Canned Until I Couldn't Can Anymore

From 9:30am until 4pm I canned on Saturday. Saturday night I had my "I go out almost every night during the week so I'm staying in and watching bad television" evening. I made the mistake of sitting on my couch for two hours and then trying to get up to go let the dog out I felt like the oldest person of old people. My whole body was sore and if you would have seen me walk to the back door you would have thought I was a drunk with my lurching steps. However, I have 10 jars of salsa and spaghetti sauce and had the people helping me take the stuff I had not processed long enough before. It was funny how it all came together. The day started as girl's day with KG and Tenessa. Then KG had family coming into town and had to bail. Then I borrowed a canner from Becca and she said she might come over to can if we were in the midst anyway. Then Sarah B asked for the salsa recipe because she had a crazy amount of tomatoes, so I told her to come over as well. I should have called Tammy even if it was last minute because she has amazing canning stamina and the salsa recipe is her mother's. I love this recipe so much I think a national holiday should be declared in honor of Tammy's mother. I often give this salsa as a gift and my friends agree it is the most wonderful salsa ever. Also, the spaghetti sauce is a recipe from Sarah B's mother and I feel the same about this spaghetti sauce. It took me years to find a spaghetti sauce recipe that I love. One day when I have children if they do not love this sauce as much as me I may reconsider not sending them to boarding school. Saturday was a very good day.
