I Am Strong,,
****Due to a website glich this got put in the wrong order. Sorry about that.
Join me as we take a step back in time. Using the magic powers of the internet I am taking you back to the fall of 2014.
The day before Micheal passed I told him that I was strong and I would be okay after he passed.
Less than a month later I went on a canning binge, I thought it would prove my strength. To whom I am not sure. First off, I picked all the tomatoes that were in the garden. I came up just a few pounds short of enough tomatoes for a batch of roasted garlic pasta sauce. So, being the intelligent woman I am I went to the Farmers' Market and bought a 25-pound box of tomatoes. I had enough tomatoes to make a double batch of my pasta sauce. The next day was a trip to Costco for 2-pounds of garlic then home to get the sauce made. I ended up with 2 cases of pint jars of sauce.
Three days later I harvested all the red cabbage in the garden and made a batch of pickled red cabbage.
After the red cabbage I finished a batch of lemoncello that Micheal and I had started using moonshine as the base. I got about a case of pint jars filled up.
A few days later my neighbor Sherrie called me to tell me to look out the kitchen windows near the tree line. I looked up at the sky and told her I didn't see anything. She said look down on the ground, there are turkeys out back.
This was the first time I had ever seen wild turkeys here. I used to see them all the time up on Sugar Mountain.
A little later that morning I decided to have pasta for supper but wanted to add to my sauce. While making blueberry muffins for breakfast I sautéed some Italian sausage.
Then I sautéed up some portabella mushrooms. I love their earthly flavor and think they hold up much better in cooking than the white button mushrooms.
The completed sauce. It was really good if I do say so myself.
