Good Morning, Good Morning!

Here I am still in my pajamas with unkempt hair showered, dressed, & thinking about what to have for lunch. Of course I am! Who would waste their morning on Crackbook while there are peppers to chop & salsa to make?

Yesterday I bought 33 pounds of peppers: 22 lbs green & 11 lbs red. Hopefully, I will have enough to make a big-ass batch of salsa so I won't have to do it again for another year. Someone asked me as I was hauling them out to my car {all by myself, I'm independent like that, thank you very much} "What're you doing with all the peppers?" Um. Well. Wouldn't it be obvious? Or is it just me?



For years now I've been using my salsa as a last-minute gift resource, depleting the stores I have put away ~ what am I? A squirrel? ~ by handing out salsa left, right & centre, & bringing salsa to every party & potlucky thingy I've been too. Well, NO MORE! Salsa is a lot of work. Salsa takes a lot of time. Salsa is not cheap to make. I'm going to get stingy with the salsa from now on. If I hadn't been so generous, so free, so careless in handing it out to all & sundry, I wouldn't be in the pickle I'm in now {only 3 jars left in the storeroom}.

So enjoy those last bits of salsa in the jar, my friends, cuz those are your last bits.

Salsa does take alot of time, why don't you go to costco buy a big ass jar or two of it and put them into your jars with your special lids and sell it as yours.

Takes less time, and I do believe would even cost less.

Just a suggestion

v

p.s. but you do make a deadly salso so maybe that isnt a very good suggestion

I would hope - & maybe this is just my ego talking - that people would know the difference.

Maybe they wouldn't?
