It is my solemn vow to get these tomatoes finished today. Seriously. I am going to get completely done. At least until the next batch comes through the door. I hope to concentrate the rest of this week on a different vegetable. This week I want to make pickles. Lots and lots of pickles. Whole ones, spears, chips, dill, sweet, bread and butter, cubes. In other words, all of them. Now I just have to get the cucumbers.

The thing is, I could get a lot more done if I could stay off of the computer. But I think of something I need to look up so I come look it up and the next thing I know 30 minutes are gone. Then I will think of something I needed to research, like how to buy musical instruments and another hour is gone. Then I have to check my e-mail, and my facebook, and my twitter. And well, I just end up staying in front of the computer for most of the day.

Oh, you wanted to know why I wanted to know how to buy musical instruments. Well, I have decided I want to learn how to play the guitar. I have really always wanted to learn to play. I want to sit by a bonfire, roast marshmallows and play the guitar and invite everyone over that I know. Bric says I just need to stick to cooking for everyone that I know, that they would be much happier that way. Phooey on him is what I say!

Congratulations Benita! I hope you LOVE whatever you choose as much as I love mine. Their products are great!

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. If you were anything like me you ate so much that you now need some diet pills that work. This week is a hodge podge of things going on. Karate, Laundry,  Lake, Laundry, Doctor,  Laundry, Lake, Karate, Laundry. We also have plans to make more pickles at some point which means another visit to the Mennonite Village. I love going there and stocking up on all the goodies thay have to offer. Wish you could all go with me!

Once I got home I also had to make some BBQ Sauce. So, I spent the day cooking and canning. And had loads of fun! It is always great to get to spend the day with my family, spending it in the kitchen makes it that much better.
