I apologize--it's Ashwin Madia. I knew Madira didn't look quite right. And I saw an Al Frankin ad (Democratic candidate for Senate in Minnesota) during (you guessed it) The View. I must not be watching enough TV during the day...or perhaps he stepped up his campaign since there's less than a month to go.

I've figured it out! I'm having sympathy morning sickness. Every day for a week I've woken up nauseous, and now we know that a good friend of ours is pregnant. Good to know what's going on there :-)

We canned another 26 quarts and froze/refrigerated another 5 quarts of applesauce this weekend. Whew! That's a total of 37 quarts canned and 6.5 quarts frozen or consumed. Scott tells me that there are still some apples left on the tree, but I have a feeling those apples are not going to be turning into applesauce. Caramel apples, maybe...
I was cleaning out our garage last week and trying to get everything put away so we could get the cars in. There is a whole huge box of my mother's old canning items - jars, sieve, huge pots. I hadn't opened that box in the 7 years we lived in Buffalo and probably not the 4 before that in Mankato, either. Maybe you can give me canning pointers next summer.
