I've been cooking and freezing spaghetti sauce today. Making room on my shelves for the canned tomatoes by using up a gallon can of tomatoes I bought for sauce before I started canning my own. I added fresh tomatoes to it, along with my home grown onions, peppers, and oregano. I have a couple of trays of frozen fried eggplant from last fall, so I'm going to use some as a layer in lasagne with this sauce for this week. I didn't want to fool with figuring out what recipe can be canned (with the right ingredients, amount of lemon juice, meat or no meat, etc.) so I'll just freeze instead.

I decided to clear a few surfaces in the living room where donation clothes have piled up. I photographed clothes on the cutting board and filled a couple of bags for the Goodwill tomorrow. My son didn't protest the change of his computer work area (he requested it, but I did the job without him being here). After moving his stuff around I had more room to lay out the cutting board.

I just came in from taking a shower out in the back yard. I have a shower set on a patio so if I'm working on a hot day I can get wet quickly if I need to. And it is also there so I can turn off the porch light and step into the complete privacy of a large back yard and bathe in the fresh air. Not particularly decadent, but it feels wonderful. Since the poison ivy itches in warm water, why not treat myself? How funny--Craig Ferguson just came on and said it is "National Nude Day." Well, it was for a little while.

I just added another post to my blog, and I stuck one up linked to the Social Topics page a couple of days ago.
