Make Salsa of course!
So the last few weeks my friend Janice and I have been on a "Molly Mormon" streak. We've been doing lots of crafts and projects, but Janice had a new scheme for today...Canning Salsa! Anyone who knows me is aware that the kitchen is not my favorite place to be, but I actually had a lot of fun canning. My friend Jolene was our teacher because she is an old pro. I pretty much just chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic and peppers for like seven hours, which gave my hands this lovely orange hue. Mario thinks that I have lost my mind and keeps reminding me that you can buy salsa at Costco, but it's all about learning a new craft in my mind. Right? Plus it was cheap to make, super yummy, and fun to do...but I am so getting into the jacuzzi right now with lots of bubbles because I smell like onions!
These are only SOME of the ingredients. We actually overbought the tomatoes and have decided to can spaghetti sauce next week.
Janice was a chopping machine and awesome to let us trash her house (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANICE, you're awesome!!!!)
Jolene was so nice to let us borrow her stuff and teach us how to do it all.
I have never in my life chopped so much! I'm going to be dreaming onions tonight!
Sweet, sweet success! Aren't they cute? It is so yummy!
Tyler slept some of the time and was a really good little baby. Adam was also super good considering that we didn't finish until 10pm...it literally took all day.
50 lbs of tomatoes equals 50 jars of delicious homemade salsa!

Isn't canning funner than you thought? I just learned how to can salsa a few weeks ago too... and it wasn't too bad!
Way to go Linda. Soon you will be just a Martha Stuart as Jennifer! Maybe ever more.
