I loved making beef stew in the winter, using canned stewed tomatoes. I canned these 14 qts using peppers, onions, celery seed, salt and crushed ( skins removed) tomatoes. I am asking myself today...Did i really plant 48 tomato plants ???? Last year the tomatoes didn't ripen right , so I figured I would put in a "few" extras this year..oh boy...look like lots of canning these next two weeks!
How about them Chicago Cubs!!
I love this picture! It was taken in front on my niece and nephew's house( Chris and Pat) while they were away at a Cardinals game ( boo hiss ).Except for their one fault of being Cardinal's fans, I have to add, Pat and Chris are wonderful and I love them so dearly! ..Now you ask, why the Cubs flag and shirts?? Well, my other neice and nephew ( Jill ,Jim and daughter Anna) decided to play a little joke while they were away, and had this picture taken in front of Pat and Chris's house. down came the Cardinals flag and up went the Cubs! Eh eh eh!!. Jim's family , of course are good loyal CUBS fans...and because I am as well, decided this picture needed to be blogged again!
GO CUBBIES!
Those stewed tomatoes look yummy! Wow, it's lots and lots of work, but you will be so thanking yourself this coming winter!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that Jill, Jim and Anna are great practical jokesters! Way too funny...they just needed to make the flag permanent (maybe super-glue it to the house??) :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe!!!

I would say "Go Indians!" but after the abysmal season we have had this year, I have to go with the redundant Cleveland chant of "wait til next year!" :) I can't believe what a "hottie" Anna is-if I know my son Craig, and I do-he would be in love! :)

my son is a Cards fan, so as I was getting off the phone with him, my last words were
"how 'bout those Cubs"
