It poured here today.  I bet we got 2 inches of rain.  It has stopped 
for the time being.

You may recall that I bought a book called Putting Up while I was on 
vacation.  Today, I made the Charleston Gumbo and canned 5 quarts of it. 
 I figure that's enough.  How often do you eat gumbo?  I may make 
another batch if the tomatoes hold out.  I'm tell ya, I'm not all that 
fond of gumbo but this stuff is good!
I also pickled a few jars of okra, and right now I am cooking down what 
I call 'Homemade Rotel', a mix of tomatoes and peppers that I can add to 
cheese for a dip, or to meat for extra flavor, etc.

It is a good day for canning.
