and more sauce
Only ended up making 8 quarts of sauce from the tomatoes we got from Blox; went out this morning to another farm closer to the house, and got 50 pounds of heirloom tomatoes [I actually rather prefer Blox's health kick hybrid variety, as it's made for saucing and has extra lycopene in, as well as being delicious the plant is very hearty and disease resistant--but these were much closer to get to this morning], and backed into a thing, making me extra unhappy, though the car only has a scratch on the bumper. Anyone have any experience with patch kits? Considering it.
As I began reducing them down, discovered our exhaust fan was dying. This is hugely problematic in the summer heat, even when we are not trying to run the stove nigh constantly to make tomato sauce and can it.
So I skipped going to the gym today to deal with this new problem.
Hopefully soon Clark's will come out and install the new undercabinet range hood, with a promised much better fan. While researching these, Lowe's claims one should not use LED bulbs in range hoods designed for incandescent or halogen bulbs. No idea why, and it seems a bit sketchy, but they were adamant...does make one wonder.
Hopefully this install does not take long, so I can get back to working on saucing and canning [and exercise in the basement].
last night and this morning did go back to taking a superhuman amount of supplements [which i'd taken a few weeks off of for no real reason], and lo and behold, I have much more energy, am handling life better, am not wishing to just nap, etc. Have not tried to look at art yet though...
