Harvest Becoming Plentiful
So we are now harvesting tons of zucchini, tomatoes and the cucumbers are fast approaching. If anyone wants anything you might think about venturing over. We'd love to have company! Our anniversary gift to each other was buying a new pressure canner and a water bath canner! So far we've just done pickled beets. The green beans are just beginning to appear and we have tons of tomatoes. I'm not sure what I will do with all of these. Anyone have a really good salsa recipe? We seem to like the chunky salsa like we eat in Mazatlan; I'm not sure that we can "can" that. I have plenty of frozen zucchini and have been experimenting with baking some bread and chocolate cake. Not bad.....The sweet corn will probably be ready by Monday or so. Tony has been watering it every night as we have not had any rain for about 4 weeks now! Steve how is your corn? Will you have enough for everyone to freeze? We should have more than enough if anyone is interested in freezing corn here. You just have to let us know! Oh, before I forget......I took a job with Aramark on the University of South Dakota campus in Vermillion. I start August 6th and will be their Office Manager. Aramark does the food service, catering and concessions for the college; about 4 million in revenue a year. So I am pretty excited about the opportunity and the flexibility of hours that they can give me down the road. The other exciting thing is that the college is building a new student center which will be completed in a year and a half. This means we will have new offices, kitchen, etc and I will get to help with purchasing of all that stuff!! Lot's of things to look forward to. Just need to get myself accustomed to waking up earlier in the morning; Tony says this will be a major undertaking!

Congratulations on the job! This is a different one than what you had interviewed for earlier isn't it? Sounds like it will be exciting.
