Tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes and more tomatoes. I wish I could say they were grown in my backyard .. but these came from central Washington state .. not that far away. Our tomatoes are sparse, green and may still be that color when picked. Make note to self:
In a bounty year can, can, can those tomatoes to last through a less than perfect growing season .. even if you're sick of canning! I made spicy, zesty, and fiesta salsas; the first two are medium and hot .. and the fiesta is similar to Ro-tel brand which is super spicy/hot/crunchy/delicious as an ingredient in Tex-Mex recipes ... and a batch of quartered tomatoes packed in their own juice. All the recipes are found in the Ball Blue Book of Preserving.
Our neighborhood moose, old Black-Jack, stomped through my yard this morning waking me from my Saturday morning slumber. Mr. Mac had just come home from working the night shift ... and let our
dawg out for a potty run ... and run she did .. straight away to bark and pester old Black-Jack ... getting charged and tromped on a bit. I suppose the
dawg will one day win a Darwin Award .. but she did keep him from tramping through the gardens. Perhaps a soft pillow and a few dog biscuits are in order today, eh?
