I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 27 years, disabled daughter, college-aged son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!Today at the grocery store they had keta salmon on sale for $3.99 a pound if you bought the whole fish. I got almost 7 pounds. I had them filet it for me, but also took the scraps from the fileting process. My mom uses the scraps to make a dish so we always take it, too.
Tomorrow I will can up the almost six pounds of filet, so we can get more protein on the shelves. I can't believe how ridiculous seafood prices have gotten. Shrimp is like $17 a pound and king crab is twice that. Even trash fish which used to be $5 or $6 a pound is more like $8 or $9. I may go back for more of this salmon since it is so cheap.
I also hope to get more potatoes canned either tomorrow or the next day. I opened a jar of potatoes today to try them. I made fried potatoes with them and they were exquisitely good.
Today I did another batch of applesauce. This time it was 9 pints, with about 1/4 cup left over that my son devoured. I could have done more, but the third crockpot was busy with today's dinner.
I made a new recipe today for pulled pork in the crockpot. Well, sort of a recipe. I put half a jar of Trader Joe's arrabiata sauce in the bottom of the crockpot (in a liner), then put in the pork roast, then dumped the rest of the jar on top of the roast. Then I threw in some of my home frozen onions and peppers on top. 8 hours on low, a minute with a couple of forks, and it was a succulent, tender, mildly spiced dinner served wrapped in tortillas.
Next time I'll put in a 4 oz jar of green chiles, though and some salt. It made a great birthday dinner for my daughter who is now 18 years old. How did that happen? I can't even believe it.
Speaking of my daughter, she continues to improve slowly. Your prayers are still very much needed, though.
Excellent Deal on Fish

Other than tuna and chicken, I'm not familiar with canned meat. How do you use your canned salmon?
