Little Bitty Tuesday...

Posted in Just another day on the homestead

My daughter, who is usually my late-sleeper, woke me up about 6:15 this morning.  She said she was just not tired!   Right now she is sitting on my bed watching Lilo & Stitch and eating a bowl of honey nut cheerios.

I've got my tea brewing & maybe that will get me going.  I have been cutting out coffee other than on the weekends when hubby is home.  I still feel like I need something hot in the morn so I'm drinking tea.  I have several different ones but right now it's called "Awake."  Very appropriate!

We made a trip to Sams over the weekend & they had some really nice looking produce.  --Something that seems hard to come by in the area lately.  We went to wal-mart and their lettuce was all wilted so I decided to go for the plain old iceburg but it was already rusty.  Then walked over to the onions & there were little bugs/flys all over.  I put the other things back & decided to try Sams.  I do realize they are run by the same general company, but I've never had that problem there.  We ended up getting good deals too. I bought a 5lb bag of red onions, 2lbs fresh mushrooms, bag of big bell peppers, & 10lb bag red potatoes & they all looked & tasted great.  While there they had just started marking the ground chuck down because it had to be sold by the next day.  So I bought a huge package of that & came home, broke it down & put it in the freezer.  We ate some last night and it was good too.

We put up spaghetti sauce (8 quarts) & more whole tomatoes (7 quarts) on Saturday.  Today I'll need to do some again.  This time we're making pizza sauce.  Never tried this recipe, but it looks like it will be pretty good.

Well, that should keep us busy for the day.  I hope everyone has a wonderful day!
