Domesticated

Yep, that's right.  I canned stuff.

 I've never done this before but have had really good intentions.  A few years ago, I bought all the supplies, but when the time came when my garden was going crazy, I was going crazy trying to finish all of my clients photos for Christmas card season.  Well, this time, I decided I wasn't going to let that get in my way.  I might regret it when I have to stay up all night long to edit, but when I open that can of peach jam and spread it all over a nice warm piece of homemade bread, it'll all be worth it.

 Our garden is always overrun with tomatoes, so I did three pints of pizza sauce and 20 pints of pasta sauce.

 And, I just love peaches, so I picked up a box at the fruit stand and made some fresh peach pie, 36 half pints of jam, and one quart of jam (since I ran out of the 1/2 pint jars).

 I can't believe I did it.  With a little advice from my sister and friend, and the owner's manual to the pressure cooker, you, too, can "can!"
