Tobacconist by Marriage (among other things)

[Mrs BeeKeeper]

Funny story:
I was terrified of bees and I had just quit smoking. So it only seems logical that I married a beekeeper, who loves his smokes.

I joined this site (at his request) after seeing my husband (chillardbee) spend countless hours on here. He also has spoken many times about how much he has come to appreciate the community he has found. Not sure what I can glean from or give to the community other than support. Which is what I give to Will (I hope he would agree).

This is the second year of growing our own tobacco. (Yes, I say ours even though I don't smoke it.) I do try to help where I can. If my Mr isn't going to quit, I'm much happier with him growing it, and curing it at home.

I probably won't post much, if anything. Just comment on Mr's posts, and any that I find interesting.

See you around the forum!

Welcome to the forum. Those were nice bags you were sewing. My wife has helped me pull grass once. She doesn't smoke either.

 

[Mrs BeeKeeper]

I should say, while I'm not a smoker, I am a homesteader at heart. Right now, life dictates that I work full time outside the home. (We don't have wee ones yet.) But I spin wool, knit & crochet, weave and sew. I cook, bake, clean and craft. I dehydrate, freeze and can foods. Will and I have a good system. He does most of the heavy work, and I do all the finishing touches. He's a hard worker that man o' mine!

She don't smoke either but I am growing her alotted 15 kg for myself. Oh, And welcome to the FTT Babers. (i'm the only one allowed to call her that by the way)

You might check "providing for the table" Some good (and some funny) stuff over there. I personally enjoy trying a new recipe.

Oh Yeah? Now the word is out Knucks will pull some stunt. Ask Workhorse.

Or, if he's in trouble, it's fully Mr. Gruenwald. Frequent example: "Language Mr. Gruenwald!!"

Fantastic! I will def. jump over there to check it out! (Last night I ruined my chances of ever going out for Mexican again. I made the best burritos EVER. LOL!)

I resent the accusation. Hunners is absolutely safe from persecution. I think it's a perfectly scrumptious nickname.

Welcome. My ol ladys a member here but dont post much. I think the shame of some of my posts keeps her away.

 

[Mrs BeeKeeper]

Awe! Boboro! Tell her to come back! I should start a "Wives of ..." thread.

 

[Mrs BeeKeeper]

@Knucklehead: LMAO!!!!!

GREAT. About a year ago the local market changed brands of tortillas. The new ones were awful so I made a tortilla press and started making my own. I'll never buy one again. Make my own Fritos too.

LOL, HE HE and all that.

 

[Mrs BeeKeeper]

I asked *someone* to make me a tortilla press. I have made tortillas with my rolling pin, and they were certainly delicious, but lots of effort. I'd like a press. *cough, Chillardbee, cough*

Sure thing. Good Idea. Now let's see Workhorses wife if Jennifer and BigBonner's Lady is Sherry and ------ You gals can form a private thread and cut us all to shreds.
