Salsa

This morning I went to the quilt shop to do the next block of the week. It's on my list to take pictures of the blocks I've done so far. Today's was a pinwheel which involved making half-square triangles then sewing them together. I learned that squaring up each half-square is better than squaring up the final block (although it's a good idea to do both.). A more perfect midpoint is achieved by squaring up first.

After I got home I spent the afternoon making salsa. What an involved job! And I even used the food processor. Here's the recipe I used. I cut it in half, cut the jalapenos in half again and eliminated the sugar. It made just over 14 pints. I have no idea if it's good or not. I hope so, since we have that much. Amy was a big help. Even so, I was pretty worn out by the time I finished.



Noelle the traveling doll just arrived yesterday, so she needed something to occupy her time today.











She's pretty cute.

The weekend is here which means dh will check the garden. I wonder how many tomatoes he'll have for me tomorrow? Next tomato project--drying. Our oven will dry things, so we're going to try that.

After the tomatoes are done I'll do applesauce. I think our Z'ville friends ought to come help. ;-) You know who you are. :)
