Life goes on

There have been some really good sales on right now at the local grocery stores - Easter dinner and St. Patrick's Day type stuff. So, I've been taking advantage of the situation to get some stuff canned up. Which is why I didn't post yesterday.

Canned so far:

7 pints of salsa
6 pounds of corned beef
15 pounds of turkey breast

Only actually, that should really read, 11 or 12 pounds of turkey breast. Because I cut half of one breast up into steaks to be cooked up in a couple of days for a yummy dinner.

Tomorrow I'll can up the stock I got out of the turkey bones, and give it a rest for a few weeks.

You know there are people who can who do massive marathon canning sessions. They do hundreds, even thousands of jars every year. I don't think I could do that without melting down. Short little sessions like this work very well for me. I'm tired just after these little bits.

Speaking of which, I'm going to bed.
