I am only going to be canning diced tomatoes this year, as I still have sauce from....well, way back. I cook up a heap of summer vege and freeze it in portions so I can add them to scrambled eggs for a better breakfast. That, or my granola keep me fired up all morning. That said, I would give my left arm for a warm loaf of sourdough bread with a hunk of cheese!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-26018650148917669652017-08-03T06:51:19.968-04:002017-08-03T06:51:19.968-04:00I would love your smoked salmon quiche recipe.

I...Wow Susan...your weekends sound WAY too busy! I'm glad you got the new fridge!!! I'm wondering what's living under ours, I'm sure a grape rolled under there a year come August lol...Usually Jack hoovers the kitchen floor for me, but he can't reach that far under the fridge.<br /><br />Oooh the blueberries! They'll be here any day now, the Quebec ones...one thing Quebec does right. I have to head out and get my 80 pounds of tomatoes for canning too. I think I'll make a few quiches for the freezer...I realized after the dog walk how starving I was and how it was too easy to reach for bread and cheese every morning! Something with a little more protein and some veggies would be better!

Sometimes it turns out excellent and sometimes it turns out poorly.

That's okay since I have shell peas to pick and process today, and the raspberries are starting.<br /><br />Love that you have those annual pilgrimages with your sister. Kinda marks your way through the year, plus gives you quality sister time plus good stuff for your pantry and freezer.<br /><br />How come we didn't get to see a picture of the new refridge?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
