Canned 56 quarts of tomatoes today with my mom, 1 broke in the canner, so really only 55, but it is all good, great day for it, not too hot! She knows I get hot so she put a box fan in the window right in front of where i'd be standing to peal the tomatoes, after they were blanched. It was a good productive time. I told my mom when I got there, "Oh no, I forgot my canning book you gave me to take notes in" She said, well, this won't be the last time we can tomatoes, I plan on living quite a few more years, you'll have plenty of time to take more notes." Hahaha I wasn't thinking this was the last time we'd be canning together, I just wanted my book! She is funny, she is only 65. It went fast with two people doing it, so i'm sure i'll do it with her from now on to make it easier on her. She is only 65, but those canners get heavy. Plus the boxes of tomatoes. I love spending time with her. I may have to go over there when she does beets. I don't think she is doing pickles this year.
We have tomatoes on the vines but they are not ripening very fast. In fact I've heard we're not the only ones. My Moms tomatoes though have been ripening and she's bringing me in her extra ones and I'm grabbing them of course. I should probably can some of hers. We had BLT's for supper though last night and they were so awesome.
I've been married today for 116... I mean, 16 years. Today is DH and my 16th anniversary. I drove to St. Cloud with the kids to go school shopping and then We took the kids to the High School Football game when we got back. I brought them home and I'm suppose to go back into to town and meet him at the pop shop but I'm tired. And am thinking about ditching him to his friends. Happens all the time actually. I'm getting to old for the Munie.The most amazing thing just happened. My wife brought me a beer. First time in 17 years.....
I know. I am posting to much. Oh well.
So listening to all the gin, whiskey and beer talk. I had a super funny older lady friend I worked with when I lived in Montana. She was an alcoholic but she was so hilarious. She told me one day:
"Whiskey makes me Snakey and mean. When I drink gin I think I'm rich and famous. Beer is just right for me." Oh gosh I laughed at her when she told me that. I think its true too though, with many people. Do you feel hoyty toyty when you drink gin Cyrus? LOL. When I was in college I drank Tanqueray and Tonics. Mmmm. Sounds kind of good actually.
Klop Klop when we camp I usually gain a solid 6-8 lbs. We eat good too. Marinated and smoked pork loins; chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy; venison stew in a dutch oven; we had our lobster mushrooms in shrimp Linguini at fall lake. LOL...I can see those poor saps trying to smoke those chicken nuggets. We'll even make apple and blue berry pies with whipped cream with those campfire pie irons. MMMmmm.
We're heading back up to Vermilion on Labor Day weekend. Can hardly wait. I love time with hubby and the kids in that trailer. Its one of our best investments.
