Look what I have. There are a ton of tomatoes this year. I'm canning them today, and tomorrow, and the next day........Did you know that you spell tomato without an E? I didn't until a customer told me I spelled Tomatoe Herb bread wrong on the chalk board that took me hours. How rude. I think we should change the way you spell tomatoe, potatoe, and fourty. Those are the three words I just can't seem to get right. On to the new way with ... ...continue reading
Tis the season to stand at the kitchen sink for hours on end, with a really sappy Jane Austin movie, and can everything in sight.

This just doesn't ... ...continue reading

(Sorry! I think that is the worst picture I've taken. Someone ran off with my camera. Again, you sometimes have to use your imagination.)I did so dang good on my diet Mon. and I had to share what we had for dinner. For one it was delicious, and secondly it was the first meal of the year out of my garden. It got rave review from everyone in the family except for Jake. He ended up eating the leftover lemon pasta from a previous post. Poor ... ...continue reading
