Be Proud!!

Our kitchen is a mess!

So we had a unnatural amount of tomatoes in our garden this year. I think Tyler fed them some radioactive green slime or something. :) Someone had the brilliant idea to make salsa since we were also growing peppers. So that is how my kitchen was turned into a disaster zone!


Once we got everything chopped up, it was actually kind of fun! Until we found out that since we had put garlic into our salsa that we had to put it into a pressure cooker. We figured this out after we already did that bath thing. So we are heating them up again. Mom gave us this awesome recipe from a lady at her work and it's really good. I just hope that it's not going to explode on us! It's steaming pretty hard right now.



Check out our ghetto stove! So we have been doing this since five o'clock this evening. It's now 9:30. But there is an end in sight! Tyler just said it's going to be about 45 mins now! Yeah! I feel like little Sally Homemaker. I made a whole bunch of Zucchini bread last night and now I'm canning! Wish us luck!

Wow! For a minute I thought I had the wrong blog. Where is Heidi and what did you do with her? And who the heck is suzie homemaker?

Heidi said...

My bad on the Suzie. I have no idea where that came from but it's just a figure of speech.

Are your peaches already for do jam yet? I'll trade some salsa for some to can!

Em, you should put this salsa on your blog. I was eating the stuff we had left over from the bottle with a spoon like cereal! Tyler was a little weirded out.
