I have thought about canning for a few years so I recently bought some supplies (including a big pot and rack at Walmart for $18!)
I first canned some tomatoes. Not sauce, not juice, nothing fancy, just tomatoes. I haven't opened one yet so I will let you know later how they taste. Probably this winter.....
Last week, I took the kids to a local orchard for raspberry picking. There was more running and yelling than picking but we did pick 3 1/2 pounds. A few days later, these lovely jars were made. I had extra raspberries so they were frozen for smoothies.
Speaking of smoothies, I made a new one today. Last week, with an abundance of peaches in the fridge getting soft, I made a peach crisp. I didn't cut the pieces small enough so the crisp didn't turn out as good as I would have liked. Fast forward to today, into the Vitamix goes half the crisp, some coconut milk, and pineapple juice. YUMMY!
As for the silly stuff, Andrew has recently figured out how to catch our guinea pigs. He takes them all over the house and plays with them. He is very gentle and loving. I snapped a few pics yesterday:
