Tomato Day


Well, I'll postpone the bear story for a few more days because I have another story: On Tuesday I had a bad experience with an ear of corn - I broke off my front tooth!
Needless to say I've had a few painful days and still have quite a few dentist appts to get through. That was one expensive ear of corn!

I got out in the garden early this morning to find LOTS of red tomatoes! So I picked them and more peppers and have put up 6 pints of diced tomatoes and 6 pints of quartered tomatoes. I've prepared a big batch of black bean & corn salsa, but won't get that into the jars until after dinner. We're having stuffed peppers tonight! So it's been a great garden day all around.
I just love harvest time and seeing all my mason jars with pretty vegetables in them lined up on the counter.

I love your missing tooth 'YELLOW' tomato (well it could pass for a tomato!) I do sympathize with you for not only all you have already gone through but the next appointments to come. Yep, one expensive corn on the cob. HH

Sorry to hear about your dental problem. Hope it gets fixed soon. Your mentioning canning brings back memories of my Mom, your great grandma at canning time. She used to can in quarts. She canned sweetcorn, green beans, and peaches etc., and it was indeed a pretty sight to see all those cans lined up and ready to take to the cellar and then bring back up to made a delicious meal next winter........thanks for the memories.....Joe and Pat.
