Homemade Italian Tomato Sauce Featured for This Week's Potluck
Well the garden finally blessed us with enough tomatoes to prepare the first pot of homemade italian tomato sauce. We ran out of canned tomato sauce from last year in March so the wait has been long but well worth it.
Canning Series: Half-Runners
My dear friend Ginny called me Thursday night to go pick half runners at her friend's house in Yellow Springs. Well, Thursday was not a very good day for me and the temperatures hit a hot and steamy 95 with a heat index over 100. I asked Ginny if we could wait until Friday night after I got off from work. So, last night we headed out to Yellow Springs. It was still hot and steamy, but a few degrees cooler than Thursday night. I must say it was a labor of love because who in their right mind would want to go out into a garden with the temperatures very high, bugs flying around, and tackling the beans winding along the ground inter-twined with weeds a couple of feet high. The answer is simple. People who are dedicated to eating organic home grown foods.
