More Food Prep

  Today started with an early morning

(ok, 9:00, but that FEELS early)

RS Activity Committee meeting

in Hays.

(She brought fresh doughnuts though... yum!)

Anyhow.

We had a really good meeting,

and our committee planned for what they are

calling "Snacksgiving".

They are setting up a fire-pit in the 

parking lot and doing hot dogs and s'mores.

(And other stuff...)

It sounds like fun!

Then I headed home and got to work on

the spaghetti sauce.

It was MESSY!

I ended up with two of these big pots of spaghetti sauce.

I pressure canned 8 pint jars of sauce with ground beef,

onions, peppers and mushrooms.

I still have another pot, so I'm going to waterbath another

8 pints without the beef.

I just finished teaching.

So I'm going to quick and get those in the jars and

into the Nesco Electric Canner.

(Instead of steam canning... they are already

out on the counter...)

Anyhow.

It was a busy and productive day!

(Oh, I also chopped and froze two quart

bags of colored peppers... now that the

summer is over, the peppers are producing

like crazy. Of course.....)
