We had a long weekend this past weekend and enjoyed some family time. We went to the zoo and especially enjoyed looking at elephants and fish. I was disappointed that the butterfly area was closed, since we have been reading lots about butterflies. We got to see a few in the garden, though.
Friday afternoon, a neighbor gave us 8 good sized tomatoes. I decided we were going to try making some tomato sauce. Now, you have to understand that while I love spaghetti sauce and other tomato-based things, I really don't like raw tomatoes. However, I figured I would be fine making this sauce. Oh my goodness...as soon as the skin started coming off the tomatoes, I was gone. I just don't like the smell or texture of tomatoes. My husband was a trooper and finished making the sauce. I did manage to eat it, once I got past the thought of the raw tomatoes.
On Saturday, we made a trip to the Farmer's Market. I was thrilled to get a peck of Paula Red apples for $3.50. In addition, we got broccoli, a red pepper, sweet corn, and some cut flowers. I don't have issues with apples, so I managed to make a really yummy apple crisp on Saturday afternoon.
