Sunday Stills


Food - that is the challenge Ed gave us today; and to have at least three items in the photo. My meals were uninspiring, so I went with the condiments I use at mealtime: pickles, jam, and salsa! Since I was making pickled carrots, here are the carrots, garlic, and dill that I put in the jars.
I love canning, here is the mincemeat, grape jelly and salsa that I made recently.
I'm waiting for the last of my tomatoes to ripen so that I can make another batch of salsa; hopefully this bowlful of garlic, jalapeƱo, and lime will last till then; they are looking a little sad!

Well, I hope I can keep my internet connected long enough to visit all your blogs today, it's been really dismal lately.

You're still getting tomatoes? My garden is long frozen over.

I have picked all my tomatoes, many of them are still green. I have enough left for one batch of salsa.

Mmm, homemade salsa sounds great. I love the colorful pics too.

Judy said...

Your food photos look pretty professional! I think that right up there with eating the things I can is hearing the jars pop as they seal. It is such a satisfying sound, don't you think?

Shirley said...

Judy, I thought I was the only one silly enough to love that sound! It is so satisfying, isn't it!
