I was a busy girl in the kitchen yesterday.

August 20, 2011

My mom gave me some more tomatoes, so I had another little canning session. It was a lot less nerve-wracking this time since I knew what I was doing. Anyway, I now have seven more quarts of local, organic tomatoes, which makes me happy. While I was in kitchen mode, I did some other cooking [...]
