The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love. He will rejoice over you with singing. Zephaniah 3:17
I dare say it was all lost wensday when I was standing at a hot stove. blanching the skins of tomatoes, and then the steam from the waterbath used in canning. I got the bottles washed and rinsed in boiling water and I could only do 8 bottles at a time. I kept the bottles in the hot rinsing water until I got the tomatoes blanched. Mom helped with the skinning, and quartering, My 10 year old helped by putting the tomatoes into the jars, I added the salt water and took the air out of the jar and wiped them down, and put the lids and rings on. put that batch in the water bath to process (it takes exactly 22 minutes and that is how much time it takes to wash bottles, prep the totamtoes to be bottled, bottled and filled) We did that 7 times. no wonder our grandmothers were so thin!
AnnaLee...that's fantastic!!! You go girl!!!! I didn't get up here much this weekend or I would have seen this...congratulations!
Obviously we ALL need to be canning tomatoes! I've done that...it is hot work...never thought of it as a weight loss idea but hey...maybe I'll plant tomatoes next year!!!
You should be very proud of yourself girl! Keep up the great work...doesn't that feel fantastic?
You lost the equivalent of almost 2 lbs of butter...yeah you!!!
Love, Colette
