My tomatoes are coming on fast and furious these past few weeks, prompting me to keep up a similar pace in turning them into something yummy. Today I took it upon myself to turn 5 pounds of ripe roma tomatoes into a lovely veggie pasta sauce, 8 cups of which went straight into seal-a-meal bags, and then the freezer (woohoo!).
Immediately following my spontaneous sauce-making spree, I felt a well-earned sense of accomplishment. A few hours later, I felt a well-earned throb in my right shoulder. I have dubbed this achy side effect of my 'mater milling "sauce shoulder". Though cranking 5 pounds of tomatoes through my tiny food mill, while listening to my ipod was actually relaxing at the time, I'm presently paying the price for my zeal for the homemade. Owie.
Congrats on the new blog! Love the look and your creative writing. Mediocre is spelled interestingly. ;-) (Billy can tell you I'm the Grammar Nazi). Look forward to catching up on your misadventures.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I meant to say I LOVE the name of your blog. Can't imagine that wasn't taken. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching my spelling boo-boo! I'm unfortunately quite prone to those. ;P
ReplyDeleteYou are such a great writer and friend--can't wait to read these and smile! Maybe I'll finally get it together to do my blog someday too!! Sorry about your shoulder--I'll bet the sauce rocks, though. :)
