Salsa

I did it! I made 10 pints of homemade salsa last night! (Well Sherri and I did, thanks for the help Shutterbug!) For those of you that don't know, I've been super excited all summer long to make my own salsa. I really wanted to last summer, but didn't get enough tomatoes from the garden to actually make salsa. This year I went a little over board to over compensate for the lack of tomatoes last year and have more tomatoes then I know what to do with. Which if you ask me is still a way better problem to deal with than not enough tomatoes. So I tried my hand at making salsa last night and it turned out great! I have another recipe for salsa that I'm going to try in a week or so once more tomatoes are ripe and I'm also going to try spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce as well! The only thing that sucked about making salsa last night is my hands are still burning from cutting up the jalapeno peppers. Someone once told me, "Wear gloves when you chop the hot peppers" and I thought they were just wimps or crazy...well let me tell you they are NOT. It burns! So live and learn I guess, but I won't make that same mistake twice.

Logie's doing great at the new daycare. Last night however he did get another bout of bad diaper rash. I really think it's from all the fresh fruits and veggies he eats at the ranch. We've got grape vines growing in the trees at our house and they are super sweet and delicious! Logan goes crazy for them and was eating about 2 -3 apples a day for a while, but we're trying to cut back on that. Plus sweet corn almost every night for dinner (which is another thing he goes crazy for). I think it's just a little too much for his little digestive system. Who knows though, we'll just have to try a few things with his diet and see if it helps. I would rather have the problem of him eating too much/many fruits and veggies than not enough though.

Happy Hump Day everyone!
