It’s been a rainy and it’s getting dark earlier around here. This shift in the seasons seems to have kicked my brain into nesting mode. My freezer is almost at capacity. I have been roasting grape tomatoes. Lately I have been individually freezing them rather than packing them in olive oil. More beans, both green and yellow, have been frozen along with red peppers. There is a tray of leeks in the freezer as I type. Tomorrow the vacuum sealer will be in high gear. Thursday I made and froze marinara sauce to use in the coming months. It felt great to finally feel one step ahead of the tomatoes, but that night was pick up at the CSA and now I have another 5 pounds. I’m thinking salsa and ketchup for this batch.

This is such a great blog! Thanks for your comments and advice about the vanilla, it’s great to hear from people who KNOW!
This post made me tired just reading it, you’ve been busy! It will certainly pay off! You sound so organized. You must be one of those crazies with organized sock drawers and color coded closets…!
Too funny! Last year I didn’t have a plan so so much of my CSA produce went to waste. I couldn’t let that happen again. I have dreams of being organized. The spouse gets so frustrated when things fall out of the panty on him. As for my sock drawer – it’s kind of a trainwreck.
Thanks
