I also can and bake. I usually love it. I have a huge number of green tomatoes waiting make Chowchow. I just need to buy some other veggies to make it up. I have made lots of squash bread and banana bread for the freezer. I gift it during the holidays. I also make jams and jellies.
I am packing up a good portion of my house getting ready for new carpeting soon. The installers are supposed to call us today or tomorrow. I can't get to my canner. Oh dear...
I really hate this. My third cousin came to meet me and brought her three daughters for a few hours in the midst of all of this. It was fun, kind of hard to entertain with the house in disarray. They are here for only a short while; she is a doctor who travels.
Anyway, happy fall everyone. Enjoy your friends and family.
