everybody gets washed and sterilized all at once...
just half of the veggies we used
peppers, toms, garlic in one pot, ketchup in the other pot...
the outdoor kitchen...
go big or go home.
by nightfall, we were ready to fall... but, it was all worth it in the end.
Greatest discoveries this year?
1) Frozen tomatoes are the way to go. The skins POP off once you put them in warm water, and the extra water can be squeezed right out of them. Plus, you can buy them frozen from one of the farms, and they've been washed and the spots have been cut off...
2) Raising the table will save your back! We used a few pieces of 2x4s and lifted the table, the difference was amazing.
3) Stopping for meals is IMPORTANT.
Last year we switched to doing all the chopping the night before (the peppers, onions, garlic and some of the toms). Doing this broke up the work in a way that didn't leave us hating each other by the time we finished.
Please drop something I can eat.
