you don't have to can stuff. Just make it and eat it all!

It's those pesky temperature gradients. Glass doesn't like going from boiling to cold. My husband makes sure to heat the jar clampy thing that grabs them so they don't blow up on us. We've not had one pop during that transfer, but we've had them crack while cooling. That's always a bummer.

My husband makes ketchup occasionally. The last one was made with tomatillos instead of tomatoes (because we had them to use up), peaches for a bit of sweetness, apple cider vinegar, and some other witchcraft I don't know about. It didn't last long. We destroyed six pints of it and mourned the two we gave away to friends. LOL

Great to have you here. Thanks for spending some time on the story, even if it's a bit interrupted by school duties. Two more weeks means there will be a few more chapters to read, so that works out too. See you around when you're able to get to the tale. It'll be here for ya!

Enjoy your visit with the boy and your daughter-in-law! I hope it has been a fun time for everyone. You picked some good quotes to zero in on. Taggert does seem to keep to himself. Why that is, we may just see. And yes. It's a squirt of sour cream. For ease, Terry bought the tubes instead of tubs of the stuff. I can't help if your mind dives into the gutter when talking about white stuff and squirting. *tsk tsk* More is coming. I mean, more is on the way. Dirty girl. 😛 Thanks for reading and commenting, kbois!

Ohhh. Someone with first-hand knowledge of the world I am imagining! Well, forgive me if I get something wrong. I grew up on a farm in Kentucky, so there's some crossover there. But I would never assume it gives me true insight into the operations of a large cattle ranch in Oklahoma. I have done my research where I could, so my hope is that it'll be close. I'm glad you're along for the ride. I hope you continue to enjoy the story. Thanks for reading and commenting!
-
LOL. I was thinking of splitting the difference. Maybe every 5 days. We'll see.
-
Well, we'll see. I started that way so I'd have time to finish the whole story. But... It's already completely done. This was one of those stories that wouldn't leave me alone until I completed it. So maybe I'll bump it to two postings a week.

It's pretty suspicious, isn't it? And you have the capacity to get to the bottom of that. I hope you enjoy the rest of this one. It was pretty fun writing it. Thanks for commenting and reading!

Welcome back, tim. 💚
-
Ah, you're a cowboy fan, eh? Welp, saddle up. Because this one is pretty fun. At least, I think so. 🤠
-
Good question about Taggert's past. If so, it'd likely be unwelcome, considering how locked down and insular Taggert seems to be. And one of the story tags is: Runaway. So... I do realize that much can be gleaned from the story's tags. And I actually avoided using some that would have fit very well for that reason. Still, there's a lot to be learned from those that remain. Thanks for commenting and reading. More to come.
-
Thanks, Parker. The slow reveal is about the only sensible way to go with someone like Taggert. Anything else would feel rushed and forced. And Taggert won't be rushed. Thanks for reading and commenting, Parker. I appreciate it.
-
... the Tag team. I didn't even think of that. LOL Cute. Yep. The guys all do their part, and they all know they can depend on one another to do theirs. They may give one another a little hell, but they wouldn't if they didn't like/trust the other guys. It's just how things are in a group like theirs. Thanks for reading and commenting. See you next week.
-
A hardworking, quiet, almost anti-social guy gets paired with Ash, who also works hard, but is decidedly more social. I guess we'll see how that develops, eh? And yes. Terry keeps the guys well-fed. That is his job, and he does it well. Thanks for commenting and reading, Chris. More to come.
-
Admittedly, this one is a slow burn. With someone like Taggert, how could it not be? But yes, it gives us time to understand all the characters before hopping into bed. If we even get that far! 😛 Thanks for reading and commenting. More to come.
-
They did get a lot done. And Ash is a bit of an expert when it comes to fencing, which makes him appreciate Taggert's efficiency. Taggert does seem to put himself out there only grudgingly. Ya gotta wonder why, eh? We'll have to see if there are answers to the riddles surrounding Taggert. Stick with me, and we'll get there. Thanks for reading and commenting!
-
Poor cowboys. Reduced to sex objects! Actually, I don't think most of the guys would mind. LOL I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Stick around, there's more coming next week.

LOL. Well, I'm sure Taggert appreciates the vote of confidence. "... in reserve with Taggert." I love how that's worded. Yeah, you have hit upon something unique to him. He's very insular and protective of his time and opinions. He doesn't talk much. He volunteers things about himself even less. Thanks for the nice message. And thanks for reading. There's more to come, and I think this one is worth the wait.
-
Is this a feat? You don't read lots of cowboy stories? Regardless, I am happy you're here. I do feel this is one of my better tales. It's plotted so well, I surprised myself. lol Thanks for reading and commenting. There's more to come!
-
It sounds like you're signing off on the abuse/scars theory. We'll see if you're right. Thanks for commenting and reading!
-
Taggert is just a bit standoffish, or he seems to be. And he's pretty odd in other aspects, too. You hit upon one of those things with his guarded nature, while most of the other cowboys seem much more open. Terry is an awesome cook. If I had him cooking for me, I'd weigh 400 lbs, because I'm not a cowboy on my feet for 10-12 hours a day. But... it might be worth it anyhow. LOL Thanks for reading and commenting!

He is behaving oddly, and that's a pretty good theory if he cared about having a scar. Regardless, interesting theory. One thing I can promise is that time will reveal if you're right or not. Nasser Ranch is a great environment for fairness and recognition. That does start at the top, with the owner (Bert Nasser), and it trickles through Branford, then all the way down through every cowboy. It's a pretty masculine but decent environment. I really want that to come across, too, and I think it does. More to come. See you Monday.
-
Oh, some good theories. And yes - the trailer choice and his shower behavior seem at odds, don't they? You're observant to call that out, nice job. We'll have to see if your theory concerning his family and past has any truth to it. Time will tell. Thanks for reading and writing. See you next week!

Haha. Well, all guys look. Gotta see where ya measure up, after all. But, spoiler alert - it's probably Branford. He's 6'6", and proportional. So... the guy in charge of the crew is probably packing some heat. Thanks for reading and commenting! 🤠
