This is how the tomatoes started out: two boxes of red, globes of juice.



And this is what they became: 1 1/2 dozen jars of canned tomatoes that will keep in the down stairs pantry until they are required for chili, or soup, or pizza sauce.

Not bad for 1/2 a days work.

(This is the way my kitchen looks right now- 12 loaves of discount bread that needs to go into the chest freezer, dehydrating Swiss chard, a bowl of yet unused tomatoes- 6 of which will be turned into tomorrow nights supper: stuffed peppers.)

Lots of fun stuff going on around here!~
