over a thousand videos I'm sure there is a few videos that you don't mind
reviewing so I can't wait you guys to share with you so much more and I can't
wait to share with you what is going on in my life and I think that you will be
blessed by it take care everyone we'll see you guys tomorrow
