Welcome to Dana's blog!

more canning!

I completely forgot that Mat has his youth tonight at chruch! I was going to wait to can pickles until then. My sister gave me some cukes to use (since mine are DEAD!). I worked out and then realized the error of my plan. I hung up the 1st load of laundry and checked the garden while trying to rework things timewise in my day. I had SEVEN cantaloupes ready (finally!), 5 tomatoes, 1 cuke, 1 zucchini. I also picked 2 beets and have quite a few green peppers that will be ready soon. So I came in and cleaned the beets and got busy canning 8 pints of dill sandwich stackers. I'm sure that Dh will be upset taht I did it in the house, but I don't know how to use his canning grill. Mat was a wonderful help and got school done and ran out the food trash and took some laundry off the line and they wrote their trucker buddy intro letters. I then cut up 2 cantaloupes (which are YUMMY!) and I cleaned up the kitchen. At 1, I REALLY got on Joey about not having school done YET! So we are all done w/that and I"m supposed to help mat clean out under his bed nad have to find the energy. I'm just dead.
