Homemade Salsa???

{ 07:17, Thursday, May 15, 2008 } { 2 comments } { Link }

After getting boxes of roma tomatoes, summer squash, zucchini and some onions from the guy giving produce away (he was taking donations for his food pantry in the city and since I knew him as a former pastor in town, I gave him a good donation), I have been looking up recipes for salsa (good use for my onions and tomatoes and I can buy the peppers needed), and looking up web pages giving directions on how to freeze the summer squash and zucchini.  So guess what I will be doing tonight and tomorrow??  I am excited because as my friend Kitty said, it is amazing to see anyone giving away food at these times.  Plus I have never frozen those veggies, and can you believe I have never made salsa before either???

Almost have my girlfriend's laundry done and bagged for her.  LOL  I washed it, dried it, folded it for her and she brought me a 1 liter bottle of my favorite drink....MT. DEW!!!   And a package of Reece's Peanut butter cups (possibly the best food on earth. LOL) for doing her laundry.  How funny is that??? She is a peach I tell ya.

Hubby went to work today with cructches and came home carrying them in one hand and walking slowly today.  LOL  He said his ankle is doing better, but I can gurantee hi won't be on any roofs or towers any time soon!  He is still planning on staying home this weekend instead of working with his friend on electrical moonlighting jobs, so maybe we will get some painting and other household projects done that are on my "honey-do" list.

Hubby and I talked about using some of the money we have had coming in to stock up on some groceries and paper supplies for the home again.  We were having a tight month and decided not to buy groceries this month, so we were using up what was stocked in our pantry shelves.  We did have to buy toliet paper (don't want to run out of that!!!), and diapers, and I even broke down and bought Matthew his favorite breakfast cereal while it was on sale because he was about to have a nervous breakdown without his Peanut Butter Captain Crunch cereal. LOL  Since then we have had some money come in, and after talking with Matthew today, I think we are going to make a list of bulk items we would like to stock up on when they go on sale and hopefully before the food prices rise again.  We had quite a stash going until we had to use it the last 2 months.  We may be doing some shopping while in the city next weekend over our anniversary weekend and I am excited to be able to visit Sam's Club again!  I haven't been to one in well over a year and I used to accompany my mom about 1-2 times a month.

ok, I am skipping out of here for now.  Have a wonderful evening.

What a blessing to have all those fresh veggies. Today I went to home depot and bought more veggies to plant because one of my dogs rolled in my garden! I also need to stock up on a few items. With the way prices are going we all need all the help we can get. I hope hubby takes it easy! I do know about pushing an injury tooo far. I broke my leg in Dec-08 and am still in the recovery mode! I am off of bed rest though and that is a blessing.
God Bless, mj

It's so good to hear that Matthew is doing better. And about the vegetables- wow! Talk about being in the right place at the right time. A real gift, for certain. Maybe when you open your laundromat customers can pay you in produce. :-)
