The second reason I did not take many pictures this past weekend is tomatoes and milk. Seriously. I’m not getting much milk from the girls right now, but it still adds up.
That means, I started Saturday by making three batches of mozzarella. I also had to deep fry the mozzarella sticks that we made last weekend. They’ve been in the freezer all week taunting me.
Then I switched to tomatoes.
This is my canning total for Saturday: 13 pints and 2 half-pints of roasted sauce; two pints and four quarts of cold pack tomatoes; and six pints and three quarts of tomato juice.
My basement is full. I’ve already given away two dozen pints of sauce/salsa. I quit. I refuse to do any more tomatoes this year!
That means I moved on to other garden items! I chopped and froze some okra.
I started preparing and freezing butternut squash. I did some for me and some for my uncle.
Someone had to check out the squash after I put the skins in the birds’ bucket.
Snickers decided that it tasted yummy.
I pulled the last of the beets and shared them with my nephew. I roasted and froze mine. Since my peppers didn’t do well, my sister sent me a bucket.
I’m still working on getting the peppers done. I did take a break though, and made three batches of soap Sunday afternoon.
That includes a new fragrance–crisp apple rose.
