What is this mess in the hallway? Well... let's just say it all started with a cool shower curtain. Add a simple tug at the wallpaper, and I plunged headlong into redoing the bathroom!
I am woman, hear me roar!
With lots of help (thanks, Dad!) we got the bathroom done in two days! Woo hoo!
Last night I also went out to ourweed vegetable garden and picked lots of tomatoes and peppers...
...thus, salsa! I made a half batch of this recipe from recipezaar. Here's what I did:

5 . B r i n g j u s t t o a b o i l , t h e n l a d l e i n t o containers. Sample the warm salsa—it’s really good!
I don't have a canner, but I followed this up to step 5 and it's wonderful! It made about 2 pints of salsa.
And since I was already straying from cupcakes this weekend, I made muffins for my Dad and B2.
Have a great Labor Day!

I'm so proud of your mad redecorating skills (and a little jealous). Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteTo can salsa you don't have to have a canner. If you want to know how to do it without a canner let me know and I would be glad to tell you.
