Making marinara and canning it was mostly successful yesterday. I ended up with 25 lbs of tomatoes because I had 5 lbs from my garden to add to the box.

Unfortunately I inadvertently under processed one batch so I will have to redo that one this morning. It's a pain because I actually have to take it all out of the jars, heat it up then repack freshly sanitized jars and reprocess. Oh well. Mistakes happen.

The good news is I have 18 pints of marinara sauce. Perfect amount for a dinner for two, either on pasta or eggplant parmesan. So many ways to use it really.

I used to can in quart jars and there was always too much leftover for the two of us. We are not big on leftovers, so pints will work much better for us.

Good morning Love the pints we did use them on pizza.
I use the quarts other times.
I stayed up late sewing made 4 pairs of britches.

Still getting some really big eggs. Both of these were laid this morning along with 4 that were more normal sized, probably around 50 grams each.. Looked like there was another shell less egg this morning under the roost, too.

Headed out now 85 is the high today. Fans are all going overtime taking ice out to melt in water for today.

I was in Portland and the coast for the smoke-y time, not planned ahead of time, but my daughter planned a nice visit. We are back, the weather is nice. Wind just starting.

Glad you made the trip safe.

We were driving through E. WA about Vantage, and our van conked out because it was 100 and we didn't know there was a second place to put coolant in the engine. We only knew about the over flow area. Now we know, the rest of the trip was fine.

 

[pennyJo1960]

Vantage has always been beautiful, heck on allot of trucks, cars and people.

We had to pull over by the side of the road at one point and wait for a tow truck to take us to Ellensberg, and stay the night. (Yeah. The Red Lion had a comfy bed though.) When I was by the side of the road waiting for tow truck I went and took a folding chair to the edge of the road by a cliff and had a coors light. My vacation was still started.
