Trading Places!

I’ve got to watch it.  My temporary blindness is becoming not so temporary, so Mary is doing more and more of the canning and finding ideas for the use of fruits and vegetables.  So far we have added Amoretto Peaches, Orange Flavored Plums, Tangy Plum Sauce. Herb tomatoes with Italian or Mexican spice, Bruschetta In A Jar and Tomato Jelly.  How is that for taking up the slack.  Now all we have to wait for are the grapes to come in.  Yeah Sure!!

Projects for today:
Meatballs from an Alton Brown recipe on Food Network.Com.  In Alton’s words, This is a multi-tasker”.  Finding the recipe that fits the ingredients I want to use, mixing them, forming the size I want, cooking, and then freezing them in portions for two people.  (If we have company take out two packages)  I’m trying to find the perfect meatball for freezing to use in different types recipes such as in cream sauce, tomato sauce, brown gravy, or sweet and sour sauce. 

Second project is portioning out and repackaging the sausage we bought on sale. 

Sure appreciate your comments!
