Kelli please take a few pics - especially of Tucker! And tell Mary we really need a little of her famous humor now and then!

I do tell her we really miss her here. And as soon as I get my new phone (hopefully today), I can take some pictures. My phone ended up in the creek on last weekends backpacking trip.

Tell her Hi!

I stopped at a farmers market yesterday and was thrilled to score a big batch of goat's milk cheese. Two flavored soft cheeses, one cumin lime and one mushroom leek. Then a pack each of Feta and a dry cheese something like Parmesan.

I asked him what kind of goats he had. He said " No no, it's what kind of goats we DON'T have" . (The answer was fainting goats)

That is awesome.

You lived without a phone that long?

No phone and no internet! Our internet is off of our phone service, so when my husband wasn't home, I couldn't get on the internet.

Oh my, how did you survive?

It was difficult.

It was difficult.

I imagine so, the kids probably enjoyed it though.

My kitchen is a mess, but I got 2 batches of salsa in the water bath canner right now. I spoiled myself by making homemade salsa, and now I don't like the taste of the store bought stuff. I had extra tomatoes, peppers, etc, so today is salsa day.

Kelly, once you add other ingredients to high-acid tomatoes the acid level usually drops to where pressure canning is necessary, or do you use a recipe that adds acid?

Yes, the recipe I use calls for a cup of vinegar. I've used it in the past and I really like the flavor. Plus, you don't have to peel the tomatoes.
