Off to C-ville today to babysit the nieces for the morning. I may be back some in the afternoon, but we shall see.
I got two canners of pie filling canned yesterday. And then I hurt so badly I pretty much sat around most of the rest of the day. The standing required for that job is more than I can do for a long time anymore. And I even sat down (with the Olympics on) to slice the apples!
Maybe to get rid of the rest of the apples, I’ll hold tutoring sessions on canning for my friends. They always tell me it’s cool, but they don’t know how. So maybe I can walk them through it and send them home with their own jars of applesauce/pie filling. We shall see…
In the afternoon yesterday, I sat on the couch and read after I watched the America’s Got Talent I had recorded and forgotten about. I was going to do some more organizing upstairs, but my body was telling me it needed the break. In the evening, I watched a bit of Olympic diving and then we watched Eureka. Then to bed.
Okay, gotta run. Happy Wednesday!
@ch1pch0p – I have three containers of apples left. Want to can some?
just passing by! 🙂
You should have brought them with you. I would have helped you with them! Too late, now!!
I want to learn how to can. Wish you lived closer. I’m going to need to do *something* with the massive amounts of tomatoes we’re about to have!
Or maybe you just sneak around after dark leaving bags of apples on people’s doorstep….better than zucchini!
No long standing, you big doofus.
How many apples do you have left??
i would come, too!
You canned pie filling? I’m super impressed! I don’t know anyone that has canned pie filling. Guess I never thought of it. Wow! And pregnant. I’ve canned tomatoes and beans and other stuff but wow. I wish I lived closer and you could teach me. I’m thinking you are working too hard and need to rest!
if i lived closer, i would come to a canning tutoring session! i need to be home-maker-ized.
