Canning Salsa

I enjoy canning. Time consuming but not difficult. Results in homemade deliciousness. Leaves you with a sense of accomplishment. I consider it meditation time. Felt like meditating one day last week and created a batch of salsa. Just a small batch, seven half-pints. Pretty tasty. The cat didn't help but she was curious. Who else is canning?

Pasta & Beans Soup (pasta e fagioli)


Well, I'm sad to say that summer is really behind us. On one hand, I miss the warmer temps (what little of them we had in Seattle this year). On the other hand, I'm excited to start cooking hearty soups.
