I'm Only Missing Tomatoes


A visit to the Atlanta Farmers Market yielded

a 25 pound bag of sweet onions- $8.00

1 1/2 bushels of bell peppers $14.00.

Lots of other things too.

But the one thing I didn't get were the tomatoes

that I need to make salsa.

Hope to get them in the next few weeks from

Waycross, GA. You can pick a 5 gallon bucket

full for $6.00!

I am going to go ahead and chop the onions and

the bell peppers so that when I do get the tomatoes

it won't take that long to make the salsa.

My goal is to have more salsa than Tauna!

I'm sure she didn't know it was a competition.

Just kidding, Tauna.

I love the salsa I made this summer for the first time

and my goal is to have 365 jars of it so

that I have a jar a day for the next year.

Just kidding on that thought too!

I do tend to go a little over board when I like certain things

but I have already eaten all the salsa I put up in July.

Make it 366 and send me a jar ; )

365? I would have to store them under my bed.

That is a great deal on Tomatoes!

Your kitchen is going to smell Yummy!!!

Tauna was so kind to treat/gift us all with one of her jars of Salsa goodness.. and on the lid it says:

Tauna's Hot

Salsa.

I love that it says Tauna's hot. :)

Wow, that's a good farmer's market. Love those prices and I love salsa too.

I love that you are competitive!! Bring on the Salsa - You will have to call your's "Gigi's Hot" because as Ann said we all got Tauna's Hot or maybe you could go even further (since it is a competition) and call yours Gigi's all that and a bag of chips! Ha Ha

Love the Farmer's Market! The veggies looks so perfect. I bet your home smells wonderful - it would make me hungry just doing the prep work. Have a great evening Gigi.

You said SALSA! One of my all time favorite comfort foods!

I think I really need to judge between yours and Tauna's. Really, I would be willing to sacrifice and take one for the team.... : )
