Check out Episode 22 of the new food podcast,
Chicken 'n Waffles!

A little photo update on my pretty canning collection for '09.

I think I might like to can a bit.

Recent additions include a spicy apple cranberry chutney, cranberry sauce w/ port, pickled jalapenos made with peppers my parents grew and my five-spice ketchup.

I'm like an old cat lady, only with cans.

I also got some killer organic heirloom hot peppers from Jennifer, my Harvest Moon CSA lady. Hot pepper jelly, anyone?

You are totally checking out my cans. Nice, huh?

It is official. I may never need to buy another condiment again. Ever.

Happy friday!
