Happy New Years to all.
Welcome 2022, glad to see you!
I hope this year brings all health and a wealth of energy to navigate the challenges and joys that the year might bring.
I hope too, in regards to the Covid-19 Pandemic, that since the virus is coming in like a lion in many parts of the world, that it will go out like a lamb everywhere in 2022!
We are quietly carrying on here at Mist Cottage.
Our New Years dinner this year will consist of Sausage Patties on homemade Whole Wheat Bread, topped with assorted condiments, including home canned Dill Pickles. On the side will be home canned Coleslaw, and homemade Egg Rolls (commercial egg roll wraps). The dipping sauce for the Egg Rolls is a new recipe to me, Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. The commercial product is full of glucose/fructose, which I avoid. I canned three jars on Thursday, so that it would be ready for dipping the Egg Rolls today. The steam canner is worth its weight in gold, as projects like canning three 250 ml jars of sauce can be easily accomplished. Using a water bath canner for this project, the amount of water used, and time spent, would be a deterrent.
Today Attila harvested the last of last years produce from the garden. This is the last of our 2021 garden produce, harvested on January 1, 2022.
Thanks to Peter Rabbit and his pals, this is our second planting carrot and beet harvest, on a luncheon sized plate! The rabbits continually ate the carrot and beet tops, so that the roots did not thrive. Not cute. 
The Brussels Sprout plant harvested today, this first day of 2022. 
The Brussels Sprout leaves in the Instant Pot. Someone on Facebook mentioned how sweet and flavourful the leaves are after the plant freezes several times. So I cooked these leaves in the Instant Pot today, to see what they are like, and WOW, they are so good!! 15 minutes on full pressure, natural release.
