I had the morning off last Friday. Not missing an opportunity to use my skills, Mom asked me to chop up some onions and celery for the spaghetti sauce she would make later that afternoon. And me, having a newfound love of chopping up vegetables since watching Rachael Ray agreed to do it for her. I tackled the onions first. I had to take a break four times. Ow! And putting a bowl of water nearby does not help (where did I hear that old wives tale? I probably heard a tip similar, couldn't remember it and put my own spin on it. A spin that didn't work...) My eyes just kept watering and stinging, I'd wiped them 3 times before I took this flattering and attractive picture of me. I'm sure if any of you have cut onions, you feel my pain. Know of a way to avoid this discomfort? Do share :)
And then the time when we got to mix everything together. I believe the recipe might be a little too much for the pot (See below). We got to eat the sauce of our labors on Sunday. Yum!
Boil boil, bubbalin' over

Wow, lots o' sauce!
I used the cache cooker out side last time I canned. It was awesome. Just washed the mess away and nothing to clean up in the kitchen. We made 5 gallons of applesauce.

Hi Katie! It's L's sister....anyway, get your onions cold before chopping!
