Canning Weekend : )

What a full, lazy, fun wonderful 3 day weekend. No Picnics, no cook -outs, no real hard plans... just flowed with it. It was a "God" thing in light of the circumstances. My grandma passed away. She was 81 so it wasn't totally unexpected, but still, much more emotional than I was ready for. So many great memories, so many dear family members - all stemming from such a strong, fiercely independent woman. Rest in Peace Gramma - till we meet again in Heaven. Love you!

So Friday night was movie night at a friends house, and we saw "Limitless" - which was... interesting. Nice though, to not have to think about anything in light of the sad news about Grandma. Saturday I made pepper jelly, took Zoey apple picking, made spaghetti for dinner, and then another movie night, which we watched the new Adam Sandler movie - um... what the heck is it called? I don't even remember... it wasn't that great - but it did have some very significantly funny parts :)

 Sunday was 2nd week at the new church. Have to admit breakfast and coffee at the tables surprised me quite a bit. It was uncomfortable, but for whatever reason, it works for them. I'm just gonna keep praisin God and thankin him for whatever is coming and whatever assignment we have to learn there.

Today was more cooking, and I had dinner with a couple friends. It was nice :) And to add randomness to the moment - here are some pics of the yummy food I made today. A small (4) Pint batch of the most DELISH salsa ever... but maybe that's because I grew the tomatos AND the peppers myself? Also, a batch of carrot cake jam, and a batch of Apple pie jam. (which ironically enough, can be ordered JUST by clicking the link to the right of this post!)







Well enjoy... My sisters and I will be making plans to travel for Gramma's funeral.... should probably get packed first!

Selling Jam

Hey gals - I know it's been a couple day since I posted, but things have been crazy busy since Sunday. Boy I wish I could go back on vacation again!

So anyway - a friend of mine has been 'ordering' my home made jams/jellies for a while and she suggested I consider selling it on line. I never really thought about it since I do it as more of a hobby, but it's fun and I like it so I thought why not give it a whirl?

I'll start to post some pictures and if anyone is interested, I sell them for $5 a jar (because I don't get the jars back) - and the flavors I have are:
  • Red Pepper Jelly
  • Green Pepper Jelly
  • Peach
  • Pear
  • Carrot Cake
  • Strawberry
  • Raspberry
  • Apple
I can also gift wrap them in a little basket with home made biscuit mix too :) And if you're interested I can send them to friends and family for gifts. I have a paypal account so it's really easy to purchase, and a delicious, thoughtful gift.
