Salsa Making

With a wonderful three day weekend, Rob and I decided to delve into the Salsa making world. We used most of our yummy tomatoes and peppers to make up a fresh salsa and jared a few different varieties. After quality controlling them all they are fabulous and it was so easy.

First chop/process jalepenos/peppers of choice and onions. Also finely chop garlic

Blanch tomatoes, peel and place into pot to cook. Then add in your other ingredients-peppers, onions, garlic, corn,black beans and a seasoning pack is what we used in this bunch

Funnel the salsa into canning jars

Seal with lid as demonstrated by Robby

Our finished product! It is pretty yummy stuff!

Exploring Mother Nature

Well this week's adventures included obtaining a fishing license for me and a hunting license for Robby. Rob was so excited that we had to go buy new fishing poles and supplies, I whipped up some jello weenies to fish with and we headed out the great outdoors on Sunday morning. Rob caught one little bass and I managed to loose my line in a tree, followed by catching a small branch. I make one excellent fisherman!

Since we live less than 2 miles from a huge natural reserve James A Reed, Rob decided to make the most out of his hunting license and went to shoot dove after work once last week. This is him geared up and his successful outing of 2 birds....sad but do we expect more from Rob? Joking, anyways, he had a good time and is planning on making another trip back this week.

Hopefully this will be a more successful trip!
