This was the first week that we got to eat some cantaloupe, and it was worth the wait- like nothing I've ever had from a store. Hopefully, we'll see some corn and watermelons soon.
I did some baking this week, 10 grain bread and red velvet cupcakes. We had a delicious farm dinner one night, tomato sandwiches, cucumber salad and acorn squash. Nothing on the plate that we didn't make or grow except the condiments! I love that feeling- that you can put a meal on the table without going to the store.
Our dinner, sandwich open-faced for photo... it was soooo good!
Mmmm.
Last night I canned the rest of this week's tomatoes for sauce and soup- they will be so good this winter when we are missing our garden!
So, to show you the canning process... first I washed the tomatoes,
Then dipped in boiling water to get the skins to loosen.
Sterilized the jars,
Peeled and cut the tomatoes,
and processed them in the canner.
And there you have it!
