Did someone say, SALSA???

Pretty sad when you get all excited about a few bags of pears, a huge bowl of plums, a surplus of tomatoes, and a great deal at Rite Aid - (buy one get one free on the bags of Peanut M&M's.) Seriously...I've said it before. I need to get a life.

Fall harvest time gets me very excited to do some canning...make some pear sauce (like babyfood), plum jelly, and some fresh salsa. And those peanut M&M's? Well, those are for me, silly! I can't pass up a deal like that! Despite the huge funk I've been in...I'm attempting to crawl out of it through prayer, perserverance, and copious amounts of peanut M&M's. It's just a little thing I find that helps pull me out of a funk...I learned it from my mom. (and you thought you were eating all those M&M's you hid in your underwear drawer, mom?)

I can't wait to start canning tomorrow morning! I think I'll start with the salsa since the tomatoes are piling up. I think I feel those copious amounts of peanut M&M's working already.

Gonna go throw some vittles together and get ready for some Friday Night Football! We're hosting a team from Canada tonight....Saunder's Secondary School from London, Ontario. The talk on the street is that their Junior team won the city championships in 2007. Should be a good game.

Oh, and a note to self: *next time your kid asks for some cash to get a "pre-game" sub at Subway? DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR DEBIT CARD!!!! I ended up paying for 3 football players to eat instead of one. This is a kid who needs to get a job. I'm thinking up several jobs for him to do tomorrow.
