Ain't No Rest for the Wicked


I heard it's labor day weekend...something about taking time to 'relax' for all the labor you do year round.
But, I say, 'there ain't no rest for the wicked...'
And we all know money don't grow on trees ;)

Busy weekend none the less. We've been slanging apples (and pears) like no ones business and it consumed all but dinnertime out of the day yesterday.

Today I spent 97.9% of the day in the kitchen...but that's ok since I enjoy it ;) My son will probably grow up to be a Chef since he watches me every move, while I cook, with serious concentration. And then he shoots me that grin of his!

Celery from the garden with fresh eggs from a fellow farmer for Egg Salad.


She must think she is a Peach....

Baby Food!
Pureed Peaches


Today I put up 5 quarts of canned Peaches and 6 half-pints of Peach Butter.
Who has a fruit/veg strainer attachment for their KitchenAid? Can we Skype because I splurged and bought myself one today to make my life easier when canning and it just made me more frustrated. It JUICED my peaches...but more on that later. And I have 9#'s left to do something with, so if you have this attachment and know HOW to use it, let's chat!

And, ta-da! Another box of 'maters from my co-worker. And they are smelling heavenly roasting in the oven right now.
