Farmin'

So, we have been very MIA lately. Camp was nuts, didn't have time to blog or even really take pictures, and then school/moving all that overwhelmed me. But, we're back on the blogging bandwagon! Thank goodness. This is us prepping all the awesome produce we got from Troy's cousin, Luke's farm! (The one where he used to work, or rather slave himself away.)

We picked our own corn, and it was not that fun. I picked maybe 3 of our 48 pieces.

I left it up to the professional. (In this instance, Troy acted as the professional)

See? So professional.

He was also very allergic. This is a mid-sneeze picture.

Look at all that corn!!

Shucking it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I helped a lot more at this stage of the game than the picking.

We froze all of the corn. Hopefully I will eventually want to actually eat it,

because we have a TON. But that day was a blur of corn, and I haven't

found my appetite for it again.

We also made salsa! We got a bunch of tomatoes/salsa ingredients from the farm as well (picked for us this time) and we took Troy's aunt Nancy's recipe. It was an adventure, let me tell you. We cut up everything, washed out our jars, cooked up the salsa, and sealed our jars. We only got 4 of our 12 jars to properly seal, so we were handing out salsa to our friends/family. It was pretty good however, and I thought we did great for first timers!!

This is my favorite part. I took a good chunk out of my finger cutting tomatoes, so when we got to the onions, I was forced to resign due to the burning it caused (we had no band-aids.) I told Troy that putting a spoon in your mouth helped you to not cry. I legitimately heard that somewhere, but I definitely underestimate how entertaining it was going to be for me to watch.

Soon to come: pictures of our new place! The living room is still bland, so I'm waiting until I get it all finished to take you on a picture tour of our new place! We love it, and are excited to call it home!
