August 15,2016

We are starting to receive our September issues of my cooking magazines.  I am in no way ready for fall.  The local farm stand is bursting with produce and the tomatoes and corn are just hitting their strides.  In a week or two I will start on the tomato sauce(s) and juice.  I’ll also freeze a mess of corn (off the cob).  All awfully good when the weather is not so hot…
Warner, too, is preparing for the year.  At this point he either has or is in the process of turning over 50 pounds of kirbies into various pickles.  The Pickle Prince of Pomona…  He also has frozen a mess of local berries – so nice on waffles, etc.
So, no. I am not ready for fall.  I’ll know when it’s time when I start thinking of sauerbraten and spaetzli and the like.  But not a minute before.
