Food for thought....

I have 10 minutes before the timer goes off and I must go back to the kitchen. I am dealing with more green beans. A friend is going to show me how to can my green beans in her pressure canner tommorrow because it takes alot less time than a water bath canner (or steamer like what I have). I anticipate having 6-7 quarts with today's picking, not much since I have the majority on the freezer or dilled. I also picked the last of my brussel sprouts and kale. I had 5 ripe tomatoes and 2 green peppers. I am going to try a batch of Food Snob's salsa recipe with this first picking. I made three banana zucchini breads and four regular sandwich loaf breads as well as some lentils and stirfried ginger garlic zucchini. I roasted turnips and added sauteed garlic klae (YUM!) ... I got the roasted turnip idea from Dreena's cookbook, I will always do this each year with a harvest of turnips. I added a little more seasoning.

CAT FUNNY: The kitten (no name yet, sorry to keep everyone hanging) called my cell phone this morning using Matt's phone which happened to be charging close to where my phone was sitting. Matthew's phone is voice trained. He thinks that the cat went near his phone and said, "Meow" and the phone thought it said, "Mom" and then dialed. I think it is more likely that the kitten stepped on the buttons an somehow put it in autodial mode, hitting the call button at the same time. The cat has also sent several faxes by jumping on the fax machine shelf and walking on the keypad.

Time's up, see you after the county fair probably Friday. I anticipate sharing my turnip pictures as well as open class entry results including Dave with his walnut framed mirror tiles (he made the frame).
