My neighbor is a domestic goddess. She has a family of 9 and keeps them fed with homemade and canned salsa all year. She planted over 70 tomato plants this year and her backyard looks like a mini farm. So when tomato harvest came me and my artist friend and budding domestic goddess in her own rite decided to invade my neighbors house for her to give us a refresher course in tomato canning. It was so fun to stand in the kitchen all together and chat while we worked.
We each brought our own tomatoes and helped each other can them. We even helped my neighbor can a batch of salsa.
What I didn't expect was that it went SOO fast when we were working all together and talking as we worked. It was seriously so fun. I took a picture of us all together but I've decided that I'm just not good at all at taking these kinds of pictures. So don't look to carefully because I look a little psycho. My fellow canners look fabulous though!
The finished product!!! Ta DAHHH!
See ya next year!

probably more fun doing that with friends instead of all alone in the middle of the night like me, huh? :)

Nice job, girls.
Even I made some salsa the other night. Turned out pretty well, if I say so myself.

Oh my goodness, you don't look psycho. You're a peach! That really was fun. We ought to do that every year! What are we going to can next? Canning *is* way better with friends.
I agree... Sister Nay is THE domestic goddess. I wish I could download her brain into mine...she knows how to do everything.

That same "domestic goddess" neighbor gave me my first crash course in canning too! (She showed me how to do pickles) She rocks! Now I'm a bit canning crazed - I'm in the middle of 65 bottles of peaches, and I just finished a batch of salsa and also tomatoes. Just think Sunny, your sucked in now - there's no turning back!! :)
