Weathersfield News August 31, 2016
I don't know about you but my
garden is insane with fruit this year. So much so that we had to buy a second
freezer for all the tomatoes and sauce I'm storing. I take the lazy way of
putting up tomatoes but just washing, drying, popping them into a ziplock
freezer bag and sucking the air out with a straw. My romas get cut up and
boiled down with peppers, zucchini, summer squash and basil. No food mill for
me, we eat the sauce with tomato skins and seeds included (who couldn't use
more fiber in their diet, right?) I don't "can" so I store this sauce
in re-purposed plastic containers. This process works for us-you might give it
a try too. Ok, back to the kitchen to process more tomatoes!
Another great weekend of concerts.
Friday night, we traveled to the Academy of Music in Northampton, MA to see Lucinda Williams and her band Buick 6. I only had my point and shoot so the images aren't the best but you'll get the idea of how cool the show was.
We hit the road again Saturday night. This time to Portsmouth NH. Prescott Park Arts Festival was hosting Lucinda Williams and her band Buick 6. We had a reserved blanket up front an I brought my pro-camera. But First we had dinner at Portsmouth Brewery.
Sunday we got last minute tickets to see Brian Wilson on tour for the 50th Anniversary of Pet Sounds at Bank of NH Pavilion/Meadowbrook in Gilford, NH.
