You see, when I need fresh containers, I make my Santa Fe Stew recipe - 'cause I can get at least six new ones as I dump each can into the biggest pot in the house.
Then, once I get the pot simmering (an all day affair), some tough decisions have to be made!
Do I punch holes in the bottom of the cans? When I do that, then the containers have to be used to repot.....
a leaf from my Christmas cactus.
Or Autumn Joy Sedum....or coleus or....impatients...or sage, or.... the list goes on and on. I love repotting snippets to easily delight my own windowsill or pass along to others.
But back to that tough decision. If I leave the bottom of the can intact, then it becomes the perfect foil for my next flower arrangement! Now is this not divine!
Or, another tough decision: Before I do all that, do I play around with the can label in photoshop!
Do I need to tell you that it's been a full fun-filled morning? Now, I'm off to find that Santa Fe Stew recipe again! Oh, here it is. This is one of those plan-ahead dishes. It's enough for dinner tonight, then there's plenty to freeze to have ready for unexpected (or expected) company!
Thanks for sharing your recipe! Now a question... your recipe says you love this in COLD weather, so I'm just wondering if YOUR weather today is going to be milder than our predicted 102 degrees?? LOL! I know... when you have a need for containers, you don't worry about the temps. Have a good (and cool) day! KAT
ReplyDeleteI'm in Franklin Parish so I know it's 101 today in Monroe. It must be one of those good enough for any weather dishes. Two cans have the labels hidden. What was in them?
