    So Tuesday night, between going to the farm, finishing a John Scalzi novel, and writing yesterday morning’s CSA post, I managed to can 8½ quarts of tomato puree that I did in the Squeezo on Saturday.

    This is about 1/3 of them.

    I’d rather have canned these the same day I puréed them, but when you’re busy you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. I puréed my tomatoes on Saturday, about 35-40 pounds of them, which came out to about 12 quarts. then stuck them in the fridge. I kept some aside to make tomato soup [Read More…]

    That’s all the stuff I got this morning at the Ferguson Farmers’ Market. It’s a LOT! The pumpkin is definitely the heaviest item, and I’m assured that when it’s done being a decoration on my front porch it will still be sweet, delicious, and excellent for eating. [Read More…]

    It’s Tuesday! I’ve got my new box of delicious fresh stuff for the week.

    Here’s what’s in the box this week:CSA10-08-13

    Loose-leaf Lettuce
    Swiss Chard
    Mini-cabbage
    Hakurei Turnips
    Potatoes
    Summer Squash
    Basil
    Tomatoes

     

     

     

    There is no combination that I can think of better than that of tomatoes and Basil. I still have some tomatoes left over from the last week or two, so I think I’ll be making a hearty tomato sauce this week, for sure.
